The LIFTKAR SAL Motorized Stair Climber is primarily a highly manoeuvrable hand truck featuring modular construction and a unit weight of under 45 lbs. Once you place the snap-on battery on your truck, your simple hand truck suddenly becomes a versatile battery powered stair climber. The motor makes going up and down stairs a pleasure. And thanks to the wide pneumatic or puncture-proof wheels, the LIFTKAR SAL is as manoeuvrable as any standard hand truck and can be used used outdoors on rougher surfaces as well.
You are now looking at the Ergo Handle model of the powered Liftkar which is the most popular choice, as its 3 gripping points on the handle provide excellent balance for a variety of loads. This is the light duty SAL Liftkar that has a capacity from 240 to 375 pounds, depending on the model you choose. Perfect for those kegs of beer or for moving lighter appliances. Click here for the Heavy Duty Liftkar that has a 725 lb. Capacity or here to see all of our motorized stair climbing hand trucks. Available with a choice of 7 nose plates and pneumatic or microcellular (flat free) tires. Scroll down below for images and to pick your options from the dropdown menu.
Important Note: Price does not include noseplate, make sure to select the noselate you want in the options.
• Comes complete with battery and wall charger.
• Dimensions: 18.5"W x 63"H Weight: 42.7 lbs
• 200-300 steps ascending with fully charged battery
• 400-600 steps descending on fully charged battery
• optional accessories, spare battery, vehicle charger, keg hook, cargo strap (see the accessories tab for pictures)
With the SAL Series climbing stairs has been reduced to the minimum: the LIFTKAR pulls itself up onto the step above and lifts to only the necessary step height. During descent the motor acts like a brake to bring the load down smoothly. It is also ideal for winding staircases and landings where space is restricted.
A lubricated mechanical clutch provides the unit with optimum protection against impact to the support wheels.
Additional electronic protection prevents damage due to overloading.
This unit has two climbing speeds (slow and fast - up to 48 steps per minute) and is available in various different models with different load capacities and an extensive range of accessories.
While climbing, SAL hand trucks do not move any further than the height of each step. This makes high speeds possible at low power consumption. The extremely low weight of the truck itself is also a great advantage here. Without the quick-change battery unit the hand truck is only 6 kg heavier than a normal hand truck. The LIFTKAR SAL is basically a conventional aluminium hand truck that is able to climb stairs without physical effort.
The intelligent control system enables the load to be transported at two speeds at the touch of a button. An intelligent sensor system even allows the hand truck to find its own way down. You simply let the LIFTKAR SAL roll to the edge of the step. It then lowers itself smoothly onto the next step without you having to press anything. That means you can concentrate 100% on what you are doing.
The LIFTKAR SAL is ideal for rapid delivery and transport, regardless of the application.
• Extremely lightweight for a stairclimber: only 16 kg plus 4 kg for the quick-change battery unit
• Very fast: up to 48 steps/minute
• Two speed settings: slow/fast
• Intelligent lifting unit starts automatically when going down stairs
• Hinged toe plate mounting - fixed version also available
• Features sliding clutch and electronic overload protection
• Manoeuvrable on the level like a normal hand truck
• Even negotiates spiral staircases and landings where space is restricted
• Large comfortable pneumatic/microcellular flat free tires, dia. 260 x 85 mm
• Non-stop operation around the clock with a second battery unit and the in-transit charger (battery capacity is directly related to the load transported and the condition of the battery - average performance is 200 to 300 steps upwards, and at least twice as many downwards).

Prompt service and easy online ordering. Item I ordered works perfectly and fits like a glove. I am very pleased with Handtrucks2go.
Richard Wilson Bradford, OhioHandtrucks2go 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 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 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 Customized Harper Nylon Hand Truck is an excellent product! Thank you for manufacturing an excellent product that will help my business!
Arthur Koskinas Dedham, MassachusettsThis 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, WashingtonVery innovative! Once I spoke with a salesperson, I was sold on buying the Scoop Dolly for widows. I hope it will hold up to the construction work I have ahead.
Elmer Buzzard Carrollton, VirginiaThis 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 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, CaliforniaThe Fork Hand Truck for Mini Skids is a great product, and the ordering process was easy. Customer service was excellent to work with!
Brian Newton Brownstown, MichiganThank goodness for Handtrucks2GO. I own a Kartmaster HD500. Pretty expensive cart but the casters were completely worn. No one else had the part and now I'm back in business.
Thomas Fahey Milton, MassachusettsI sent an email to inquire about a replacement part for my hand truck and received a quick reply with the part number and pricing. I placed the order, and the part arrived in just a few days. Great service!
Tom King Rosebud, TexasThese items were exactly what I needed to once again have a fully functional hand truck. Thank you for providing what you advertised.
Arthur McFarland Homosassa, FloridaI 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, CaliforniaVery 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, MontanaThis 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, CaliforniaBest 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, TexasWe 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, VirginiaThe 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!
What 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 was totally happy with my order, and the customer service was great. I couldn't have asked for more. I am so glad I found this company!!!!
Scott Mulherin Lowell, ArkansasMy 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, FloridaHandTrucks2Go's team is very knowledgeable, and the delivery was prompt. The replacement part was a perfect fit. Thanks!
Mark Moran Alsip, IllinoisI 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 YorkI 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 DakotaI 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 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 , MichiganExactly what I was looking for. Sent quickly at a reasonable price
Mark Goldstein Plantation, FloridaGot my item right away! Communication through the process was great!
Bryan Warfel Conestoga, PennsylvaniaThis Customizable Beer Hand Truck is amazing. Huge upgrade from our very basic hand truck. Keg lock has already saved us from disaster in the first week
Sean Ricci East Haven, ConnecticutThe 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 JerseyAll 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, VirginiaThe Escalera Stair Climber Hand Truck from Handtrucks2go is undoubtedly the best electric appliance hand truck in the market so far.

