This review is from: Northern Industrial Appliance Truck - 1200-Lb. Capacity (Misc.)

This appliance truck is decent, but could be much better. In the first 2 weeks (heavy use) both of the kick-out wheels stripped out and fell off, and the belts on the stair-climbers both shredded. The company sent me replacements, but the replacement kick-out wheels have again stripped out. the problem is a design flaw I think, as you can not get the wheels tight enough for the locking washer to work. As the nut loosens, the weight on the wheel strips the bolt.

Also, the stair climbers are very hard to actually get to move, so they end up shredding the black belts instead of sliding along the tracks as they should. I sprayed them down with some industrial lubricant after I installed replacements and they seem to work ok now.

All in all it is not a bad appliance truck, but the kick-out wheels falling off could be EXTREMELY DANGEROUS when carrying a heavy load. I intend to replace them with a different set of wheels that lock in place better.

If you are going to spend this much money on an Appliance truck, know going in that may have to invest a few dollars more and get some good caster wheels for the kick out. You might want to spend a few more dollars and get the next model up.
