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.

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.

• Rubbermaid 2 Shelf Utility Cart is built with Pneumatic Casters. Two (2) sizes of this utility cart are available at the present time.

• One (1) is considered to be the smaller model. It measures:

- Thirty seven and one eight inches tall = 37-1/8” in height;-
- Twenty five and seven eight inches wide = 25-7/8” in width;
- Forty five and one fourth inches long = 45-1/4” in length;
- Load capacity is five hundred (500) pounds.
- Rubbermaid 4520-10 BLA is the reference number for this smaller cart.

- Rubbermaid 4546-10 BLA is the other available model of the Rubbermaid Utility Carts.

- Thirty three and one fourth inches tall = 33-1/4” in height;
- Twenty six inches width = 26” wide;
- Fifty five inches long = 55” in length;
- Load capacity is seven hundred fifty (750) pounds.
- Considered to be the larger of the two models available from Rubbermaid.

Step one is to choose the height of the cart which should be chosen according to how the cart will be used. Start with the basic shelf, considering how wide the cart needs to be. Next, determine how tall the cart needs to be for variety of its use. 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
• Green
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. Hospitals can order the cart to match the logo of the hospital. For instance, if the logo of the hospital is burgundy and gray, the carts can be ordered in these colors.

Step three is to choose the cabinet option if needed. This option is not available on the fifteen and one half (15-1/2”) inch model but can easily be added to the other, taller carts. The cabinet has four sides, one of which is a door that opens and shuts. It is a highly customizable, elegant piece of moving equipment.

Step four is to add the electrical outlet option. This is an excellent way to add electrical power to the cart to make it into an audio visual cart. Laptops, projectors, adding machines and other office equipment can be used on the cart itself if this option is added as a part to the cart itself.

Step five is to choose the color of the legs. This step is not necessary if you have picked the cabinet option because the legs will match the cabinet itself.

Step six is the last step which is to add the optional drawer. The drawer can only be added to the taller models. The drawer option and the cabinet option both come with a lock and key to add to the security of the carts. The sturdy cart is for adult use only.
