Specifications
Have a look at the images above for all the available 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.)

Handtrucks2GO is a pleasure to deal with. Very responsive to my inquiries.
Peter Reilly Estero, FloridaMoving heavy stuff way easier with Powermate Powered Stair Climber Truck-M Series. Handtrucks2go helped greatly during order process and changed to different model that would ship in 2-3 days. Very happy no longer moving safe with a pipe and brute strength. Worth every penny.
Jimmy Hurd Queen Creek, ArizonaPerfect match to replace my damaged Hand Truck tire & wheel! The search tool on Handtrucks2GO website was very user-friendly and proved spot-on accurate.
Andre Stouis New London, New HampshireOur 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, OregonWe have an oil company in Long Island New York. The 1260E Hand Truck has been a wonderful addition to our business. It helps us to move 800 and 1000 lb boilers up and down stairs with ease.
Jim Mcburnie Cutchogue, New YorkThis 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, CaliforniaOverall it’s a great product. The BP-Liberator Hand Truck that I custom built definitely helps a lot for going up and down stairs. It’s also lighter than my other big dollies. It’s fairly expensive, but it’s also very good quality. I will defintely buy from here again.
Tyson Hanes Springfield, TennesseeThis wheel replacement was exactly the part I needed after over 20 years of use. The customer service department was quick to respond and helpful in determining the correct replacement. Great job all around!

Mine was a small purchase, a clip for my hand truck, but absolutely necessary for it to securely function. I felt like I had struck gold when I found the Handtrucks2go website and it had what I needed. The package was sent right away and I received it within the week. 5 stars for sure!

