This Wesco 220617 portable aluminum folding hand truck can be used for transporting heavy loads up to 175 lb. in a variety of settings. It is made of aluminum for lighter weight than steel, and it can be folded for portability or space-saving storage. The truck has a noseplate that measures 19 x 12 inches (W x D). It measures 19 x 19 x 42 inches (W x D x H) overall when open, and 19 x 2 x 29.5 inches (W x D x H) when folded. (W is width, the horizontal distance from left to right; D is depth, the horizontal distance from front to back; H is height, the vertical distance from bottom to top.) This hand truck has two 7" non-marking rubber wheels for maneuverability, and has built-in elastic straps for securing the load. This portable aluminum folding hand truck is suitable for use in a variety of material handling applications.

Hand trucks, also known as two-wheeled dollies, are used to transport heavy or bulky items, especially in commercial product distribution and delivery. Hand trucks are L-shaped, with handles at the top, two wheels at the bottom, and a small platform that touches the ground when the truck is upright. A load is placed on the platform and the truck is tilted back, balancing the weight over the wheels. Powered hand trucks have a platform that lifts the load up, or lowers it down, to reduce human labor. Some hand trucks may be convertible to platform trucks for moving large or cumbersome loads. Others fold flat for storage.

Wesco manufactures material handling equipment under the Wesco and Lexco brands. The company, founded in 1948, is headquartered in North Wales, PA.
