A Wesco Hand Truck Simplifies the Process of Moving Objects
Moving anything of substantial weight can be backbreaking labor. Nobody wants to spend all day lifting heavy boxes and moving them someplace else. Doing so creates fatigue, and there’s always the risk of strains and other injuries.
The solution to moving things around is to purchase a hand-truck from Wesco Industrial Products, Inc. A Wesco hand truck simply eliminates all that carrying. The wheels take the load and all you have to supply is the push to get things moving!
A hand truck is the simplest way of providing transport to otherwise non-maneuverable items. It consists of a frame and a toe or nose plate. Close to the point at where the toe plate and frame meet is the axle, and on either end of the axle sits a wheel—or two wheels in the case of heavy-duty hand trucks.
To use the hand truck all you need to do is bring the truck up to the object to be transported and guide the toe plate beneath them. If that is not possible, then you can stack the objects directly onto the plate – this is not the preferable solution as of course that means you’re still doing a bit of lifting.
Once you’ve loaded up your hand truck you simply tilt the frame back on the wheels and once you’ve achieved perfect balance, you’re good to go! Your cumbersome objects are now perfectly maneuverable!
Need to Make Deliveries? A Wesco Hand Truck Will Ease the Load
If your business operation transports larger items then you are really making your delivery driver’s lives too much of a misery without a hand truck. If your operation involves the delivery of your products, then a Wesco hand truck is the perfect tool to provide for your delivery drivers to use. Your drivers probably have to deal with a lot of daily fatigue – both mental in finding addresses that they may not have previously visited and working out the most advantageous way of getting there, and the physical in driving and taking items from their vans to their eventual destinations.
Even transporting small items by hand can be tiring if you have to transport multiple items during the course of a workday. What’s even more tiring is transporting items up and down stairwells. Unfortunately, not all of your customer’s addresses are equipped with working elevators!
All these issues can be neatly solved with the purchase of a Wesco hand truck. Simply arm each of your delivery drivers with a hand truck and not only will they reserve their strength, they will be able to deliver at greater speed, and in turn get more done during the course of their working day.
The best thing about the use of a Wesco hand truck when delivering is that you can use them to lift items up those bothersome stairs mentioned earlier. Your driver can simply reverse the trolley and use the wheels as extra traction to help lift the items up the stairs, step-by-step. It’s certainly a lot easier than carrying individual items up by hand.
Need to Move Appliances? Allow a Wesco Hand Truck to Come to Your Rescue
If you’re in the household appliances trade, then you will understand that transporting stoves, washing machines and refrigerators can be something of a nightmare. Let’s face it, these items are not designed to be moved about – quite the opposite! They’re designed to be taken to a spot in someone’s kitchen and then not moved again for several years!
So, once you’ve sold a household appliance, quite often your customer will expect delivery too. Getting the appliance onto your delivery truck or van is not difficult – you might already have forklifts or other machines to help you out.
Once the appliance has been delivered though, getting it to where it needs to be is a different matter. Using some kind of trolley is a complete no-brainer. If you purchase a Wesco hand truck, then you are supplying your delivery drivers with the perfect transportation tool. What’s more, a Wesco hand truck has a small footprint, so it will not take up valuable space within the delivery vehicle.