Randy King Hudsonville, MichiganI was delighted with my purchase and with the speed with which it arrived. The replacement parts fit perfectly and allowed us to use the handtruck safely. I very much appreciated the professionalism with which my order was taken and expedited. Thank you!
Isabelle DesChenes Ottawa, MontanaWe 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, IndianaLive 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, AlabamaThe 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 , FloridaWe 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, Missouri"When I needed 2 motorized stair climber hand trucks for my freight company, I looked around the web and found that Handtrucks2go offered the best selection and prices. When I spoke to them on the phone they were very knowledgeable, able to answer all my questions and helped me find the right equipment that fit my specific needs and budget. I highly recommend them and they will definitely be my first stop next time I need any kind of moving equipment."
Jim Hill - Hilllogistics.com Little Rock, ArkansasI liked the quick service and the website made it so easy to know which replacement wheel would fit my hand truck.
Paul Skelskey Hartford, ConnecticutWe 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 YorkWe 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, CaliforniaThe piano dolly fits perfectly. It is very well made and very useful for moving the instrument from one classroom to another. Delivery was quick and efficient. We will add another one soon!
Donna Moll Jackson, Wisconsin"The Chair carts arrived at our wedding hall yesterday, we were able to assemble them very easily as you said."
Excellent product. I will definitely buy again. The replacement hand truck 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, OregonI’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, MissouriGreat 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, PennsylvaniaGreat 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 CarolinaAs someone who frequently handles the logistics of moving heavy items, finding the right equipment can be hit or miss. However, the BP Liberator Hand Truck with a straight back frame has been a game-changer. What sets this dolly apart is its customizable design, allowing for a tailored experience that perfectly meets specific moving needs. Thank you, HandTrucks2Go!
Isai Lopez Beaumont, TexasBest 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, PennsylvaniaI 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 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 was having trouble finding the exact replacement casters to fit my hand truck but I easily found it here at Handtrucks2go.No problems with removal of old wheels and on time delivery was a big plus. Great customer service representative that helped me with getting the right replacement.
John Dellay Kingston, New YorkThe piano dolly wheels were perfect for safely moving our Baldwin Hamilton upright piano between classrooms and the gym. They arrived quickly, were affordable, and worked so well that the school agreed to keep the piano for students to enjoy during lessons and concerts. HandTrucks2Go is a great company with reliable products, an easy ordering process, and fast delivery!
Emily Nyman Derby, VermontThis 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, MissouriOverall it’s a great product. The BP-Liberator Hand Truck that I custom built definitely helps a lot for going up and down stairs. It’s also lighter than my other big dollies. It’s fairly expensive, but it’s also very good quality. I will defintely buy from here again.
Tyson Hanes Springfield, TennesseeGot exactly what I ordered in a timely fashion, would definitely order again.
Edward Newark, DelawareWonderful 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!
haskel@handtrucks2go.com Lillington, 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, PennsylvaniaThe 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, WisconsinHandtrucks2GO is the only place I order my hand trucks from. From the great customer service to low prices, you can't go wrong with them! The Magliner Convertible Hand Trucks are versatile and I can use it for most jobs!
Leslie Allen Jacksonville, FloridaI really love this toilet hand truck. I’ve been a plumber for 30 years, and after recently having spine surgery, it has completely eliminated the need for heavy lifting.
Casey Haufler Santa Rosa, CaliforniaCustomer Service was great to work with. I received my order quickly and it was exactly what I needed.

Jerry Houston, TexasThe 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 HampshireI 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.
