Posted on April 30, 2012 by admin

The Milwaukee 40144 is a sturdy built CYLINDER HAND TRUCK WITH RETRACTABLE CASTERS that can carry two (2) cylinders with reliability.  It is built to be compatible with Oxygen Tank styles D, Q, S, and Acetylene Tank styles WS and WC.   Along with being built to last, this cylinder or oxygen hand truck is equipped with retractable casters and a toolbox that is attached to the frame.   Weighing only thirty (30) pounds, the load capacity of this hand truck is two hundred (200) pounds which means there is a load limit of one hundred (100) pounds per cylinder.  The cylinder dimensions should be no more than thirty five (35) inches to a maximum of fifty one (51) inches high.  The width of the cylinders allowed should be approximately seven and one eight inches (7-1/8”) to eight and one half inches (8-1/2”).  The size of the cylinders is important to be able to fit onto the toe plate which is nine (9”) inches by seventeen (17”) inches and is divided into two (2) sections. The cylinders should be the appropriate size to fit securely inside the divided toe plate.

When using any hand truck, safety should always be a focus.  Always make sure that the operator has received proper instruction in handling the cylinders and the hand truck. This is especially true in regards to a motorized platform hand truck. Be aware of body parts in relation to the hand truck and the cylinders at all times.  The operator’s feet and hands should be kept clear to eliminate any possibility of injury.  Exceeding the load capacity is always a negative when operating any hand truck including the CYLINDER HAND TRUCK.  Always use the steel chain straps that come attached to the sides of the hand truck and specifically made to keep the cylinders secure while being moved around or delivered.  While in motion, the CYLINDER hand truck should be tilted forward slightly, keeping the weight of the load on the wheels rather than the handles.  Always walk behind the hand truck that is being used to move product.

When delivering or storing the cylinders, it is important to always check the cylinders for any dents, rust or holes.  The cylinders should be inspected before loading onto the hand truck.  With proper loading and proper use of the hand truck, the CYLINDER HAND TRUCK should last for years of continuous use.

Other cylinder hand trucks are available in one cylinder sizes, gas cylinder hand trucks, medical cylinder hand trucks and welding cylinder hand trucks.  Choose the one that is best for the job.

BUILD YOUR OWN MALIGNER HAND TRUCK

Posted on April 21, 2012 by admin

You have decided to add a modern hand truck to the list of equipment needed for your thriving business.  Or is it time to replace an aging stock truck that is no longer reliable or safe for use.   Which one is best for you?  You are not sure.  So, why not build your own?  Building your own is easy to do with these simple, easy to follow steps:

First, choose a frame that accommodates the needed task, Second, choose a comfortable, easy grip handle that goes with the frame. Third, choose a nose plate that fits the frame and handle making sure it is long enough.  Fourth, choose the wheels; the number depends on the style of hand truck and the load size. Lastly, add extra optional accessories that will complete the perfect hand truck for the job to do!

The average load capacity of most manual hand trucks is approximately five hundred (500) pounds.  This should be taken into consideration when designing a hand truck.  If the load capacity of five hundred (500) pounds does not meet what your business requires, then choosing a predesigned hand truck is recommended.  If your load is extra heavy, then you would want to go with a motorized walkie pallet jack.

Safety should always be the first concern in ordering any type of hand truck whether it is customer designed or designed by the manufacturer.  Industrial equipment is just that, a well-built tool for the job that should last for years to come with only minor updates, perhaps new tires, or minor repairs, like a new battery.

Hand truck frames come in eight (8) different styles ranging from straight back to curve back to heavy duty.  Hand grips are available in multiple styles, too.  Eighteen (18) different handles are available to add to the frame of choice.  Ranging in style from basic to curved, single handle to double handles, depending on the load or product moved.  The nose plate is the next addition and consideration in building or designing any hand truck.  Fourteen (14) different nose plates are made to fit the frame you choose, most have a three hundred (300) pound capacity.  The wheels are the base of the hand truck, as well, as the movement mechanism.  Wheels are available in seven (7) different styles.

Always consider the weight of the load that is to be transported. You can look up the OSHA website if you need further guidance. The wheels should be chosen according to that weight capacity.  Always consider the terrain that those wheels will cover, whether it is indoor or outdoor or both.  Then, lastly, add any extra optional accessories, including stair climbing, frame extensions, folding nose plates, keg hooks, an accessory bag or and ID personalization tag.   In five (5) easy to do steps, the perfect hand truck is designed and ready to be shipped to your location with just a few decisions made by you, the new owner.

Carrying a Door with a Hand Truck

Posted on April 12, 2012 by admin

Besides for the weight of the doors it is the bulkiness that makes them hard to carry and/or maneuver especially when going up and down stairs. Your best bet may be a Wesco Stair Climber. Even after getting the door in place you still will nod High Quality Door Seals to seal the gaps on top and bottom of the door.

Also known as Door Gaskets these seals can be adjustable and double sealed with the main thing to look out for would be the quality of the rubber being used. As for sealing the bottom you won’t really get a good seal unless your using an automatic door bottom.

The height can start at fifteen and one half (15-1/2) inches and go to the tallest model of forty two and one half (42-1/2) inches.

Step two should be choosing the color. There are twelve (12) color options:
• Black
• Orange
• Blue
• Red
• Gray
• Yellow
• Purple
• Tan
• Hunter green
• Burgundy
• Topaz blue or

The twelve color options allow the carts to be coordinated with a theme, such as a school color, or to match the décor of the office, school, restaurant or church.

Another factor to be consider is the manufacturer warranty and the material handling used in making the pallet jack as you need to make sure the pallet jack still working fine even with the tough job to be handle.
