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.)

The Lectro Truck is made in Oostburg, WI. USA

Robert Lloyd Orlando, FloridaThis Hand Winch Forklift Truck is awesome. It has some great features that are a definite upgrade from our older model. The website was super easy to use, with clear and detailed descriptions. We ordered the lift, and it was delivered in less than two days. I’ll definitely use HandTrucks2Go.com for all my future lift needs.
Craig Williamson Byron, GeorgiaYour products are great. I recently bent a caster wheel but it was my fault and so I ordered a new one. The service was fast and easy. It is great quality and I couldn’t be happier. Thank you.
David Tores Millersville , MarylandOrdering from HandTrucks2Go's website was quick and easy. I received an email receipt promptly, and my order for Replacement Casters arrived quickly.
Stanley Walker Crawfordsville , IndianaWhat 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.

Scott Mulherin Lowell, ArkansasThis 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 MexicoHandtrucks2GO is a pleasure to deal with. Very responsive to my inquiries.
Peter Reilly Estero, FloridaHandtrucks2go made my purchase fast and easy, I will be shopping with them again!
Robert Kogen Highland Park, IllinoisThis 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, MassachusettsGreat 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 , MichiganThe 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!
Everyone at our company likes this Wesco Stairking Stair Climber especially now that we have the platform and tire attachments. Excellent product!
Ryan Kuepper Slinger, WisconsinExtremely satisfied with my Customized Hand Truck. I have used Dollies daily for work for years, the dolly from Handtrucks2go is by far the most durable and because of the customization the most useful one I’ve ever had. Highly recommended.
Carlos Fairlawn, OhioJust 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.

Gary Cox Russells Point, OhioMy 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, FloridaThe Grand Piano Dolly was very high quality and worked just as advertised. It came a few days earlier than expected. Customer service provided me with an overall great experience, entertained and answered all my questions and Handtrucks2go made sure I ordered the correct dolly.Without a doubt Hanctrucks2go is one of the best online seller currently out there.
Walt Sayre Keene, New HampshireWhat 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’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, MissouriWe 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, OhioI 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, MinnesotaThanks for the great products and pricing. Everything showed up as ordered in a timely manner!
Chris Greeley, ColoradoThis 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!
John Dunda Hot Springs, ArkansasVery pleased with my purchase as well as the service. Getting ready to order a second unit.

Dennis Greunke Madison, WisconsinWe 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., OhioGreat 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.
Thomas J. Arnold Collingdale, PennsylvaniaI 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, Florida"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, CaliforniaCustomer service is amazing. They were more than helpful from the time I placed my call to the time I placed my order. My replacement caster was shipped and arrived in a very timely manner ans was exactly what I needed. It took less than 2 minutes to replace. I would highly recommend Handtrucks2GO for all your handtruck needs!
David Crystal River, FloridaThese 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, KentuckyI 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, MichiganEasy ordering with great customer service. Product is as expected and even better than expected. I would by from again for the great service, quality and easy ordering.

Oscar Roberta Columbia, South CarolinaProduct arrived as advertised. Shipping was better than expected. Price was competitive.

Steve Baumgarten McHenry, IllinoisHandtrucks2GO has great customer service. Order also arrived quickly.
Marcia Griffin Durham, North CarolinaI 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 YorkEasy to assemble. Easy to adjust. Solid frame. Well built. Will probably order another.
Steve Johansson Hainesport, New JerseyQuick shipping, very sturdy, and useful. I would definitely order more Toilet Transporter Cart from this store again.
Jaliza Wyche Los Angeles , 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, PennsylvaniaOur 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, TexasI 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 Finkle North Haven, ConnecticutThe quality of the refrigerator/freezer cover exceeded my expectations. It’s an excellent product!
Brian Dietz Plymouth, IndianaAs a plumbing contractor with a fully equipped machine shop, I was going to make one myself but decided to spend the $ and not look back. Extremely happy I did, the Escalera Hand Trucks are worth the time and $ I would have had to put into it. It is well designed and has grease zerks and flat free tires. Spend the money,you will not regret it.
Michael Collyer Chicago, IllinoisLive in Ontario Canada, not Alabama, but provinces are not available. 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!

Randy Martin - Dutch Valley Foods Allentown, PennsylvaniaThese 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.

Thank you.
We 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, VirginiaBest 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, CaliforniaOnce 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, OhioThe 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, California
