We love it!
We love this beast around our place. I've had mine for 5 or 6 years now. We heat with wood, and have large rounds of wood to move around, often 800 pounds or more. This hand truck makes that possible for us.
It also gets (ab)used as a prying device for various chores around our property, and it's been dropped off a trailer or truck a time or two.
It's not perfect. Right now I'm in need of replacing the bearings on one side. It would be better if there were a zerk fitting to keep the bearings lubricated. I may add them.
The plates that shield the wheels have bent back a bit over the years. I'm planning to bend them back and then weld on some braces.
However, this thing has taken a LOT of abuse, and has kept on ticking.
Highly recommended!

Good Hand Truck
Sturdy, good tires. Seems to be well built. Was very easy to assemble. No problems with delivery.

Good Mover Cheap Wheels
This Hand truck is great for moving heavy and bulky objects, but the wheels and bearings are not designed to handle the weight for very long.
If you are a short person I would pass on this one also.

designed obsolence
Works well initially, after 2 weeks on the job the bearings loosen and the wheels fall off of the axle, Have purchased two units. First one was used for three months on a single job and the wheel rim seperated from the wheel flange. If you need a large capacity set of hand trucks and will use it sparingly this may fulfill your needs. If you use trucks for material handling on a continuous basis pass on this tool.

This is a LARGE dolly.
I often end up with 3' > 4' diameter hard wood logs. I bought this to move the rounds & large chunks to the log splitter. It handles them easily. My surprise was at how tall the unit is. Only complaint was it did not come with hardware to mount the wheels. I had large washers & cotter pins so not a big deal.

A very sturdy hand truck.
The hand truck rolls well over rough surfaces. The frame is well built and should handle some abuse without bending or cracking the frame. I am very satisfied.

Heavy Hauler
I use this product mainly for hauling inflatable waterslides weighing between 250 - 400 lbs., and I have no complaints. It traverses well over soft and grassy terrain due to its large, pneumatic tires. Very sturdy. Never any problems with tire puncture. Extra large plate is a plus.

Large hand truck
This little truck was a life saver when it came time to move the big stuff. It has a generous platform for hauling and large tires to handle the load. Only complaint: the tires are very thin and puncture easilly...don't take this baby off the pavement or you'll be repairing the tires. I had some tumbleweed thorns puncture each of the tires while wheeling things to the back of my home.
