    Escalera Staircat Powered Stair Climber Hand Truck

    Escalera Motorized Stairclimber Hand Truck 

    Handtrucks2Go is proud to offer the the Escalera Staircat Electric Stair Climber hand truck for sale as part of our continuous efforts to present our customers the widest array of motorized stair climbers available anywhere. Made right here in the USA, constructed of a tough tempered aluminum alloy, making the handtrucks stronger than magnesium, but lighter than steel. All Escalera Stair Climber hand trucks are 24 inches wide and range in size from 60 inches to 72 inches tall.

    One of the things that we especially like about the Escalera is the wide array of accessories available with the machine, making it a great choice for many applications. See the Accessories tab on top for full details. Every Escalera Stair Climber ships with the sealed gel-cell battery, automatic battery charger, and one automatic rewind safety strap included.

    They come with a 1200 pound capacity. (Please note the 700 lb models MS-60, MS-66, and MS-72 have been discontinued.) The Escalera Hand Truck climbs one step in six seconds, so it takes around one minute for each standard flight of 10 stairs. If you need a stacker capability attached to your stairclimber, then have a look at the Escalera Powered stair climber and fork lift.

    3 Models Available, in 60”, 66" or 72" tall.

    What's Included ?

    1 Rewind Belt - The 12 ft. automatic rewinding safety straps on the Escalera Stairclimbing Handtrucks work the same way as a seat belt in a car. They can be mounted at different heights on the hand truck and can easily be used to secure the heaviest of loads. The automatic rewinding safety straps are lightweight, and self-contained. Because they rewind into the side frame when they are not in use, you will never have loose straps dangling down by your feet. A simple to use thumb-style lock secures the strap for tightening.
    Sealed Gel-Cell Battery - will not spill and can be laid on its side
    Automatic battery charger - Includes clamps that can be attached directly to battery terminals, and a male/female plug that can be left permanently on the battery for easier and faster charging.

    Optional  Accessories for Escalera Hand Truck
    (Also have a  look at the Accessories Tab above for images and videos of the available accessories)

    • Extented  Toeplate  -  The default toeplate measures  4" deep x 24" across. The extended toeplate hooks on top of the existing toeplate (easy on/off) and extends the depth and width. Available in 2 sizes: 12" deep x 28" across or 12" deep x 32"across.
    • Big Wheel Attachment  - Hooks on to the back of your hand truck (easy on/off), allows you to roll over rough terrain with the Big Wheel Attachment. This removable accessory is perfect for moving heavy loads through gravel, grass, thick shag carpet, light snow, and even on flat smooth surfaces. The 10 inch pneumatic tires bear much of the weight of the load as you navigate on four wheels instead of two.
    • Extra Rewind Strap -  Every Escalera Stairclimbing Handtruck ships with one automatic rewinding safety strap included as standard. Additional straps are optional. *Please note 3rd extra rewind strap option is only available with the MS-1-72 models.
    • Crossgrip Handle  -  Adds on an ergonomic cross handle that goes across the back of your hand truck, it attaches to the standard loop handles. Makes using the hand truck much easier.
    • Retractable Load Support - Use the Retractable Load Support (RLS-1) when you need to roll heavy loads long distances. The caster legs fold up conveniently along the side frame when they are not in use. An easy-to-use foot-operated latch releases the caster legs and a locking arm secures the legs in the open position for safe and easy operation.
    • Upgraded Battery -  The standard Escalera battery is an 18H while the upgraded one in a 33AH. The upgraded battery which will give you almost double the use time per charge.  Many of our customers want to know how long the battery will last. While this is really dependent on many factors, such as weight, temperature... Generally speaking, it will last for 100-150 steps with the standard battery, and 200-300 with the upgraded battery. 
    • Spare Battery - We also have a spare battery option, where you can order a standard or upgraded batery. Please Note: If you select this option, make sure that both batteries are the same, i.e. either standard or upgraded, or else you will have a problem with the battery fittings.
    • Barrel Attachment -  Use the removable Barrel Attachment for moving drums and cylinders. This concave bracket prevents the load from rolling side to side and helps to secure the load to the Escalera hand truck for safe and easy deliveries.
    • Height Adjustable Toeplate - Designed for machines that have legs on them such as vending machines. This accessory will allow you to adjust the height of the toeplate be able to sit directly under the load. (When you order the adjustable toeplate it will come in addition to the standard toeplate)
    • Swivel Caster Attachment - Designed to allow you to easily roll the hand truck on its back. Ideal for sliding the hand truck in and out of your truck.  Not to be confused with the Retractable Load Support)
    • Step Detection System - Designed as an extra safety precaution to work with the Staircat hand trucks. It indicates to the operator when the hand truck is in the correct position to ascend or descend the steps. Simply activate the system with your foot by pressing on the release lever on each detector on both sides. The Detector will indicate the edge of very step by giving you a strong resistance which you will feel.
    • Slate Attachment - A removable attachment designed to help you easily and safely move pool table slates. The slates goes directly on to the attachment and then you simply tighten the knobs to secure the load in place and you're good to go! You can also easily remove it when it is not needed.
    • 12V In-Vehicle Charger  -  Allows you to charge up your Escalera while on the go from your vehicles power.
    • 14 ft. Extension Strap - Connects to the existing belt, adding on an additional 14 feet of length, for those extra big loads.
    • Portable Steps - Available in a variety of heights, this will allow you to easily bring your Escalera hand truck and its load in and out of your vehicle.

