Working just as expected. Were an electrical company and this has definitely improved efficiency and safety when loading, unloading, and moving transformers up and down stairs. So far we've moved up to 600lb equipment cabinets with no issues.
Advantages: Heavy duty. Forklift attachment.

my Escalera is beautiful and extremely well built. the paint on the handles near the top is scratched from the shipping company but the hand truck is solid.
Advantages: this thing will save me and my teams backs so we can keep doing what we do.
Disadvantages: its pretty heavy so I need another person to operate it safely and transport it.

This thing is a beast! Aside from lifting up to 1200lbs up stair with no problem, I think the nicest feature is the "forklift" that allows you to lift the load onto the bed of a truck with no problem.
Advantages: It makes moving heavy items easy.

Game changer! There is a learning curve as I soon found out. First run you’ll want to take a lighter load. The automatic braking system is critical for moving down the stairs.
Advantages: One man moving! Forklift can be incredibly useful for loading/unloading.
Disadvantages: When you have a heavy load it can be strenuous to maintain the balance.

Once this came in we put it to use immediately. We really appreciate the quality and craftsmanship that was thought about behind the engineering.
The Simplicity and adaptability to various situations is very obvious behind what we saw in the engineering of the product.
We are very pleased with the purchase and will continue to use it for as long as we can. We move heavy HVAC compressors up and down stairs in places where it's not convenient or advantageous to wait for a crane.
Huge time and back saver!
Advantages: With the available accessories the unit is capable of just about every situation that it will fit into
Disadvantages: Storage and management of the accessories, but that comes with anything that is complex.

Used in an elementary school with no elevator makes very short work of pulling a dolly loaded with cases of paper to the third floor. the forklift attachment works great for loading heavy furniture up onto a stage. Used to require 4 men tto move a heavy wooden desk downstairs now accomplished by one person with NO back pain Love my Stair Cat
Advantages: Fewer employees needed to accomplish task and with zero back pain. All in all it is a great product. never be without one from now on
Disadvantages: A little heavy but if you can't carry it up stairs it can always climb up by itself

I collect antique slot machines for home entertainment and getting these 250lb machines up my stairway has been a problem. Normally I rent an electric stair climber when I need one but the last time I had to drive 50 miles to the nearest rental company that had one. This was a total of 200 miles driven for a 10 minute job.
This was the last time. I decided to buy my own. The Escalera Motorized Stair Climber was a perfect solution. It is a really quality hand truck and it performs as advertised. I'm very pleased with my purchase. It also helps with my piece of mind that it is manufactured in the USA, actually in my home state, and I can get parts for it and support if it ever needs repair.
Advantages: The optional feature I value most is the step sensor. It works like a charm and makes going down stairs much safer and easier.
The stairclimber is strong yet feels light weight (without forklift) and easy to handle compared to some others I've rented.
Disadvantages: My only complaint is with the optional forklift. The lift plate accessory that mounts on the forks doesn't fit properly. I'm currently working it out with the manufacturer.
One other comment about the forklift. Beware the amount of weight it adds to the handtruck.
I'm 70 years old and not as strong as I used to be and this hand truck becomes a heavy beast for me when going up stairs with the forklift attached. Luckily I chose the detachable forklift and I only install it when I need to lift. I wouldn't expect a younger man to have any problem.

We've had a couple of these over the years. We move very large and heavy safes so we wear them out quicker than normal, however, they work great and can be a lifesaver when we have to get safes up to the 2nd floor or smaller safes lifted up into cubby holes!! Definitely recommended if you move smaller and larger objects around.

Snowing again and finally it arrived after numerous weather delays. I thought I was making making snow balls at first, as I dragged a large heavy test load across the yard. The snow kept braking off the wheels in chunks and sooner than you know it, I was heading up the steps.
Advantages: Wheels are hard and tread is tight so no snow made it up the stairs. Climber can take the weight and do the lifting work for you.
Disadvantages: Don't jet too close to step edge on way down or it will slip off edge and drop down that step. Same goes for too far away.

Excellent product works as expected.There are a few annoying shortcomings (see disadvantages section), this is an excellent product in terms of material, build quality and operation.
Advantages: At 73, I'm able to unload heavy pallets from my pickup and transport the contents up the front steps and down into the basement with relative ease.
Disadvantages: A couple of things that could be improved: The seat belt material used for the rewind straps is designed to stretch in car accidents, and unfortunately it does under load; but, it is a very easy to use retractable system. The quick connect charging cable should be integrated into the battery wiring at the factory. Took a while to get the little rubber boots off-on so all connections would be insulated. Some more recent, higher resolution, online videos would be welcome along with one to demonstrate the alleged "easy" removal of the forklift (there has got to be an easy trick to that). Some instructions are lacking so you have to go searching the old videos to see how something was done .e.g. step detectors. Step detectors are very hard to see and activate with the retractable load support installed.

