Comments about Wesco Maxi Mover Folding Handtruck:
I use it to cart files and trade goods. For a folding cart I am pleasantly surprised at its strength. Wheels could be a little larger, 8" instead of 7", but are very adequate.

Comments about Wesco Maxi Mover Folding Handtruck:
This is the best folding handtruck I have ever used- solid construction, rubber wheels, and it folds up to store in my car. Got it for household moving, but it's great for work as well. Just bought a second one for the office.

I use this around the house and for volunteering that I do. It is strong and easy to use. I would have liked a different color, but that really isn't needed.

I'm in my 80s and have occasional trouble with my back so I anticipate this handtruck helping me move things around. It will also come in handy when I transport my cameras, laptop and tripod, whether on flights or just locally.

Comments about Wesco Maxi Mover Folding Handtruck:
I purchased this handtruck to carry my heavy telescope equipment. It has made that task much easier. The way it opens and closes is perfect when your hands are full, or in my case, having to work in the dark. It's foldup size takes up very little of the valuable storage space in my SUV, allowing me to carry more equipment. The handtruck is very well made, and sturdy. I would highly reccomend this handtruck to a friend. I wish I had known about this product sooner. Many nights I did not use my telescope because I didn't want to haul my equipment. This handtruck has made it much easier, so I'm out observing more. If I needed this for Airline use, I would order the model below this one as it is all aluminun, and 3lbs lighter.

This is an excellent product. I use it on gigs to carry my Fender Passport 300 PA system and a box containing the lights and music folders for my jazz sextet. It folds up compact and flat so that I can carry it in the trunk of my car. Unfolding the platform also brings out the wheels. The truck is quite light in weight as well. It comes with its own bungee cord to wrap the parcels securely while on the truck. The B&H price was also super! The large wheels help it to go over uneven floors with ease. Altogether a fine product.

Comments about Wesco Maxi Mover Folding Handtruck:
I did a lot of research on hand trucks before selecting this one. Among its pluses are a really comfortable handle (the most similar model had a narrower covering and less padded handle). It folds easily and perfectly for storage, and I recently used it to move cartons of books over a pretty rough path and its stability and easy of use was incredible. Bravo!

I have two of these handtrucks to transport all of my photography equipment.
Nice rubber grips.
Excellent value, easy to use. Highly recommended to Pelican case users.

Carried filled cooler + heavy pelican case + lawn chair + tripod and went across gravel and grass without problem at all. Great, well built product

Comments about Wesco Maxi Mover Folding Handtruck:
It's great for loading 2 HP130s or double HP100s. If you're carrying single tanks, you need to use the included bungie to create a webbed barrier (like in the picture) otherwise your single tank will tilt through the gap. Product seems to be quite sturdy and I'm confident it will stand up to hard useage. This is replacing my cheaply made [@]Magna-Cart.

Comments about Wesco Maxi Mover Folding Handtruck:
I referred to this one as the Mini Mover vs. the Mega Mover in my Review of the Mega Mover -- my apologies!
This is the unit for you if you have simple needs. Moving-day. Trips to the boat when you need to move the ice chest onboard. Helping a friend relocate. The wheels are solid vs. the Mega Mover's air-filled all-terrain tires. This folds up very compact and is great for older folks, too, who should not lift a lot of weight.
Since I bought the Mega Mover for myself, and this unit as a gift for someone else at Christmas, I had the chance to try them both. This unit is no slouch, so if you do not need to lift the rated weight of the Mega Mover, this unit is perfect. It easily has one of the largest lift plates you'll find anywhere -- making the load more stable, and bulky boxes easier to handle. The included elastic cords come in very handy -- you simply place the knotted end into an integrated notch to secure it after pulling it taught around your cargo.
This is far more lightweight than the Mega Mover. Much easier to lift into the trunk of your car. But very strong, and well-made. Surprisingly, these wheels went down stairs fairly easily -- but not as easily as the tires on the Mega Mover. However, if lifting a heavy object is bothering your back, already, do NOT get the Mega Mover -- use this Maxi Mover, instead.
Also, if you must move heavy objects across gravel or lawns, my choice would be the Mega Mover. This Maxi Mover may work but the wheels will bog down easier.
Finally, on both units, I cannot tell you how impressed I was with the Build Quality! I did not get any inkling of problems with the way these are put together. There was nothing timid about them. The extended handle height is 1" shorter on this unit than the Mega Mover. I found both to be a perfect fit, and I'm 5'-10" tall (if that helps).

This hand truck is a must if your a photographer always hauling lots of equipment to weddings, sporting events, etc. It allows you to load EVERYTHING onto 1 cart and it rolls very easy. The truck folds up in half which makes it compact and easy to put into the trunk of your car or truck. If your thinking about geting it - stop thinking and just purchase it. Your back will be so happy you did.

Folds flat feels tough. It's gonna be great!
