When you want to move heavy or bulky items, a folding hand truck is your go-to tool. Because of the way it distributes weight and its rolling function, it can move even the heaviest loads with ease and without wear and tear on you!
Foldable hand trucks are a must-have for every building, office, or workspace. Because they fold, they are easy to store out of site and can be quickly accessed when deliveries arrive or furniture needs to be moved. These transportation aids are key to moving items without incurring injuries.

Cosco Multi-Position Folding Hand Truck
Best Overall
A strong overall moving aid, this 300-pound-capacity, multi-position folding hand truck and dolly boasts a durable steel frame for heavy-duty tasks.

When it comes to moving anything — from potted plants to heavy delivery boxes — a sturdy, durable hand truck is your best bet. This simple aid takes the risk of handling heavy, awkward items off the user. Many hand trucks can convert from dolly style (upright) to cart style (like a child’s wagon) which is suitable for pulling. If you use a hand truck with care and common sense, you should be able to handle the most daunting loads without straining yourself (or even breaking a sweat!)