Awesome dolly. Work as advertised. Very easy to use. I opt the forklift option and it greatly helps to balance the load. Moved multiple 500 lbs. geothermal heat pumps in a 3 story house with 2 guys. It took less than 10 minutes to climb 1 geo unit all 67 steps. This dolly even climbed spiral staircase with ease. I would highly recommend this dolly to anybody that has to move heavy object up and down the stairs.
Advantages: easy of use, very stable. forklift option is worth it; it offer so many options from removing heavy equipment from the van/truck to holding the equipment in place when hanging it from the ceiling to balancing the load when going up and down the stairs.
Disadvantages: Haven't any seen disadvantage yet except that I should have opt for the step detection system; going down the steps is actually more difficult than going up the steps.

I own a HVAC company. I recently had back surgery and I needed to find a way to load/unload from my trucks and get my equipment/ units up and downstairs, in attics and on shelves. This is it! To me the $3,000+ expense was kinda steep but compared to my $90,000+ surgery I feel like it's a great investment.
I purchased the Hitch/Reciever and the Big Wheel attachments which are most definitely must haves. Being able to move my HVAC equipment by myself has been quite liberating and is saving a lot of additional labor expenses. It's a little slow, it takes me about 2-3 minutes to go up a flight of stairs by myself, which is fine considering that I am not hurting myself or tired after I'm done.
Learning to go down the stairs was a challenge at first but totally doable. I find myself very popular among my friends and family who have been getting me to come show off my new toy to move various large items like a pinball machine, a refrigerator, a safe etc. All in all I'm very pleased with my purchase. So YES I recommend this product.
Advantages: Very stable. Extremely smooth operation. Nice user friendly automatic charger. Hitch/Reciever attachment makes transportation super simple. The big wheel attachment turns this amazing machine into an off road beast.
The seat belt style strap stores away very neatly.
Disadvantages: My only complaint is I wish that the seat belt style strap had a ratcheting mechanism. Maybe I'm doing something wrong or perhaps I'm a little impatient but I feel that tightly securing the load is challenging with the factory installed seat belt style strap.

Overall, the unit does do what you see in the videos and promos. Now consider real life situations. Your not always on pavement and level ground aka perfect conditions. We use the unit to move 500lb to 600lb boilers which can prove to be a challenge in the grass, hills, snow, dirt, etc. We bought the large tires, but the small set of tires make it difficult when you stop and and need to use the lift to get a boiler up on to the bed of a truck and the driveway is dirt or gravel. Almost impossible to move around if needed.
Advantages: Great design and balance for the heavy stuff. Hand lift works great and saves your back to get things on and off a truck. Stair climber works great and I would recommend the stair finder since it could be hard to see when your climbing or descending stairs.
Disadvantages: NEED to get a way to lock the wheels. Not easy to hand crank a 600lb item onto a truck when the unit rolls around. Have to keep a board on the truck to shim the wheels.
Highly recommend as suggested, practice, practice, practice going up and down stairs with the unit empty before adding the weight.

This is the deal. I own apartment buildings, laundromats, and even a few car dealerships where we have mechanics working for us. This freaking dolly... I purchased a dump truck about 12 years ago, after I purchased it we all said " how on earth did we get by without that truck for so long? Thats how this dolly is... how on earth did we get by without this dolly. From moving appliances up 5 stories of stairs, loading 1000 lbs diesel engines or trannys to picking up 1100 lb laundry machines... all by yourself! Amazing
Advantages: Makes everything easy
Disadvantages: Should have purchased the stairs... this think is very heavy and hard to get into a truck bed.

Advantages: I Received everything as expected. I would highly recommend the step safety detection system. It’s a great improvement. Well built but heavy. Wasn’t fully prepared for how heavy it actually is. Might be worth purchasing the steps with it. I ended up with the trailer hitch for transportation.
Disadvantages: Well built but heavy. Wasn’t fully prepared for how heavy it actually is. Might be worth purchasing the steps with it.

I bought this staircat handtruck after careful consideration and comparing features and quality of build. Upon receiving my unit I noticed how superbly it was packaged against damage, and like the functionality and design of the forklift accessory as well as the ease in which the battery can be charged and maintained. One can see immediately the attention to detail the company pays to ensuring the final product is built for heavy duty operation. I'd recommend this unit to anyone!
Advantages: I compared the features and build quality of the staircat against other handtrucks that are suppose to do the same job, and the competition costs a lot more and doesn't have forklift feature I wanted for loading and unloading a truck. That was important to me and is why I chose the staircat.
Disadvantages: I'll get back to you on that if I find some...

This stairclimber with forklift is the way to go, I'm in the Plumbing & Heating business and have been using regular dolly's to move equipment up and down steps and lifting by hand into my truck, no more back pain and struggling up and down steps.
Advantages: Allows me to not damage the stair well and steps, saves my back from breaking, no damage to steps or risers, no more damaged walls, can transport using the hitch attachment, stairclimber is not welded so if a side rail gets damaged you can buy that part only not the whole unit.
Disadvantages: There are none this stairclimber is a win win all the way around a know brainer.

