Super dolly

No, not a mega Barbie or Rockette but a mega hand truck. Lots of heavy stuff to hand load and unload? Save your back. You don't have to heave it up into the van and up onto a table and you don't have to take it from the shelf and lower it to the floor, the dolly can do it for you. Up to 500 pounds capacity.

That's pretty Cool.................I Like It!

But.....what I wonder is how Heavy the thing is when it comes to picking it up to put it in / take it out of your truck. And.....it being battery powered.....what is the Use Time of those Batteries before they need recharging. Also, can it be laid down on its side or back when in the back of regular Cargo Van.........as we all do when we put a 2 Wheeler in the back of a Van.

We used something like this in the printing studios to lug around the lithographic stones. The light one is listed at 112 lbs for 750 lb capacity. There is a magnesium frame model that weighs 67 lbs for 400 lb capacity.

sent email to them and found out how much one dolly cost over 2,000 dollar

Yikes! The tv show I saw it on said $250 and $500 which I thought was reasonable but also thought seemed too low to buy the thing. No wonder I liked it so much and wanted it like the show said I would.

Excellent questions! For vanners weight would be an issue. I'm guessing at least 75 pounds with a battery and motor. Probably a motorcycle/lawn tractor type wet cell that would leak when horizontal. The full back has a maximum lift capacity of only 500 pounds. I can't see this dolly being practical in our line of business and with the $2000 price tag it would be a rather expensive wheel chock. For that kind of money I could buy a decent laptop computer to use for a wheel chock and still have a bunch of money left over to eat well for a few months.

Close. They use smaller motorcycle-type batteries made by Werker. They are AGM batteries in the 7 or 8 Ah range. I'm guessing this one, or something very close to it. This page has some videos showing how to assemble the thing, and how to recharge the battery. Can't get a clear enough look at the battery to snag the model number, but almost.

Having said that, this thread title has been driving me nuts.