    great for the value, easy quick hookup for bigger wheels and the wider plate made it easy to maneuver on stair landings. Two straps are the way to go also.

    Excellent shipping. Came securely pallatized. Delivered on schedule. Glad I got the fold out back wheels.

    Advantages: Easy to use. I use it to move pinball machines and it makes stairs so much easier. Do practice empty before using it. Going down stairs take a little more practice than going up.

    Disadvantages: Wish it was a bit lighter in weight, but it is constructed to handle 1200 lbs, so you can't expect it to be lightly constructed.

    This is an amazing piece of gear we had been using a regular hand truck to move 300lb copiers up stairs. Now we can do this with 2 men instead of 3 and the 2nd one is really only there to help avoid bumping into walls.

    Advantages: The lifting power is excellent and requires less manpower. The seat belt style straps are easier to use than the ratchet straps we used to use.

    Disadvantages: The charging pigtail needs some sort of retainer to Tuck it up out of the way when the hand truck is being used.

    We borrowed a similar unit from another plumber to try it out before purchasing ours. After using it one time the decision to purchase was a quick one. This has been a very good investment that should have been made a long time ago.

    Advantages: This makes removing old water heaters an easy one man job.

    Disadvantages: It is heavier than a standard cart.

    Climbs stairs nicely. Takes a bit of practice to get angles correct(learning curve)

    Advantages: Holds heavy loads, climbs stairs, no cord needed

    Disadvantages: Battery charging system is not well integrated, sort of an "add on" . Handtruck itself is quite heavy.

    I just received this product,I moved two 100 gallon water heaters by myself,they were 20 yrs old so they were heavy

    Advantages: This product is very easy for one man to handle,that is why I bought this product,it came on time and the shipper was very friendly

    Disadvantages: I don’t see any disadvantages at this point in time

    I have to admit for a small business the cost was biggest factor I never bought one. BUT it’s one of the better purchases I have made. I don’t have to worry about hiring more men just to move one price of equipment. Not to mention saving myself from all that back pain.

    Advantages: The ease of use of the machine and. Attachments

    Disadvantages: I wish I would have bought the one with the lifting forks

    I'm really satisfied with Escalera, it does the job as it should. Sturdy, powerfull and not to loud. Quality of finishing should be little higher considering the price ( for example rubber protectors easily fall off but that's not a big deal and can be fixed easily ). Otherwise everything is great.

    Advantages: It is difficult to maneuver with the load in a small space

    Disadvantages: Long delivery time

    I have been using motorized dollies since 1979, three different designs. Escalera is by far the best.

    Advantages: Lightweight, easy to use, durable and dependable, makes delivery a one man job. More than pays for itself.

