Magna Cart Personal Hand Truck

I bought this hand truck for my wife for her to use in her business to move heavy crates. It is well made and very easy to use. It meets all her needs to move the crates and folds very thin.

I was moving and desperately needed a hand cart as I had lots of boxes. This cart is light, compact but very sturdy and unbelievably well priced. I was able to move 3-4 boxes at a time and that makes a huge difference rather than carry one box at a time by hand. Initially when the cart arrived, it kind of looked flimsy and I wasnt sure it'll be able to handle the heavy boxes (books!). But it worked out really well. Its a little bit tricky to tilt the cart with the heavy boxes. But if you put your foot against the wheel and then push the box to tilt it, its easy. I just wish they had made the handle longer. I am 6ft tall and once the cart is tilted I needed to stoop while I pushed it around. Anyways, five stars without a doubt.

I bought this item to use to move my daughter to college. It worked great. It was able to carry the load and also did not take up much room in the car.

I am very pleased with my purchase. I live in a condominium with basement parking. This cart is compact for storage but strong enough to handle heavy weight.

The folding wheels are the best ... and worst feature. They make the unit much easier to carry and store. But they put the pivot point too far behind the load and that throws off the balance.

Unintuitively, it works better with big loads than small; i.e., it is easier to move two boxes than just one! To balance short loads, you have to push the handle too far down (too close to horizontal) to be really comfortable. Fortunately, the handle is long, so it is not too awkward.

Tall loads balance better. Moving one box is easier if you stand it on end than the more natural bottom.