Jeffrey Correia New Bedford , 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, KentuckyI 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, AlabamaI 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, IowaI have a beverage delivery route, and durability is important since I typically haul 4 to 5 cases on a single hand truck which weigh about 35lbs each. I was looking at folding hand trucks since my delivery truck is usually packed with cases leaving me with not much room for extras. My research lead me to this Magliner Folding Compact Hand Truck, and although this was by far one of the most expensive, it's also most durable. It took me a while to pull the trigger due to price, but now that I have it, I wish I wouldn't have hesitated.
Richard Alaniz SAN MARCOS, CaliforniaWe are very happy with the unit. We have a very small warehouse and this EKKO Fully-Electric Stacker along with our pallet jack gives us the flexibility we need.
Byron Brown Rancho Cucamonga, CaliforniaI thought, what a great idea to have hand trucks with wheels turned sideways, Then I found the perfect product at HandTrucks2Go and had to get one!
William Solem Rochester, MinnesotaI purchased the lifting feet for my escalera staircat. The ordering process was fast and easy. The shipping time was reasonable and installation was simple. They fit perfectly and are of very high quality. The experience overall was above what I expected.
Jeff Crowson Springfield , MissouriI searched high and low for those hand truck handle adjustment clips. I did a Google search using the model number, and HandTrucks2Go popped up— the rest is history. I ordered the clips, and they were delivered within a week. Overall, a very good shopping experience.
Gene Hill Jr Detroit, MichiganExcellent product. I will definitely buy again. The replacement hand truck tires were delivered as advertised. My hand truck needed an upgrade. These tires made my equipment safer and reliable. It handles some heavy duty furniture and other items with ease.
Elizabeth Cocchi Amity, OregonI'm very satisfied with the order. Item came on time and it's really high quality. I got exactly what I paid for.
Frank Jones Boston, MassachusettsAs an HVAC contractor, our teams often transport large condensers and support materials over a variety of soft and uneven surfaces. Traditional hand-trucks were both difficult to use, and potentially dangerous. We looked for and alternative to the traditional hand-truck and found the MultiMover XT. Although it is designed for transporting inflatables, its size and design are well suited for our purposes. Thank you Handtrucks2go for introducing this great product!
Bruce Whiteside Clearwater, FloridaI loved the customizability of the "Design Your OwnBP-Liberator Hand Truck" option, and the HandTruck arrived within a month. The quality was every bit as good as the reviews from professional movers that I saw. I am very pleased and would recommend this to anyone who is going to be doing a lot of moving, either in a professional or self-service capacity.
Philip Buckler El Paso, TexasThe Adjustable Digital Piano Dolly is an excellent product with great service! It was easy to order and arrived exactly as described. Customer service over the phone was extremely helpful in selecting the perfect product.
Michael Waltenberger Decatur, IllinoisJansen Piano Dolley (90") HandTrucks2go people were very understanding and professional every time I called. Great customer service matters when supply chain issues emerge.
Alana Matthews Lansdowne, VirginiaThe transaction was an overall super experience. The set of replacement wheels came just in time for my daughter and her husband to move into their newly purchased home!!
Daniel Jacksonville, FloridaThe Escalera Motorized Stair Climber has been life saver for my moving team, we move safes, piano and other heavy teams from and to basements and this device saves time, money and amount of team I need to send out. Thank you Handtrucks2go for giving the best price and fast shipping.
Victor Chin Machesney Park, IllinoisI purchased my first Lectro Truck in 1988. The steel version called old orange. A great machine for my plumbing and heating business. One man can safely move a 900 pound boiler upstairs out of the house and on to the truck,where it used to take 3 or 4 men.
I felt it was time to upgrade to the 6512E.We still have old orange for use around the shop and the new one now goes to the jobs. I have made and saved alot of money using this product and most important no one was ever hurt moving these large heavy items. Keep up the good work on these quality hand trucks! Thank you Handtrucks2GO.
-Rolf Rastadt owner of Beacon Mechanical.
Rolf Rastadt Beacon, New YorkI 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 , MontanaWhat a great way to build your own Custom Magliner Hand Truck. Built mine with stair sliders, never flat tires and a easy grip handle. Simple interface and easy to follow instructions simply the best website. Super happy with the product and the quality! Will never have to buy another hand truck from a different website again.
Curtis Herchenbach Gurnee, IllinoisVery easy to find the parts I needed on the website and then very fast shipping. Our hand truck is back up and running again!
Jim Leakey, AlabamaHandtrucks2GO has great customer service. Order also arrived quickly.
Marcia Griffin Durham, North CarolinaI've ordered from here twice and both times the customer service has been wonderful. Great customer service is hard to come by, but this team is amazing!
Allison Fincher Elizabeth City, North CarolinaAfter a long search, Handtrucks2Go provided the replacement wheels I needed. HandTrucks2Go staff was courteous and professional. I ordered some similar wheels from Amazon, but had to return them because they were the wrong size even though I provided the model number with my order. I also went to several big box storers to no avail.Thanks for great service!
David Jackson Chicago, IllinoisEveryone at our company likes this Wesco Stairking Stair Climber especially now that we have the platform and tire attachments. Excellent product!
Ryan Kuepper Slinger, WisconsinLove 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, TennesseeThe Fork Hand Truck for Mini Skids is a great product, and the ordering process was easy. Customer service was excellent to work with!
Brian Newton Brownstown, MichiganGreat idea and a great product. Purchased the PowerPallet for my son who had surgery for a triple hernia. Without this great product he could no longer keep his job as a pickup and delivery driver. Now he no longer hurts to do his job. Thanks to all of you.
Gerald Courvelle Sunset, LouisianaI must tell you how favorably impressed I was with your courteous, professional and proficient service today. I had just spent one and one-half hours on the telephone trying to locate the part I needed - the 5-inch caster wheel for my hand-truck cart. I was sent to a telephone number, another company, then another telephone number and another company...and so it continued.
Finally, I reached the gentlemen at your company who assisted me - so very expertly. I am not known for rendering accolades to anyone, but in this case the gentleman who assisted me is worthy of high recognition. Your company is exceptionally fortunate to have him as one of your employees.
Kenneth Liechty Fleming Island, FloridaI 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 CarolinaThe Build Your Own Magliner Hand Truck is a great product that was built to my specifications and delivered quickly. Very happy and will be a returning customer.
Art Muller Eglin, FloridaThis was the perfect replacement part for the Costco hand truck that I had purchased many years ago. I couldn't locate the right part at any of a number of local hardware stores or online venues but I was able to find it here at Handtrucks2go. Thanks!
Eric Edenholm Bainbridge Island, WashingtonMy residents LOVE their new Shopping Carts. We are a beach community and these are perfect for the environment. They are a little larger than the previous metal ones but all residents have commented on how light they are. A very satisfied customer.
Debra Agamaite Clearwater, Florida"The Chair carts arrived at our wedding hall yesterday, we were able to assemble them very easily as you said."
We finally found the exact battery charger we needed from HandTrucks2Go after months of searching. Their website has a very easy ordering process, which I really appreciated.
Cathy Addy San Mateo, CaliforniaThe shipment came as promised. When you first get the Escalera Hand Truck 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.
Carl Bell Kingston, New YorkThe salesperson was very knowledgeable and efficient. The ordering experience went smoothly. I needed to add a second replacement battery the following week and the salesperson pulled up my previous order and completed the transaction very quickly. I would highly recommend Handtrucks2go.
William Levittown, New YorkOunces 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, PennsylvaniaThe Magliner (RDT) Rapid Delivery Truck was a fantastic purchase especially with the keg attachment. Don't normally review, but need to say how awesome customer service is at Handtrucks2go.
Aaron Albuquerque, New MexicoI 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 JerseyI 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 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, ArkansasMy order was quickly and efficiently processed. Customer service readily identified the required part.
Howard Lane Buckeye, ArizonaThe Powered Wheel Barrow is an amazing product, I certainly wish I’ve discovered this years ago. We live in Florida where the grass is thick and pushing a regular wheel barrow is like a workout. The PAW rolls through the thick St. Augustine grass with no problem. It works perfectly just as described in their website. It’s balanced and the hand controls are easy to use. I will surely be coming back for more!
Martin Thompson Osprey, FloridaThis product is sweet! I had made investment after researching and also seeing an older model in action the last couple of years, the tool has stood the test of many basement stairs and boiler removals.
Brett Flagg Granby, ConnecticutI think the Powermate Motorized Stair Climbing Hand Truck is an excellent product, delivery is very responsible. You can buy without worry. Excellent quality.
Alberto Sosa Lawrenceville, GeorgiaI have used Magliner Hand Trucks all my working life. They are simply the BEST!!! Fast shipping, and easy to put together makes this purchase a no brainer!!!
John Duggan Charleston, West VirginiaAs 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, TexasAbsolutely perfect service from start to finish! HandTrucks2Go was incredibly helpful in adjusting and finalizing the exact specs of my order with me.
