Stair Climbing Sack Truck FAQs

What is a stair climbing sack truck?

How do you use a stair climber?

A stair-climbing sack truck is very easy to use. Sometimes, a stair-climbing sack truck is foldable - in this case, you will firstly need to push the toe plate down so it rests flat on the floor. With the stair-climbing sack truck upright, you can stack the materials you need to transport onto the toe plate (please try to stack the heavier, wider items on the bottom first to avoid items falling off). Once loaded, stand behind the stair-climbing sack truck, hold onto the handle and tilt the truck back slightly - you are now ready to push or pull the load to your desired location.

Please take care not to overload/exceed the maximum capacity of the stair-climbing sack truck as this may lead to damaged materials or injuries.
