Hand truck

Some hand trucks are equipped with stairclimber wheels, which, as the name implies, are designed to go up and down stairs.

Most commercial hand trucks used for beverage and food service deliveries are rugged and very light.

A rule of thumb is that the toe or nose of the truck should be at least one-third of the length of the load.

Hand trucks are sometimes used as baggage carts by porters in train stations and skycaps at airports.
