We've been remodeling the house during the past three years. Early on, I felt the need for an inexpensive hand truck to move heavy objects about. I looked around and found a variety available. I opted for this model (identical to this one, but without the bag holder). I guess I selected it because I thought I needed only a light duty truck and the cost was lower. That was a mistake. I should have bought the heavier duty model with pneumatic tires and a handle.This hand truck is sturdy and well made. I have no complaints here. The problem is that it is difficult to use on any object with any heft. I tried moving the old fridge and several other large objects and it proved to be very difficult. The truck lacks a handle, except for the slightly bent back upper portion. The load rating is listed as 250 pounds (more than the fridge weight). If the object has any size, however, moving it with this hand truck can be very difficult. What was I thinking? Having a hand truck is very useful, but this one has proven inadequate for my needs again and again. Well, that's not the hand truck's fault, it's mine for choosing such a light-duty model. My suggestion might be that if you're in need of a small general-purpose hand truck for use around the house and garden, opt for a larger model with pneumatic tires. And be sure to get one with a handle. You'll find it far more satisfactory than this one.
