Folding Hand Cart
A flat folding hand cart is a lighter, yet capable, version of a standard hand truck. They
typically offer the carrying capacity of a medium duty hand truck.
The main advantages of these carts is that they are lighter and fold thinner than most luggage
carts, making for very easy storage. A folding luggage cart easily carries computers, file boxes, presentation
materials, coolers, small furniture and much more.
Another nice feature on folding hand carts is the one touch, push button that opens and closes the
cart. Along with the lightweight frames that are usually constructed of steel or aluminum, you can open these hand
carts with one hand. These are not heavy duty movers and are not meant for most commercial applications such as
warehouses or professional movers, however for medium duty, residential use, or a musicians gear folding cart, you
can't beat them.
Wesco Folding Hand Cart
Wesco has been manufacturing hand trucks and other material handling devices since 1948. They

the trunk of a car. Depending on the capacity needed, they are made of steel and aluminum with tough, shock
absorbing rubber wheels. It has elastic straps to secure cargo. For heavier loads though, you would need a
higher capacity hand truck equipped with 2" or 3" nylon straps. Wesco also makes a Mini Mover which is
perfect for travelers because it is small enough when folded to fit in overhead airline compartments.

The all-aluminum frame Mighty Max Mover is lightweight and very strong. It is
perfect for effortlessly moving medium loads making them easy to handle. Perfect for salespeople, campus
environments and travelers. It has a convenient telescoping handle which retracts into the frame. The
retractable wheels and fold-up toe plate allow you to store the folded Mighty Max just about anywhere.

the wheels and toe plate spring open--great for when your hands are full. The 200 lb. capacity, 7" solid rubber
tires and elastic cords are great for small to medium size loads. When not in use the collapsed size is 19.5" W x
