QR Code Link to This Post
Side frames are made from tough tempered aluminum alloy, and the lift frame is made of steel. The forks are 28 inches long and have a standard lifting height of up to up to 54 inches - high enough to load or unload a semi truck! (Lowered height on forks 4 1/8").
Height is 68" tall with the fork attachment (for the removable fork models the hand truck itself is 66").
What's Included?
• Hand Truck and removable hand crank Forks.
• 1 Rewind Belt - The 12 ft. automatic rewinding safety straps on the Escalera Stairclimbing Handtrucks work the same way as a seat belt in a car. They can be mounted at different heights on the hand truck and can easily be used to secure the heaviest of loads. The automatic rewinding safety straps are lightweight, and self-contained. Because they rewind into the side frame when they are not in use, you will never have loose straps dangling down by your feet. A simple to use thumb-style lock secures the strap for tightening.
• Sealed Gel-Cell Battery - will not spill and can be laid on its side
• Automatic Battery Charger - Includes clamps that can be attached directly to battery terminals, and a male/female plug that can be left permanently on the battery for easier and faster charging.
Optional Accessories that come with this unit:
Big Wheel Attachment - Hooks on to the back of your hand truck (easy on/off), allows you to roll over rough terrain with the Big Wheel Attachment. This removable accessory is perfect for moving heavy loads through gravel, grass, thick shag carpet, light snow, and even on flat smooth surfaces. The 10 inch pneumatic tires bear much of the weight of the load as you navigate on four wheels instead of two.
2 Extra Rewind Straps - Every Escalera Stairclimbing Handtruck ships with one automatic rewinding safety strap included as standard. Additional straps are optional, and this unit comes with a total of three (3).
Crossgrip Handle - Adds on an ergonomic cross handle that goes across the back of your hand truck, it attaches to the standard loop handles. Makes using the hand truck much easier.
Retractable Load Support - Use the Retractable Load Support (RLS-1) when you need to roll heavy loads long distances. The caster legs fold up conveniently along the side frame when they are not in use. An easy-to-use foot-operated latch releases the caster legs and a locking arm secures the legs in the open position for safe and easy operation.
Liftplate Attachment (LPA-1) - Removable Steel Platform - 24" wide x 28" deep platform, sits on top of forks - easily snaps on/off
Step Detection System - Designed as an extra safety precaution to work with the Staircat hand truck. It indicates to the operator when the hand truck is in the correct position to ascend or descend the steps. Simply activate the system with your foot by pressing on the release lever on each detector on both sides. The Detector will indicate the edge of very step by giving you a strong resistance which you will feel.
I bought this new a year ago, and haven't used it. It's been kept inside my house in a climate controlled environment, and works perfectly. If you we're to order from a distributor, you'd have to wait a few months for production. Get it now without the hassle! This is an extremely powerful stair climbing hand truck that can easily lift up to 1200 lbs. It's great for moving: Safes, Video Games, Pinball Machine, Office Copy Machines, etc... In short, this unit reduces manpower needs for moving heavy objects. If you need more information, go to the manufacturer's website and watch their many videos of it in operation. You'll be amazed at what it can do!
The unit is located on the northwest side of Chicago near O'Hare, and you are welcome to come and see it. Just give me a call if interested.
