The Lectrotruck 1260E is the perfect choice for moving gun safes and boilers . With a 1500 lb. weight lift capacity, it is constructed from steel, and is affectionately known in the industry as “Old Orange". It has a shorter height than the 1268E for residential deliveries and is easier to maneuver around and into tight spaces.
Adjustable strap bars can easily be attached, moved and detached without the use of any tools. Each unit includes two strap bars and a battery charger. A female charging plug, located in the side of the battery box allows you to connect to a male plug on the battery charger. You can also connect directly to the terminals on the battery with alligator clips to charge the battery.

Have a look at the images above to see the optional accessories.
How long does the battery last?
We measure our battery life by the amount of steps that can be climbed with a fully charged battery. Typically with a well maintained battery that is fully charged you will get the approximate lifting capacity outlined below:
Can the Lectro Truck go off the back of a truck?
The Lectro Truck can be used in the place of a tail lift gate provided your truck isn't more than 41" from the ground to the bed of your truck. If you have more than 41" a small platform can be made to achieve the appropriate height.
How much weight will the Lectro Truck lift?
The maximum capacity:
• 1260E - 1,500 lbs.
• 1268E - 1,500 lbs.
Why do my wheels keep rolling towards the front of the step?
The wheels on the Lectro Truck will roll forward for two reasons. One reason might be that the step is too deep. When you go to raise the load up to the next step if the wheels are too far back on the step the inner frame will ride on the edge of the step and pull the Lectro Truck forward. To correct this problem you need to put a spacer such as a 2" x 4" at the back of the step to prevent the wheels from going too far back on the step. A second reason why your Lectro Truck might roll towards the front of the step is because the load that is on the Lectro Truck is too low and heavy. The way to correct this problem is by using the balance box accessory. This moves the weight up on the Lectro Truck to equally distribute the weight and balance the load better. A third reason your Lectro Truck wheels will roll towards the front of the step is because the step might be slanting forward. To correct this problem we now have wheel brakes that attach to the Lectro Truck wheel and prevent the wheels from rolling forward.
What if I need to rest in the middle of the step with a 1500 lb. load on my Lectro Truck?
With the inner/outer frame system such as the Lectro Truck you are able to let go of the handles once the wheels and the toe plate are positioned on the steps. Unlike other kinds of hand trucks you can remove your hands from the handles once the load is balanced on the steps.
What happens if my battery goes dead in the middle of my move?
If your battery should go dead in the middle of your move with the Lectro Truck balanced on the steps, you can get another battery or Portable Power Pack and change it in the middle of your move. The 5512E and 6512E comes with a Portable Power Pack. To change the Portable Power Pack just unplug the pack, unhook two side clips, pull it out of the frame and insert a new Portable Power Pack, (additional Portable Power Packs can be purchased.)

