Benefits of a hand truck

The biggest benefit of using a hand truck is that is lowers the risk of injury. The job of lifting heavy objects can strain the back and the shoulders. Plus, walking while carrying a heavy load in hand can obstruct the vision and this can cause trips or falls which may mean serious injury. A hand truck rolls on its wheels and possesses a lower suspension which makes it easy to roll while the operator is able to clearly view where he or she is headed.
The second benefit of using a hand truck is that is lessens the risk of damage. With manual lifting, there is always a chance that the item may fall and get damaged while injuring the person lifting it. A hand cart lessens this risk and thus lessens the cost that is incurred due to damaged goods.
