I 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 , VirginiaThe Anderson Vending Machine and Appliance Dolly was the best purchase to move our vending machines! We didn’t have to empty our machines of any products and the machine empty weighs 600lbs with the extra product load it was nearly 640lbs. It only took myself and my wife to move the machine, she steered while I pushed. The price we would’ve paid for professional movers was the same price we paid for the product. It paid for itself in one move. The location was so impressed how easy it was to use they asked us if we could move their 500lb safe and they would pay us for our time and use of equipment.
James Gonzalez Palm Coast, FloridaAppreciate that Handtrucks2GO will deliver to Canada. Part was delivered on time and does the trick.
Jan Bate Peterborough, New YorkHandtrucks2GO has great customer service. Order also arrived quickly.
Marcia Griffin Durham, North CarolinaEveryone is jealous of my Sandhopper Beach Wagon. Great company, need to buy some add ons. Love this
Terese Simmons Marshfield, MassachusettsI 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, CaliforniaThis Motirized Stair Climber from Escalera is a game changer! If your crews have to carry heavy components up stairs, consider this product. They won’t dread the work and you don’t have to worry about anyone getting injured!
Monique Swyer Savannah, GeorgiaI have been using motorized dollies since 1979, three different designs. Escalera is by far the best. Tahnk you Handtrucks2GO for offering them at reasonable prices.
David Quiring Liberal, Kansasthe only place I could find to replace my Kartmaster wheels. Ordering and delivery was quick & efficient!
Jerry Houston, 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, MarylandThe Pro-Paw power wheelbarrow was easy to put together and I operate out of a wheel chair! It's a real life saver, I feel like I got my feet back again.
Gerald Corradino Whittier, AlabamaThe 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, MichiganGreat customer service and quick shipping. I highly recommend buying from Handtrucks2go!
Kurt Steder Bellingham, WashingtonWe 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, CaliforniaThese 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 , MissouriMy 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, MichiganGreat value for a Custom Hand Truck! This is the way to go if you want to add your own features but are on a budget. The service is superior and the step by step process is easy to follow.
Oscar Roberta Columbia, South CarolinaExcellent! 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.
Kendra Perkins Gypsum, ColoradoI 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. It work much better than expected. It has cut my labor costs and gets truck loaded and unloaded faster. It was easy to assemble and once the battery was charged put to work right away.
Tom Clark Louisville, KentuckyOunces 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, PennsylvaniaEasy to assemble. Easy to adjust. Solid frame. Well built. Will probably order another.
Steve Johansson Hainesport, New JerseyBest 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, CaliforniaI 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, AlabamaThis 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, PennsylvaniaMoving 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, ArizonaThe service was exceptional when I ordered on line and I got a follow-up Email that ultimately helped me easily complete the purchase. The products arrived quickly and went together with no trouble at all. We will be ordering 2 more next month.
Gary Mulford Egg Harbor Twp., New JerseyGreat 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 , MichiganLive 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!
Leone Toronto, AlabamaI bought the Steel Davit Crane. The quality is excellent. Super fast shipping. No issues and exactly as described. Customer Service was a step above as well! I received a call when the order was being filled to update me on an additional option and to inform me on the shipment. Thank you!
Chris Ingstrum Fort Worth, 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, PennsylvaniaThis 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!
David Moore Chillicothe, MissouriI was so fortunate to find HandTrucks2GO online. We needed new caster wheels for dolly but couldn’t find in our town. I decided to call because needed in less than a week. The salesman was so nice and personable. He made sure the caster wheels got here on time. This was during the shelter in place due to covid19. Most deliveries were taking longer than usual but HandTrucks2GO cares about their customers and customer service! Thank you HandTrucks2GO!!!!!
Gayle Steen Oxford, MississippiHandtrucks2go is a great company to deal with. The Steprider Stairclimbing Hand Truck I ordered arrived on time and works great!!!
Eric Kachlik Portland, OregonVery happy with the purchase of the Wesco pedal lift stacker. Great lightweight and versatile pedal lift. Was priced right and the service was great.
Dan Burns Great Falls, MontanaI 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 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, MichiganWe 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, CaliforniaThis 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!
Gary Bauch Houston, TexasThe 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, FloridaThe Escalera Stair Climber Hand Truck from Handtrucks2go is undoubtedly the best electric appliance hand truck in the market so far. Our moving company (Rescue Moving Services) just purchased this great appliance hand truck in bulk and we have been using it to move appliances, office cabinets, furniture and more ever since. These were shipped quickly and arrived in good shape and quality. We really recommend Handtrucks2go to everyone defintely it's worth every penny!
Daniel Martinez Lewisville, TexasLove 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, PennsylvaniaFantastic product. Invaluable tool for moving pianos. The wheels and extended lip set this product significantly above the others we looked at.
Trini Beaumont, AlabamaI really needed to replace a defective caster on my hand truck. Thankfully, I found HandTrucks2Go. They made it easy to order and provided fast delivery. Now I’m wheeling and dealing again!
John Peloso Buford, GeorgiaThis was a repeat order. Design Your Own Hand Trucks from our previous orders arrived on time & in perfect condition. This order was no different. Absolutely would recommend Handtrucks2GO.
John Long Island City, New YorkI seriously wish I had bought these years ago. It's made moving mattresses around our showroom so much easier. The Mattress Cart is very steady - even kings can be a one person operation. Also very glad we went with the bigger wheels.
Nate Bartlett Charlevoix, MichiganGreat service and speedy delivery! I had borrowed my father’s dolly and lost its clip and we needed it as soon as possible. Weare extremely grateful to have been able to find Handtrucks2go for the quick and cheap delivery!
Amanda Jones Oshawa, West VirginiaMy 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, FloridaAfter 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, IllinoisOnce 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 Customized Harper Nylon Hand Truck is an excellent product! Thank you for manufacturing an excellent product that will help my business!
Arthur Koskinas Dedham, MassachusettsVery efficient, fast and free shipping. I called to make sure the replacement part I ordered was for my cart and I could talk to somebody in few minutes. I highly recommend. Keep up the good work.
Michele Cipriani Weehawken, New JerseyOrdering was easy. Just picked up the phone and called. I told customer service what model hand truck I had and what part I needed. It arrived on my door step 3 days later. It took less than 1 min to install new part. The whole process was fast and painless.
Gary Cox Russells Point, OhioThis 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, GeorgiaI 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, ArizonaBest 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, TexasOur 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, TexasOrdering 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 , IndianaThis 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, ArkansasWe 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, OhioThis 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, CaliforniaWe 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 YorkThe products are easy to find on the site, the checkout process is simple, and the installation was straightforward. Quick delivery. Very happy!
Kristi Krocka Beaver Dam, WisconsinSuper 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, FloridaGreat 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, PennsylvaniaI'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 CarolinaI ordered a replacement wheel for my hand truck. The product delivered was reasonably priced, & was delivered promptly, The product was an exact replacement for the original part.
William Graves Norman, OklahomaI’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 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 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 , MissouriOrder was worth the wait! Handtrucks2GO's replacement wheels are even better than the original manufacturer equipment!

Gail Scriver Sioux Falls, South DakotaThe 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.
