Anyone in the material handling business is likely familiar with the Magliner hand cart. It’s a workhorse of the industry. But what happens when you need to move something heavier and over longer distances? Enter the Magliner powered hand cart. With multiple attachments that quickly change out, it offers the utility you need to get different jobs done. Here are a few situations where the powered dolly will be useful for your business.

Moving Large Items Over Long Distances

A heavy duty hand truck offers a higher weight limit than the classic Magliner hand truck but is mostly useful over short distances. When you and your employees need to move large items long distances, such as fridges or furniture, across a warehouse to a delivery truck, turn to the Magliner powered hand truck. It’s perfect for eliminating the need for team lifts and moving heavy, cumbersome items with ease. The powered movement means your employees won’t waste any energy.

Raising Event Tents

Raising an event tent can be a major hassle for event organizers. With the Magliner motorized hand truck, it’s far easier to manage. The tent pole attachment easily pushes up the center poles of event tents, making the task a breeze rather than a challenge. The quick-attach accessories can be switched out, and other items, like speakers for an event stage, can be moved into place.

Moving Gas Cylinders

Medical supply companies often transport oxygen and other gas cylinders. While the powered stair climbing dolly might be best suited for delivering the cylinders, the motorized hand truck is perfect for moving the cylinders from the warehouse and onto the delivery truck. If the delivery truck has a powered liftgate, the powered hand truck can also be used for curbside deliveries or to deliver to hospitals and other medical centers.


Positioning Inflatable Rentals

The same attachment that holds gas cylinders is also ideal for moving inflatable rentals into position. Whether it’s a bouncy house or an inflatable slide for a community event, the Magliner motorized hand truck can easily handle otherwise heavy inflatables. An optional retractable ratchet strap kit can help keep the deflated rental items in place as you wheel them into place using the variable throttle. As with the medical supplies, a delivery truck with a powered lift gate is needed due to the weight of the powered hand truck.

Adjusting Trailers

One of the unique attachments for the Magliner motorized hand truck is the trailer hitch. The powered hand truck can move trailers of up to 3,500 pounds, making the trailer much easier to get into position on hard, level surfaces. It includes five standard 2” receivers.