My name is Bruce Powers and this is my review of the hand truck our company bought about 2 months ago. This hand truck is great for your back and all your body parts. This little hand truck is a great for lifting all kinds of items with out hurting yourself.
I work for a detention facility and before I had to build a wooden ramp and take a run at the ramp to move fire proof cabinets that can weigh up to 800 lbs up the ramp and I paid for it with pain in my knees and hip.
Yesterday with the Escalera hand truck I backed up to the curb and with the mini fork lift design and the hand crank I was able to easily lift the fire proof file cabinet above the company trucks tail gate and slide it off on to the bed of the truck and I had two guys helping me.
The other use for this hand truck is lifting heavy items in the shop like tires and cutting edges for the roads departments motor grader so you can say it's like having a extra hand too.
Advantages: Very easy to use, my coworker didn't even read the instructions and was able to use the stair climber option to go up a set of stairs with the fire proof cabinet so I recommend getting 1 so you don't get hurt and have to get work men's comp.
Disadvantages: None

We here at Air technology move alot of heavy equipment. The Escalara stair climber is totally awesome. We move water heaters and boilers in and out of houses all day, and we find it to be a real back saver.
Disadvantages: I lift weights for my personal goals but my men that work for me don't, so they have a hard time lifting up the unit into the truck.
Handtrucks2go Specialist: Instead of lifting it in and out of the truck, simply lean it against the bumper and push the handles down towards the floor when bringing it into the truck, and slide it down when taking it out.

I love the product my (2nd purchase) of an Escalera, the first being from another distributor. I have to say that I was VERY happy with my entire purchase experience with Handtrucks2go. The process was quick, seamless and professional and it far exceeded my expectations and I would definitely recommend the product and I would absolutely suggest you do the deal with Handtrucks2go.

Davis Business Machines purchased an Escalera Model RLA-EW on 8/5/2016. It has worked flawlessly. We use it to move copiers up and down stairs and it is GREAT. The forklift attachment is FANTASTIC. The ease of working the stair lift and forklift is AMAZING. We couldn't be more pleased with our purchase.

We have used the hand truck two days ago and we love it it will come in very handy in the future for moving boilers and heaters in buildings and homes where there are no elevators and we must use the steps.

They had what we were looking for at the best price.
Advantages: Better pricing
Disadvantages: Product did not ship by the specified day. This delayed our own work schedule.
Handtrucks2go Response: We apologize for the unexpected delay. Once in a while we just get so many orders in that we fall behind the expected ship date. The guys came in on Sunday to catch up to schedule to get these units out.

So far, so good, Had the opportunity to use it one time on a 450 pound load and it went well. Trying to learn how to balance at the right angle and also hold and run switch.
Advantages: No workmans comp claims, easy to maneuver around when on the ground and strong for lifting at high angle.

I have bad knees and going up and down stairs is hard on me. I have a load of 5 to 7 computers on my old hand truck all I could think of was am I going to have enough in me to keep them from falling down the stairs. Now with the Escalera Motorized Stair Climber With Forklift Handtruck I do not worry I just let stair climber do it job with little effort on my part.
Advantages: When I get back to the shop the fork lift allows me to put my stuff away on shelves with little to no effort also on my part.
Disadvantages: The only problem I have is loading the Escalera Motorized Stair Climber With Forklift Handtruck into my trailer I do not have a ramp and the Escalera Motorized Stair Climber With Forklift Handtruck is just a little bit to short for the stair climber to be able to work. I have now gotten a ramp and loading and unloading is no problem now.
Thanks

Great product!!!!! The only negative is we didn't get it sooner. Steps are truly a breeze.
We added the big wheel attachment which is wonderful, making gravel drives, yards, etc. easy.
When on a smooth surface, the retractable load support makes any size item a one man move.
The step detection system takes some practice and has not been beneficial to us yet. In order for it to work, the truck angle has to be right which is not always possible.
The hand crank lift is great and easy to remove.
Handtrucks2go has quick response time and seems to have excellent customer service. "Seems" because outside of the purchase and a couple of questions afterward, the transaction was so smooth I haven't needed any customer service!!!!

Feels like very high quality, easy to operate, quality built – what more can I say? This is a great product and really increases productivity, prevents back injury and its easy rolling design protects even the most fragile items. Fantastic product!

Ordered the product customer service was very helpful. Seemed like the shipping was a little slow, took about 8 days till it came. But at the end of the day the product was as stated, and works very well. Thanks Mike

Climbs stairs well but if you are taking an appliance up stairs and need to turn the corner at the top of the stairs although the unit, does swivel in its place, there is no where to put your foot to maneuver the unit to swivel or turn the unit. It lifts great we stack appliances on top of each other. We also use it to work on items with the stacker lift add-on.

I really like this unit. I am still learning it but with everything I used it on has been great. It has taken a lot of work out of moving things both up and down stairs.

I love the actaul mechanics and use of this product. However, the straps do NOT get tight. Really need to be a ratchet style. Like the seatbelt thought process but here again there is no way to tighten.

Great service. Very helpful. The hand truck will be very beneficial for moving my pinball machines and jukeboxes up and down the steps in buildings where there are no service elevators.

This stair climber is high quality and very easy to use. The lift attachment installs and removes in a minute.
Only regret we didn't purchase one sooner. Would have spared some aching backs and worries about injures to our employees.