    I'd like to start off by saying it's well built I like the escalara, But there is definitely a learning curve I do arcade machines that are top heavy you still need two people, I also do machines like pinball machines and slot machines one person can do that fine.

    Definitely would recommend the crossbar on top and at least one extra strap, Speaking of the straps they are like seatbelts style definitely need to be ratchet style for something that is heavy that would be a lot better design.

    Advantages: Plenty of power works great not so great and top heavy items tough to balance on the stairs, Of course the best part is my back does not hurt.

    Disadvantages: Seatbelt straps need to be some type of ratchet style, Expensive is a disadvantage also tons of add ons that cost lots of money another disadvantage,

    This is a great product for lifting heavy loads up and down stairs. I use this to lift 400-700lbs boilers and it does it with no sweat. Recommend getting the big wheels if you go across different terrain, makes it 10x easier.

    Advantages: Lifting heavy loads with a single person


    Disadvantages: None

    The shipment came as promised. When you first get the unit you can see the pride the have for the equipment in the way they packed the equipment. The company is an outstanding company. They make sure there will be no damage in shipment. The unit came as expected. The accessory wheels were an easy add-on.

    Advantages: On the first job this unit Paid for itself by saving labor and hard wood floor damages that would have occurred doing it the old-fashioned way. I highly recommend it in the HVAC and Plumbing field for use.

    Disadvantages: There have been no disadvantages yet.

    We purchased the Stair Power climber to move appliances in San Francisco most of the elevators in these buildings are over 100 years old so we were having to do it all by hand carrying it up and down the staircases.
    This purchase has made life 100 times easier.
    We got the extended tow plate, big wheel attachment, upgraded battery, swivel caster attachment and an extra extension strap. We were able to not only move appliances but other large extremely difficult and bulky items.

    Advantages: Advantages are we were able to customize our order!!! It’s not just sitting in a warehouse it was made just for us. Batteries both came fully charged. Packaging was in excellent condition, delivery driver was prompt and communicative.
    Follow up email from head office

    Disadvantages: We’ve had this product going on two weeks now.
    The only disadvantage we have had is that it does require two people to lift in and out of our moving trucks because of its weight.
    Other then that we’re 100% satisfied

    The unit itself is a solid piece of equipment. I was told I should order the taller model for better leverage which I would advise against because it will try and throw you down the stairs if your load is heavy.

    It was everything you said it was and we are so thrilled with it. We have two 100 lb Turtles, Mrytle and Monja that live upstairs in the Winter, so now we can bring them down with the Hand cart!!!!!!!

    Advantages: Do not have to lift and carry our Turtles up and down the stairs, we can give them a ride on the cart.

    Disadvantages: None!!!!!!!

    very nice machine. easy for one person to use.

    Advantages: Allows us to move copiers, without the possibility of injury to my employees

    Disadvantages: Not really a disadvantage, but I would recommend the edge sensor if only one person is using the climber.

    We got this Escalara hand truck for getting kegs and spent grain up from a small brewery located about 3 1/2' below grade level. I'm 66 and was the first to use it. I had to get 10 half-barrels (about 130 lbs each) up for a pickup. I got them all up and in position in 27 minutes, with hardly any effort. This is an amazing piece of equipment!

    This thing is amazing. I just got it the other day and I used it on a 75 water heater replacement. Up and down the stairs was a breeze.

    Advantages: Definitely saves your back!!! this thing crawled up and down the stairs with no problems what so ever. This thing will save your back and shoulders!!!

    Disadvantages: The unit itself is a little heavy, just need to figure out the best way to load it up in the truck.

    Best electric appliance hand truck in the market so far. Our moving company ( Rescue Moving Services ) just purchased this great appliance hand truck and we have been used it to move appliances, office cabinets, furniture and more. We really recommend this hand truck to everyone it worth every penny.:)

    Advantages: you can use it to move upstairs and downstairs and long walks using the 4 wheels attachment.

    Disadvantages: the strap won't be long enough to tight a refrigerator but you can add an extra small extension to make it work not a big deal.

