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

We 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. 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!
Jay Clancey Ishpeming, MichiganI 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, IowaThe hotel luggage platform cart was purchased for the residents who live in a 13th floor condominium building. Residents praised its ease of maneuverability and functionality.
We went and purchased a second one it was so good!
The 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, FloridaAfter consulting customer service, I purchased the replacement clips for an older Harper Hand Truck. They sturdy clips worked perfectly; much to my delight.
Margaret Thomas Milford, ConnecticutMagliner is the absolute best Hand Truck ever made. Custom built option is the only way to go. These are the Maserati of all hand trucks, These are Highly recommended from my personal collection and professional collection.
Howard Hill Santa Maria, AlabamaFantastic product. Invaluable tool for moving pianos. The wheels and extended lip set this product significantly above the others we looked at.
Trini Beaumont, AlabamaThis 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, PennsylvaniaThe 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, GeorgiaBest customizable hand truck hands down. I got the custom plate, stair climbers, 10 in wheels, and 68 inch handle. Couldn’t be happier; well worth the price.
Michael Sachse, TexasI 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, AlabamaWe have had this same Lectro-Truck for 25 years. This new model 6512E is like on steroids. Very pleased with our purchase. If you have to carry heavy items up and down stairs. This unit will do it for you. Love our Lectro-Truck.
Jimmy North Charlottesville, VirginiaGreat product and excellent service, used many and this is hands down the best!
Chuck Maynard Glasgow, MontanaVery 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 exactly the replacement part I was looking for my hand truck / dolly. I could not find this item anywhere else. I am happy with my purchase.
Richard Graham Spokane, WashingtonI 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 Service, Fast speedy processing and shipping. Received item as described. This deserves a 5-star for me.
Dillon O'Connor Candia, New HampshireI can't believe how easy the Anderson Dolly makes moving appliances. We have 150 apartments that are very small. No more tilting and trying not to hit the walls and doors. One person moving made simple and fast.
Todd Hardy Sterling Heights, MichiganI 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 CarolinaOunces 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, PennsylvaniaI 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, PennsylvaniaI’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, MissouriI 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, OklahomaAll we do is install water heaters and the Liftkar has proven itself well beyond our expectation. Keep up the good work.
Curtis Witherspoon Water Heater Services, LLC Woodbridge, VirginiaGreat 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 , MichiganHandtrucks2GO has great customer service. Order also arrived quickly.
Marcia Griffin Durham, North CarolinaI installed this grand dolly on a Model L Steinway and my customer loves it. Relatively easy one man job with the right tools. I definitely recommend this dolly and Handtrucks2go!
Gary Fralin Powhatan , VirginiaTo be able to design your own hand truck exactly what you need creates a product that is best for all situations.
Randy Binghamton, New YorkExcellent product. I will definitely buy again. The 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, OregonThis 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!

Dave Louisville, KentuckyEasy to order and arrived quickly - the parts were just what I needed.

