Retail Hand Trucks and Dollies
Varied retail situations require different kinds of retail hand trucks. Dutro steel heavy duty hand trucks are designed to work around the variety of retail environments out there.
Retail spaces are traditionally tight. A decent dolly needs wheels that can handle diverse surfaces while providing maneuverability in narrow aisles and compact spaces.
Product weight and size likewise play a part in the design of a good hand truck, cart or dolly:
- Light weight but bulky items – think cartons of potato chips, light paper products or homegoods usually require broad kickplates to accommodate the bulk
- Heavy loads – steel construction of a supported frame that can handle both box depth as well as dense weight
- Larger Wheels – moving items from truck to store room or sales floor means getting over curbs, stairs and thresholds that small wheels cannot maneuver
- Accessible Handles – hip-height or higher handles that are broad make it not only easier to grab but also to leverage weight in moving things around
- All Steel Construction – these hand trucks stand the daily pounding they receive in busy backrooms and on crowded sales floors
Retail hand trucks tend to be viewed in a general way. But attention to the smaller details – such as wheel bumpers that shield product from added wear – goes far to building their value in stores.
These budget-friendly, general use steel hand trucks last for generations.