The Lectro Truck is made in Oostburg, WI. USA

Ordered a replacement battery for our stairclimber hand truck. Order was processed professionally and quickly and we received the item in a timely manner. Good work
Gary Finkle North Haven, ConnecticutThese Square Grand Piano Leg Dollies are fantastic! They make moving the piano so much easier. I recently had new floors installed and bought these to avoid a $600 bill from piano movers. They look great and roll smoothly!
Stephanie Orange, CaliforniaThis is the second convertible hand truck of this type I've purchased, the first of which I left at our cabin in New Hampshire. Up there I use it for hauling wood and boulders around. Down here I use if for transporting music gear and bags of garden soil.
Leonard Solomon Cambridge, MassachusettsI decided to order online for the first time and the site was user friendly. Shipping was prompt. The product well packaged and just as described.
Terry Tucker Glencoe, KentuckyWe always receive excellent service, and anytime their maybe a supply issue we get a call right away. We and our customers love the Escalera Hand Truck for the difficult heating equipment deliveries.
Deborah Romano East Longmeadow, MassachusettsOunces equals pounds, and pounds equals pain... That's all there is to know! The Powermate Powered Stair Climber M-Series, pound for pound, is by far the best purchase and investment I've made, not only for the company, but for the tough guys out there who think they can still pick things up like they used too. Work smarter not harder, its that simple.
This thing will pay for itself in labor hours and medical bills in no time!! The M-1 is the most universal powered hand truck on the market with more interchangeable options than you can ever imagine, plus the 40" reach for standard tailgate height!!
Its a no-brainer. I did plenty of research, and it took me a long time to pull the trigger on this, but I'm glad I did. And your back will be too.
Thomas J. Arnold Collingdale, PennsylvaniaDelivery time was very quick. Purchase cost was reasonable. Sales was very responsive. I highly recommend buying from Handtrucks2go!
Brian Mergener Slinger, WisconsinHandtrucks2GO is the only place I order my hand trucks from. From the great customer service to low prices, you can't go wrong with them! The Magliner Convertible Hand Trucks are versatile and I can use it for most jobs!
Leslie Allen Jacksonville, FloridaI’m very satisfied with my twin dolly movers, I especially like where you can lock one set of wheels from the swivel position since I’m a lot of times moving by my own self. Thanks again and I’ll be sure to pass your company’s name on to my friends.
Dale Hopkins High Ridge, MissouriThis is our 3rd hand truck we have purchased from Handtrucks2go.com. As our company continues to grow so does our need for more handtrucks.
Samantha Rougeux Hopewell Junction, New YorkThe Multi Mover Hand Truck has great construction; well built, well balanced and tough. Handles even the biggest loads with ease. Shipping and receiving were timely. Overall, a great deal...especially for my back!
Jay Carey Hobbs, New MexicoI searched alot for the right cart. We are a community handbell choir that travels and performs concerts. Our equipment is heavy and big cases for big bells and heavy tables. We needed something to hold the weight and for us to move efficiently and quickly. This Spartan Convertible Hand Truck fits the bill perfectly. Also love that it goes into a two wheel cart for our misc items we carry. Thank you for building a great product. Another one may be in our future.
Marilee Anderson Red Wing, MinnesotaI have had a power assist wheelbarrow from Handtrucks2go perhaps 5 or 6 years. An incredible assist for hawling most anything. Recently I damaged the transformer for recharging the batteries. A request for assistance from PAW was quickly answered and a new transformer was delivered at a reasonable price. I can assure you this company is trustworthy.
Robert Ellis Rockport, MassachusettsWe recently received our stackable table cart. It was very easy to assemble upon arrival and has been incredibly convenient for our clients to use when setting up and tearing down in our rental venue.
Teri Graves Troy, OhioExcellent customer service and pricing. Lightning fast shipping. The Power Drive and Lift Straddle Stacker is an excellent product, just as described, very happy. Highly recommend!

Beatriz Flounoy Asheville, North Carolina"I don't understand computers so thanks for the extra help you gave me in purchasing my hand truck. Thank you for your quick follow up and I of course appreciate your effort from the beginning to make sure all went well for me!"
Rich G. Rohnert Park, CaliforniaI ordered these dollies to be able to easily move our upright piano during a remodeling project in our home. They worked perfectly and allowed us to reposition the piano several times while the flooring work was being done. Highly recommended!
Gordon Stiers Brownsburg, IndianaI bought the Compact Fully-Electric Pallet Jack from Apollo Lifts to support our growth an take some of the work out of using manually pallet Jack's. It work much better than expected. It has cut my labor costs and gets truck loaded and unloaded faster. It was easy to assemble and once the battery was charged put to work right away.
Tom Clark Louisville, KentuckyI am a former UPS driver and have been looking for years for a comparable hand truck to what was issued to me as a driver. After a long search I found Harper. The Hand Truck I made using this website is better than what I was issued while working for UPS (due to some upgrades I added). I am very happy with my investment.
Timothy New Hope, PennsylvaniaThis is an awesome product. This has to be the best Manual Stair Climber Hand Truck that i have purchased. It is easy to use and makes transporting a breeze.
Kenneth Brooks El Paso, TexasThe company was careful that I didn’t order an incorrect size. I appreciated that. All parts and nuts and bolts were there with plain and simple instructions.
Richard Sapp Fruitland Park , FloridaWe had already purchased 6 of these Magliner Delivery Truck and love them. I definitely recommend these to anyone. Wish we had purchased them years ago.
Joanne Spangler Stuart, VirginiaThis Hand Winch Forklift Truck is awesome. It has some great features that are a definite upgrade from our older model.