John Dellay Kingston, New YorkJust what I needed. The front wheels on my Kartmaster 500 wore out after many years of service.These replacements are the same quality as the original ones. Great service from Handtrucks2Go and quick shipping. Thanks.
Cliff Derbins Mandevile, LouisianaI'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, MassachusettsI have to say the customer service was amazing, to say the least. 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. The manufacturer got the part out and is on their way. They not only sent one set of the missing parts they sent two sets making sure they had the bases covered. Just WOW! Thank you For having great customer service! I will be buying more Hand Trucks as the need arises.
Kevin Hobbs Turner, OregonWe borrowed the Escalera Staircat Powered Stair Climber Hand Truck 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.
Donald Mow Osceola, IndianaAs 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, FloridaPurchase process and the products were “spot on” PERFECT.
James Fish Madison, AlabamaWe found Handtrucks2go easily on the web and we entered an order for the parts we needed and they appeared at out door faster than we expected. Overall a great experience!
Stuart Neale St. Louis, MissouriI liked the quick service and the website made it so easy to know which replacement wheel would fit my hand truck.
Paul Skelskey Hartford, ConnecticutThe service is excellent! They made sure that I get the right item and even went an extra mile to ensure that it arrives on time. I will definitely be back for more.
Kevin Webb Dartmouth , MaineThis 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, WashingtonThis 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, ConnecticutWhat a wonderful hand truck. I can't believe it took me so long before purchasing one. I used to lug heavy boxes around. Those days are over. It's sturdy, can hold hundreds of pounds of merchandise, and saved my back.
Mendy Zeiger Monsey, New YorkWe 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 YorkThanks on the great deal on the Magliner Beer Keg Lifter is a great tool for the brewery. It's a real back saver when loading kegs 3 high.
Todd Tisdell Santa Clarita, CaliforniaI purchased a Powermate Stair Crawler. Your customer service was very helpful, helping me work through your website. I would highly recommend your site to my sister agent for purchasing items.
Mitch Clancy Buffalo, New YorkHandtrucks2go is a great company to deal with. The Steprider Stairclimbing Hand Truck I ordered arrived on time and works great!!!
Eric Kachlik Portland, OregonThese Escalera Motorized Stair Climbers With Forklift are the best you could find in today's market. My buddy has had one for 37 years and I would always use his and this year I decided to get my own here at Handtrucks2go. I guarantee that they will last forever.
Anthony Lane Belton , MissouriThe 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 , FloridaI love my Escalera Stair Cat. I used in an elementary school with no elevator makes very short work of pulling a dolly loaded with cases of paper to the third floor. The forklift attachment works great for loading heavy furniture up onto a stage. I also used to require 4 men tto move a heavy wooden desk downstairs but now it can be accomplished by one person with NO back pain!
Bob Wiley St.Louis, MissouriHandtrucks2GO's service and expertise was unbelievable! H highly recommend them.
Mordy Weiss Lakewood, New JerseyThis is the second set of Twin Dollies I have purchased from Handtrucks2go. These are used to move 800lb hydraulic elevator tank/ pump assemblies/ tall elevator controllers, and misc elevator crates in and out of buildings. These are very good at stabilizing heavy loads, steering around corners, into elevators, and onto trucks. I plan to buy another set as needed.
Joel Ward Albuquerque, New MexicoBest 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, CaliforniaGreat 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 purchased the Jansen Grand Piano Dolly for my 5'2" Cable Nelson Baby Grand. I am very happy with it. I was worried about assembly, but it turned out to be easy. I'm glad I purchased the one with brakes as one day I will have hardwood floors again. I'm absolutely happy.
Robert Parker Oceanside, CaliforniaWow, this company really delivered, even though I needed to import the NOBLELIFT Manual Straddle Stacker into Canada, the purchase process was easy.
Richard Belle River, MichiganVery pleased with my purchase as well as the service. Getting ready to order a second unit.
Tom Vigneulle Wilsonville, AlabamaThe ladder hoist is ideal, very convenient for me. The motor is perfect for the indoor use. Assembly was very easy with clear instructions. Would recommend others this product. Thanks for the quick delivery!
Jeffrey Correia New Bedford , MassachusettsExcellent! This Grand Piano Dolly is strong, easy to put together and rolls beautifully without scratching the floor. The design is excellent as well as you can easily play the piano while it is on the dolly. It was also delivered in time and just what we needed.

Gary Finkle North Haven, ConnecticutBest purchase in a long time! Handtrucks2go's Powered Appliance Hand Truck has exceeded my expectations. Wish I would of made this purchase years ago. We use this to place the concrete pads we use for generator installations. Their description is easy to follow and understandable, ships fast and most importantly affordable. Defintely a must have item!
Michael R. Piripavel Nazareth, PennsylvaniaCustomer service is amazing. They were more than helpful from the time I placed my call to the time I placed my order.

I would highly recommend Handtrucks2GO for all your handtruck needs!
David Crystal River, FloridaThis 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, TexasEasy to assemble. Easy to adjust. Solid frame. Well built. Will probably order another.
Steve Johansson Hainesport, New JerseyThis 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, Pennsylvania"The Chair carts arrived at our wedding hall yesterday, we were able to assemble them very easily as you said."
The 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 MexicoPerfect match to replace my damaged Hand Truck tire & wheel! The search tool on Handtrucks2GO website was very user-friendly and proved spot-on accurate.

William Graves Norman, OklahomaI'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. Was given a courtesy call after purchase and my product arrived in a very quick and timely manner. Definitely recommend
Kristopher Tulsa, OklahomaThis 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 YorkI 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, CaliforniaThe products most especially their hand trucks were easy to order, quick to ship and most importantly for me easy to buold via the website. Product is of great quality and finish. These worked just as I expected them to be. Would highly recommend their line of products!
Raul Vizcaino Hialeah, FloridaRichard O. Billings, Montana

John Long Island City, New YorkHandtrucks2GO is a pleasure to deal with. Very responsive to my inquiries.
Peter Reilly Estero, FloridaThe 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 MexicoMy Escalera was well worth the wait, it has saved my back already, and I've only had it a couple of weeks. Best investment I have ever made.
Matt Lang Edmore, Michigan