    Advantages: Lightweight for a handtruck with a battery and electric motor in it.

    Well build and can be completely disassembled and all parts are replaceable.

    Many add on scan be purchased for whatever you need.

    Turns two man jobs in to a one man job.

    Works great just as advertised. Ive used other brands before and this does work as well as the others

    Advantages: All the extra handles, easy charging.

    Disadvantages: It leans forward (toward the tongue) this is a problem on carpet as it tries to fall forward. I also think it could use a brake for the wheels to keep ti from rolling away on uneven surfaces

    My company has grown over the last year requiring new strategy to be faster and more profitable. Installing water heaters, boilers, and furnaces with the majority
    being in basements can be challenging with a standard appliance cart. This led me to order the escalera staircat, which after comparing informational videos and reviews I believe is the best on the market

    Advantages: Sturdy frame, detachable pnuematic wheels make navigating to stairs a breeze detachable large lifting plate is great for boilers and furnaces, detachable barrel braces work great for water heaters. self contained, self retracting straps are handy and neat. Options for building to make specific to each users needs.

    Disadvantages: Long lead time for delivery after placing order. In all fairness, customer service was good about keeping me informed on the delivery status. The 4-5 week wait is acceptable if made clearer when placing an order.

    Great Lift. We do large Viking refrigerators and large 48" wide ranges and this is very helpful in getting this product into the house.

    Advantages: Easy operation and very dependable. Battery life is great as well.

    Disadvantages: Have had issues with the chain staining the carpet. Our guys should have been more careful as well.

    Product works as described. Well packaged and easy to get ready for use.

    Advantages: Well constructed, strong electric motor, lots of nice add ons and features

    Disadvantages: Caution when the center of gravity shifts from the wheels to the lifting feet as it will pull you and the load in the direction of down the stairs. This force can be significant and catch you off guard, especially with heavy loads.

    So far so good

    Advantages: The product does what it claims

    Disadvantages: The cart is a little heavier and bulkier than I anticipated, but still much lighter than other ones like this that I have used.

    Purchased this product because we deliver home appliances in the foothill area. All homes have stairs in our area, from one to thirty or forty. Appliances today can be extremely heavy, especially refrigerators. My delivery crew can now load the unit and easily deliver into a customers home.

    Advantages: This unit is compact enough that it works well on narrower applications. The larger wheel attachment now makes it a lot easier to move across gravel and unlevel ground.

    Disadvantages: At this point, we have not found any disadvantages to the unit, however, we have only had it for one week.

    Works effortlessly, a lot of power for a little unit

    Advantages: Regular size hand truck that is a work horse and doesn't way a ton, easy to use. Recommend the bottom extension plate and wheel kit. These options are a must.

    Disadvantages: Battery charger connection could use some improvement but that is it.

    I recently renewed my hot water heater it was long over due for a changing. It was half full of sediment & weighed about twice as much as it should have. The Escalera staircat made the job of getting it up the stairs from the basement very easy & nobody got hurt. A fine piece of equipment. Keep up the good work !!

    Advantages: A handy piece of equipment , I am sure I will use it many more times. I will recommend it to my friends.

    Disadvantages: none

    Been wanting to purchase a stair climbing hand truck for some time for water heater installations. It works great, saves time and keep my employees back injuries from occurring.

    Although we have had the unit only a few days it has already been put to use for the intended purpose and has made the task much less labor intensive. With recently installed water softeners on the buildings air conditioning system we would normally be manually transporting 60 lb. bags of salt up a flight of stairs and distributing at these units. The purchase of the MS-60 including the big wheel and cross handle attachments has significantly reduced the labor factor and burden that the task would place on staff.

    Advantages: Safety, reduced labor and increased production.

    Disadvantages: None at this time.

    I am a plumber andI found the Escalera stair climber very easy to use and a big help for my business. I have used other types of electric hand trucks but the Staircat is is the best choice and easiest to use.

    Advantages: Light weight one person operation ,saves on labor.

