Specifications
Features
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.)
Where is the Lectro-Truck made?
The Lectro Truck is made in Oostburg, WI. USA

This 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 Escalera Motorized Stair Climber with Forklift Hand Truck is a beast! In addition to easily lifting up to 1,200 lbs up stairs, its best feature is the "forklift," which allows you to lift loads onto the bed of a truck effortlessly.
Kenneth Stoppa Chicago, 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, VirginiaJust what I asked for great product. Handtrucks2go is defintely a quality company, would purchase again!
Daniel Tokas Green Mountain, North CarolinaThe customer service rep was extremely helpful and intelligent. Defintely did not regret buying from this website. The products we ordered also arrived in a timely manner. We will continue to order from Handtrucks2go in the future!!
Mary Ann Humek Fort Worth, TexasI purchased two WH09 tires from HandTrucks2Go, and when one had an issue, their customer service was exceptional. They quickly resolved the problem by sending a replacement tire without hassle. I’m truly impressed with their excellent customer care and communication. You’ve gained a customer for life!
Robert Kammerzell Glen Burnie, MarylandWhat 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, IllinoisI 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 CarolinaGreat product and excellent service, used many and this is hands down the best!
Chuck Maynard Glasgow, MontanaOunces 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.

Michael R. Piripavel Nazareth, 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!

ALBERT ROBINSON Reno , NevadaWe got this Escalera 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.

Allen Stroud Philadelphia, MississippiOnce 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, OhioGreat customer service and quick shipping. I highly recommend buying from Handtrucks2go!
Kurt Steder Bellingham, WashingtonI own numerous apartment buildings and laundromats. I have no clue how we have survived as long as we have without this Escalera Motorized Stair Climber! Seriously, big 1000 lb washing machines are no problem, getting them over a threshold is easy as pie now or taking a damn appliance up 4 flights of stairs... Not a problem anymore. Seriously, changed our lives and saved my back.
Joseph Jepsen Salt Lake City, UtahThis was our 5th and 6th Magliner Hand Trucks from Handtrucks2go. There is nothing better or even close, on the market
Josh Lott Salina, KansasI’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, MissouriRichard O. Billings, Montana

Jimmie Hall Asheville, North CarolinaI 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.

Tom Clark Louisville, KentuckyMoving 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.

Rich G. Rohnert Park, CaliforniaI 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.

Cliff Derbins Mandevile, LouisianaGreat service, explained what I needed and got exactly what I was looking for. In an easy and timely manner.
Chace Riley Saranac Lake, New YorkBest deal on the market. Love the free shipping. Very little to put together. Definitely would recommend to anyone who needs a hand truck that is convertible. The Magliner senior does everything I need it to to get the job done. It is worth it's weight in gold. It is just compact enough to fit in my suv.
Corey Bell Lakeland, FloridaI 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, ArizonaGreat 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, PennsylvaniaFantastic product. Invaluable tool for moving pianos. The wheels and extended lip set this product significantly above the others we looked at.
Trini Beaumont, AlabamaPerfect 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 HampshireOrder was worth the wait! Handtrucks2GO's replacement wheels are even better than the original manufacturer equipment!

Scott Mulherin Lowell, ArkansasI lost a clip for my hand truck that holds the handle on. I searched everywhere to no avail and finally got a number for Handtrucks2Go. They sent two right out and they came fast and are perfect. It saved me from having to purchase a new cart!
Gail Scriver Sioux Falls, South DakotaThis 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.
Esther Baker Union Springs, New YorkSuper 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, FloridaThe Escalera Stair Climber is an awesome hand truck. Works 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.
Herve Brechoteau Plano, TexasThis replacement wheel/caster is exactly what we needed to repair our hand truck. Easy and quick ordering process and fast delivery. Thank you!
Jay Troutman Hunker, PennsylvaniaGreat customer service! Great value in purchase. We will definitely purchase from Handtrucks2go again! We are a 250,000 sq ft. tennis club. This Powermate Motorized Stair Climbing Hand Truck has already paid for itself!
Gary Sowles Southfield , MichiganI 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, CaliforniaThe guy on the other side of the phone line was very helpful and got me the correct stuff. The price was right and he was very friendly. customer service was outstanding!!!
Steve Baumgarten McHenry, IllinoisI 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 , MissouriThe 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, GeorgiaThe Escalera Stair Climber Hand Truck is awesome. I got mine delivered last week and used it twice already this week. You can tell they are built very heavy duty and built to last. I'm very impressed!
Randy King Hudsonville, MichiganMy experience with HandTrucks2Go was excellent, from their customer service to the delivery! I have to say that it was great to use them as a vendor.
Isela Maria Ft. Lauderdale, FloridaI 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'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 CarolinaThe 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 MexicoLove our PowerPallet convertor kit. The unit went on our manual jack easily and fairly quickly. The driver delivered 18 stops before the battery started showing yellow.
Randy Martin - Dutch Valley Foods Allentown, PennsylvaniaAs 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!
