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:
• 4512E - 600 lbs.
• 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.)

These Schaff twin piano dollies work perfectly. They are of lightweight, sturdy construction with good sized casters for easy rolling, even on carpet.
Jack Schwarz Bowling Green, KentuckyOur team really likes these Pallet Jacks and their ease of use. Highly recommend. Friendly and knowledgeable rep and fast shipping/delivery.
Christyn Bailey Fort Worth, TexasOunces 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 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.

Chace Riley Saranac Lake, New YorkThe Escalera Staircat Powered Stair Climber Hand Truck is an amazing piece of gear we had been using a regular hand truck to move 300lb copiers up stairs.

Paul Strazzullo Healdsburg, CaliforniaWe 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.

UPS miss handled our package when we received it the box was torn open I took a chance that all the parts were going to be there will they were not, I contacted customer service and they got right on it, they told me that they would be reaching out to the manufacturer to get the missing parts on the way.

Brian Mergener Slinger, WisconsinGreat 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, PennsylvaniaThis piano dolly is amazing. I can now move my expensive piano smoothly and safely, regardless of the cracks in the side walks. It is so easy to turn, steady, and push. It handles the rough terrain so easily. This company has great customer service. They always responded to my correspondence. When a wheel broke off, they replaced the whole dolly at no cost to us. I would highly recommend this dolly as a worthy investment.

Samantha Rougeux Hopewell Junction, New YorkOnce Escalera Motorized Stair Climber 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!
Joseph Ledwinka Columbus, Ohio"The Chair carts arrived at our wedding hall yesterday, we were able to assemble them very easily as you said."
This Lift Truck from WESCO is an item I have always wanted since I saw one at my workplace. When I received it, I was even more happy than I had been when I ordered it. The workmanship is excellent! I am 83 and not as strong as I once was. Also, there is no one to help me do the things I bought this tool to do. Handtrucks2go has made this any easy purchase for me. Many thanks!