I’ll definitely use HandTrucks2Go.com for all my future lift needs.
Craig Williamson Byron, GeorgiaAfter tirelessly searching for different replacement toeplates online, I was able to located this one. It fits perfectly on our Escalera. Many thanks to Hantrucks2go for making it easy!
Aaron Fineberg State College, PennsylvaniaWonderful Customizable Liberator Hand Truck, I was told about the quality of this by an employee who was adamant that we switch from cheap hand trucks to a higher cost but heavier duty and Handtrucks2go has provided me with just what I needed. The product shipped at the expected date, was easy to assemble, and works perfectly well. I am glad we did and we will purchase another 2 in the near future!
haskel@handtrucks2go.com Lillington, North CarolinaThe piano dolly fits perfectly. It is very well made and very useful for moving the instrument from one classroom to another. Delivery was quick and efficient. We will add another one soon!
Donna Moll Jackson, WisconsinThe Sandhopper Beach Wagon Cart was simply the greatest. We had it packed for the beach and it just rolled through the sand exactly the way it was described. We had so many people come up to us and ask where did we get it. Will surely be coming back here again, defintely recommending Handtrucks2go!
Toni Greves Hayward, CaliforniaThe sales process on-line was simple and intuitive, and the Lectro Truck-6512E I ordered was delivered on time. The tracking follow up was very helpful in planning for the utilization of the unit. Thank you HandTrucks2Go!
Robert Lloyd Orlando, FloridaI 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.
Gary Dailey Riverside, CaliforniaGreat customer service. The Electric Wheelbarrow arrived with a damaged tube but they quickly replaced it. The assembly went pretty smoothly. I used it once in 6 inches of snow and was amazed how effortless it was able to maneuver around it. I wouldn’t even attempted to push a normal wheelbarrow through that.
Joseph Casalena Bedford, PennsylvaniaHandtrucks2GO has great customer service. Order also arrived quickly.
Marcia Griffin Durham, North CarolinaI was delighted with my purchase and with the speed with which it arrived. The replacement parts fit perfectly and allowed us to use the handtruck safely. I very much appreciated the professionalism with which my order was taken and expedited. Thank you!
Isabelle DesChenes Ottawa, MontanaBest purchase we have made in 10 years. What took two men with a standard pallet jack to load a container truck now takes one with the new PowerPallet Truck.
Paul Strazzullo Healdsburg, CaliforniaI have purchased several of these units over the past year. Each have met our needs as we embrace a safe working environment for all of our employees.
Greg Carter Greensboro, North CarolinaLove this hand truck. It works well and makes it easy for one man to deliver refrigerators up stairs. We took a subzero 48" up 60 steps with no issue or strain. Love it!!!
James Hensley Lenoir City, TennesseeOur first Escalera Hand Truck lasted 30 years, so it was a no-brainer to purchase another one. The new model works great and operates much more smoothly, as expected. I highly recommend opting for the upgraded battery and large wheels.
Dan Healey Eugene, OregonGot exactly what I ordered in a timely fashion, would definitely order again.
Edward Newark, DelawareAs someone who frequently handles the logistics of moving heavy items, finding the right equipment can be hit or miss. However, the BP Liberator Hand Truck with a straight back frame has been a game-changer. What sets this dolly apart is its customizable design, allowing for a tailored experience that perfectly meets specific moving needs. Thank you, HandTrucks2Go!
Isai Lopez Beaumont, TexasI 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.
Todd Lindsey SGT Bluff, IowaThese Upright Piano Dollies work great! Keep asking myself "Why did you wait so long?" Everyone in our Family can move the piano easily, even my granddaughter!
Gary Pasco Durango, ColoradoAwesome product, fast shipping, and more affordable than competitors.
Jacob Shell Nashville, TennesseeThis is a great dolly for our baby grand. Assembly is a two-person job. It's not difficult, but you just need four hands at times. I have plenty of help to lift the piano onto the cart. The cart works great and looks good too. Highly recommended.
Dan K. Sharon, PennsylvaniaI ordered a piano dolly and it fits my piano here at school perfectly. When I called, the representative was very helpful and ensured the correct size of the dolly for my piano. The delivery did not take long at all. I am very pleased!!
Tisha Blasingame Hardesty, OklahomaExactly what I was looking for. Sent quickly at a reasonable price
Mark Goldstein Plantation, FloridaI bought this Escalera Staircat Hand Truck 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! Will defintely be coming back here to buy again.
Paul Merritt Carlisle, PennsylvaniaI was in need of a hand truck that was light weight and able to pick up 2 stacks of milk crates at the same time. I could not find anything finished that would work on Amazon, Uline, etc. I found Handstrucks2go on Google and saw that I could customize the hand truck for my needs. I was able to design one that had a wide base with really cool wheels. The finished product was appreciated by the staff that use it everyday. They keep asking why it took so long to get a hand truck that works. Thanks Handtrucks2go.
Todd Eanes Tucson, ArizonaWe purchased the 260019 Two Wheel Hand Winch Forklift Truck for a tight-space job on a US Navy carrier, and it was perfect for the task. The lift arrived quickly, and with a custom fixture, we completed the job safely and efficiently. It made a world of difference!
Michael Whitman Mayfield Hts., OhioThis was a repeat order. Design Your Own Hand Trucks from our previous orders arrived on time & in perfect condition. This order was no different. Absolutely would recommend Handtrucks2GO.

