This is the second platform truck I have bought. I love that I can get all my sewing stuff on it when I am going to Sewing Circle. My father-in-law uses his to take his clothes to the washing machine room in his assisted living place. He can get all his laundry and his soap, etc., on it and doesn't have to lift and carry anything. It is versatile and handy. It's also great for my scrapbooking paraphanalia. That stuff is HEAVY!

THIS CART IS A FABULOUS VALUE!! I am very pleased with this item. The first thing I had to do after putting the wheels on the cart was take my 3 1/2 yr. old Granddaughter (at her request) for a ride through the house (carpets throughout). I was surprised at how easy it was to push even over carpets...with weight on it. I am disabled and purchased the cart because I am unable to lift or carry more than a few pounds of weight and also need to consolidate trips....so gave this cart a try....I'm so glad I did!!!!
One thing I found was that the cart came without information on placement of the wheels. Two wheels are fixed and two wheels swivel. Upon opening the box I thought I'd put the swivel wheels in front but when looking at the length of the cart, I thought they should go in the back. I should have gone with my first thought because as easy as it was to use the cart with the swivels in back...it was WAY easier with the swivels in front. So note to BUYERS--SWIVEL WHEELS GO IN FRONT.
If you need a cart you'll be pleased with this. It's a great value!!

I never expected the folding platform truck that I purchased to be this quality. It is so much better than expected. We are ordering a second one in April to give to my parents to haul around their recording equipment!

This cart is exactly what I was looking for. It is inexpensive, not too heavy, and does the job. Also, it is foldable for easy storage. I'm not sure why the other reviewer said it isn't. It arrives folded, so clearly it is! The only thing you have to do is put on the wheels and you're good to go.

What a GREAT cart!! I paid 35 dollars plus s/h. You can't beat this price. This is a must have in the home. No instructions included so just make sure your two pivot wheels are installed in the front of your cart (not in the back). One of the reviews I read before I purchased the item said the cart was not foldable. When I received mine in the mail, it did take me a while to figure out how to fold the cart. If you have the same problem, just step on the metal bar that goes across from one side of the handle to the other. Everyone loves my cart and I wish I had purchased one of these a long time ago.

On the positive side - shipping/receipt was done in a timely manner. Plus, the truck is a good value.
On the negative side - it appeared that it might have been a return. The platform had a number of marks/cuts on it. This doesn't affect its use, however. The mechanical function of the handle, however, works very hard and needs some WD40 to smooth it out a bit.
Overall, it is what I was looking for and would not spend the $$ to return.

Do not expect a robust truck. This is for light duty and I would dispute the 330 Lb. weight capacity. Mine arrived with a minor dent on the platform. Not serious enough to return but a disappointment nonetheless. My biggest compliant is that the wheels are stiff and do not rotate freely to allow ease of movement. Assembly was simple but I was disappointed that there were not even basic instructions in the box. Makes me wonder if I received someone's rejected/returned cart. At the end of the day, I place this product in the "you get what you pay for" column and move on.

For the price, it's a decent cart and it can carry a pretty heavy load with ease. I'm using it all the time and do like it. I think max weight capacity is 330 lbs. Beware that you probably will not get instructions for attaching wheels. 2 wheels are stationary and 2 are rotating. I like the rotating wheels on the front for pushing instead of on back for pulling. Also, because there are no instructions, I was really afraid I was going to break the cart handle while pulling it up into position. It's attached at base on spring loads but handle is not extended when you receive it. You have to pull up on handle to lock into place and it felt as if it would break while I had to force it up (force was due to resistance from the spring loads). I ended up pushing down on the horizontal steel rod at bottom with my foot while pulling up on the handle which did minimize the resistance until it locked into place. If instructions had been included I'm sure they would have said to perform that maneuver. Sounds like a hassle but it wasn't bad. Telling you these details because you probably will not get instructions with the cart and i think another reviewer said the same happened to them. Also, there were a few little scuffs on the rubber sides of the cart but, again, for price and for my needs, it made no difference at all.

I'm a 4'11" petite lady who does a lot of packing and shipping. I purchased this hand truck to help me move heavy merchandise in and out of my garage. I scouted around and found the best-priced hand truck on Amazon and decided to order it. I received my platform hand truck next business day after ordering it!

Initially, I couldn't decide between this hand truck and the folding truck with a steel noseplate since I ship 37-inch high boxes frequently. Finally, I decided that this model would be the logical choice for now since I also lug around a lot of staging equipment which will conveniently sit on this platform hand truck.

It's the easiest thing to assemble - and I'm no handyman! It comes with everything pre-assembled except for the wheels which screws on with a wrench. Make sure to screw on the 2 swivel wheels on the front and the 2 steady wheels on the back, and you're ready to go!

What you'll need: An adjustable wrench (10-15 in)

What a great product at an amazing price! The folding platform truck is top quality (sturdy steel) and easy to use. I love that 2-wheels swivel, and all the wheels roll smoothly. The handle is very secure, yet folds up and down easily and compactly. The platform is the perfect size for household use or small loads. I originally purchased it for all my school PTA work: carrying cases of water bottles and drinks from my car to the school for teacher receptions, and boxes of school supplies for distribution days. But, I find I have so many other uses for it too. If you have frequent heavy loads to transport, is well worth the money.