    Disadvantages: Haven't found anything

    I've known about this product for quite a while but at the time I couldn't fit it into the budget. If I would have known it was as useful as it is, I would have changed my priorities! I'm a cabinet maker, so the use of this product may not be of the norm, but trying to move cabinets up narrow residential stairwells is quite challenging and takes up to 6 people. Now all I need is two people and the Escalera! Now the challenge of moving cabinetry upstairs is not, for the most part, impossible. And I can make more of my cabinets in one piece instead of knock down and rebuild. Also the worry of damage has decreased immensely. There's a lot to be said for piece of mind. Thank you so much!

    Advantages: For me, my business runs smoother with the Escalera, less chance of injury, damage and my planning and fabrication is more streamlined.

    Disadvantages: Once again, for me, there is NO downside, win/win all the way.

    Just uncartoned this cart- haven't got it out in the field yet, but did some drills with it in our shop- I think this stairclimber will be a valuable part of our tool arsenal.

    Advantages: lighter weight than comparable models i researched-

    Good service at time of placing order. Called later the same day to upgrade hand cart selection to 1200 lb model and was nervous that they wouldn't be shipping the correct item. Hal got it RIGHT! My helper and I removed 3 different boilers approx. 600 lbs each before noon today. What a back and time saver!

    Advantages: powerful,big wheel attachment goes on and off quickly and easily, light weight easy to maneuver between lifts.

    Disadvantages: none so far

    Ours came in today, haven't had the chance to try it yet. Looked it all over and it is very well made, very good construction. Quick shipping and packed very tight, no slipping. Have got a lot of heavy moving coming up and can't wait to give it a whirl. Wife is gonna take it before I get the chance. Think she is very excited in trying it before I get to.

    The delivery was great, the Escalera Stair Climber Hand Truck works great and staff are especially happy with the magnum cross-grip handle upgrade.
    5
    Very well built and all the extra accessories I purchased make it all the more worth the price. Took a few trips with a load to get used to weight shift when the feet first contact the step, but gets easier to use every time.

    Works great every contractor should have this hand truck!
    5
    Great piece of equipment, I now have my appliance delivery guys working on their own, instead of needing 2 guys per delivery. Paid for itself in less than a month!

    Worth its weight in gold,
    Enough said!

    I bought the Escalera after seeing it demonstrated at Pinball Expo 2014 in Chicago. I have a small collection of pinball machines and unfortunately, I have to keep then upstairs in my home. The stairclimber worked perfectly going up the stairs and the battery lasted long enough for me and friends to move around 5 machines with no notice of battery drain.

    Valuable tool... Will save backs and workers comp claims!
    5
    The features of the Escalera stair climbers are fantastic. Easy to use, good capacity, and the cell battery lasted for about 3-4 hours of continuous use. Got if fairly quickly and the service was excellent.
    5
    I am an independent hvac contractor that works primarily alone. this is an invaluable tool for removing boilers and furnaces from basements. I would highly recommend this product to anyone in the business.

    The best investment we ever made. This is our second because we wore the first one out. They work great,!! and take a lickin and keep on tickin.
    5
    This is our second Staircat. We bought the first one seven years ago and are using it at our branch location. They are a back saver for our employees. I don't know how we ever got along without one.
    5
    To me, this product was not about saving time or having smaller crews. This was a life-safety issue; end of story. We are delighted that the Escalera's quality and performance have equalled our concern for the health and well-being of our installers and service technicians.
    5
    We have been using our Escalera Staircat Powered Stair Climber at least two to three times a week ever since we recieved it. We think that a strap from the bottom of the step plate to the top handle would hold our uneven size boxes from moving along with the three horizontal straps we already have.We also would like to see a better power knob which would work better with the palm of your hand and not tire your fingers. Otherwise we are very pleased with how the machine works and saves on back problems.
    PS We use the stair climber for a round trip of 38 steps at a time, and it still feels like it has allot of battery life in it after that.
    5
    The online ordering process was easy and also had no problem reaching Handtrucks2go by phone to ask a question about delivery. We've received our stair climber and it is working great for moving our copiers up and down the stairs. Only regret is, that I only found out recently about these automatic stair climber hand trucks. Thanks
