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 Folding Handle model of the powered Liftkar. This model is well suited for shorter, heavy loads that require the handtruck to be at an extreme angle for proper balance. 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 HD Power Liftkar that has a 725 lb. Capacity or here to see all of our battery powered stairclimbing 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."W x 61" unfolded/39.5" folded Weight: 42.2 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).

I 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!

Isabelle DesChenes Ottawa, MontanaThis 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, ArkansasThis 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, MassachusettsI love the Multi Mover Hand Truck for Inflatables! I’ve needed something like this for years. It handles a 700-pound wood stove with ease, and navigating stairs is much simpler, even with the added weight of the hand truck. Highly recommended!
Joseph Solimine Bensalem, PennsylvaniaGot my item right away! Communication through the process was great!
Bryan Warfel Conestoga, PennsylvaniaI 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!

ALBERT ROBINSON Reno , NevadaI 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.

Thomas Fahey Milton, MassachusettsWhat 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.

Gary Bauch Houston, TexasThis 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 YorkThe 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 , FloridaAs 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, FloridaThe 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, AlabamaI 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, PennsylvaniaThese Schaff twin piano dollies work perfectly. They are of lightweight, sturdy construction with good sized casters for easy rolling, even on carpet.

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, IllinoisWe purchased the Escalera Staircat Powered Stair Climber Hand Truck to move appliances in San Francisco most of the elevators in these buildings are over 100 years old so we were having to do it all by hand carrying it up and down the staircases. This purchase has made life 100 times easier. We got the extended tow plate, big wheel attachment, upgraded battery, swivel caster attachment and an extra extension strap. We were able to not only move appliances but other large extremely difficult and bulky items.
Andrew Hawkins San Francisco , CaliforniaThis 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 MexicoThis Hand Winch Forklift Truck is awesome. It has some great features that are a definite upgrade from our older model.

Vivian Silverman Santa Monica, CaliforniaGreat customer service. The Electric Wheelbarrow arrived with a damaged tube but they quickly replaced it. The assembly went pretty smoothly.

Kendra Perkins Gypsum, ColoradoI 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, FloridaEasy to order, and quick shipping as well. These Replacement Casters were an exact replacement for the original and work great.