Aaron Albuquerque, New MexicoThis Escalera Hand Truck is very high quality, it's extremely useful for many different applications. I have used many different hand trucks and dollies for over 40 yrs - this is definitely the best by far!
David Moore Chillicothe, MissouriI was totally happy with my order, and the customer service was great. I couldn't have asked for more. I am so glad I found this company!!!!
Scott Mulherin Lowell, ArkansasI used this BP Liberator Snack Hand Truck for over five years with my previous employer. I custom-built my new hand truck to handle three stacks of product at 65.5” tall for my new distribution, and it works amazingly well.
Ronald Sloan Bigfork , MontanaI'm very satisfied with these Square Grand Piano Leg Dollies and the customer service of this company. Had issues ordering these specific wheels from different company and had absolutely none with this company.

Kristopher Tulsa, OklahomaPrompt service and easy online ordering. Item I ordered works perfectly and fits like a glove. I am very pleased with Handtrucks2go.
Richard Wilson Bradford, OhioWe purchased the Escalera Staircat Powered Stair Climber Hand Truck 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.
Andrew Hawkins San Francisco , CaliforniaVery happy with the purchase of the Wesco pedal lift stacker. Great lightweight and versatile pedal lift. Was priced right and the service was great.
Dan Burns Great Falls, MontanaThe Customized Harper Nylon Hand Truck is an excellent product! Thank you for manufacturing an excellent product that will help my business!
Arthur Koskinas Dedham, MassachusettsI was very pleased with how quickly I received my clips. I tend to lose them often, so I ordered extras this time. Thank you for the fast service!
Anthony McDonald Glassboro, New JerseyThe Powermate Powered Stair Climber Truck is a great product. We immediately moved two safes within a couple of days of receiving it and needless to say the process was much easier and more cost efficient. Very satisfied.
Karl Hawk Gainesville, GeorgiaThis Dolly is awesome. Very well made and very versatile. I bought it to use it at rvents but now I use it for just about anything I need to move around. Very satisfied with purchase.
Bob Mastrodonato Fullerton, CaliforniaI 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 Escalera Motorized Stair Climber along with 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.
Alan Hueytown, AlabamaGreat Service, Fast speedy processing and shipping. Received item as described. This deserves a 5-star for me.
Dillon O'Connor Candia, New HampshireEveryone is jealous of my Sandhopper Beach Wagon. Great company, need to buy some add ons. Love this
Terese Simmons Marshfield, MassachusettsI was so fortunate to find HandTrucks2GO online. We needed new caster wheels for dolly but couldn’t find in our town. I decided to call because needed in less than a week. The salesman was so nice and personable. He made sure the caster wheels got here on time. This was during the shelter in place due to covid19. Most deliveries were taking longer than usual but HandTrucks2GO cares about their customers and customer service! Thank you HandTrucks2GO!!!!!
Gayle Steen Oxford, MississippiSuper high quality product, perfect for our use of our piano in chorus and on-stage at the high school. Inventory was exact and instructions were easy to follow. Patient customer care and immediate shipping. These folks are tops!
James Clements Port Orange, FloridaLove our Glaro Bellman Cart. Feels ultra sturdy and looks real high class. Delay in shipping but customer service was great at getting factory to push cart for sooner delivery date.
ALBERT ROBINSON Reno , NevadaFantastic product. Invaluable tool for moving pianos. The wheels and extended lip set this product significantly above the others we looked at.
Trini Beaumont, AlabamaI sent an email to inquire about a replacement part for my hand truck and received a quick reply with the part number and pricing. I placed the order, and the part arrived in just a few days. Great service!
