Hand Trucks and Dolly Carts—Buying Guide

Hand trucks are known by many names—dolly, cart, sack truck, trundler, bag barrow—but are all basically L-shaped contraptions with wheels used for moving large and heavy items. The top part of the L serves as the handle and the bottom part is a flat platform that can slide under a box or an appliance. The user then tilts the hand truck backward thereby easily lifting the item up off the floor to wheel it wherever it needs to go.

Other types of dolly trucks come in the form of a simple platform with wheels and a handle, or a pry lever, and others can convert into stair climbing hand trucks and compactly fold away for easy storage.

It is nice that it is as secure as it is."
