Description of Magna Cart Personal Hand Truck
The Magna Cart Personal Hand Truck is engineered with toughness in mind. Made of rust-proof aluminum, this cart is ideal for traveling, and can even be folded and stowed in an airline overhead compartment, and is also handy for weekend travel by train or car. Storage is simple as the lightweight, seven-pound cart folds up to a compact size of 25 inches tall by 2 inches wide; it extends to 39 inches tall. Sturdy enough to hold up to 150 pounds, you'll find many, many uses for this handy cart at home, work, and while traveling. Five-inch rubber wheels allow you to glide through your travels and tasks with ease.Ideal for travelers, trade show exhibitors, and anyone else who frequently schleps boxes and other gear from place to place, the Magna Cart personal hand truck is engineered with toughness in mind. The 7-pound hand truck is made of sturdy rustproof aluminum, with a telescoping handle that extends to 39 inches tall. As a result, both tall and short users can comfortably haul up to 150 pounds at once. The 5-inch rubber wheels, meanwhile, roll smoothly on virtually any surface, from pavement to trim carpet to linoleum. Best of all, the truck folds up compactly for storage or carrying, with a footprint of only 25 inches tall and 2 inches wide. The hand truck's narrow profile makes it ideal for carrying on planes (it fits easily in overhead compartments), trains, and cars, and when you're not using it, simply hang it on a peg in the garage or stow it next to the fridge.

Sports reviews of Magna Cart Personal Hand Truck
Customer Review: Awesome little hand cart !!
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I'd defintely say this is a MUST HAVE for just about anyone, especially for the price (and i believe it qualifies for free shipping in itself).
What a great priced cart. You know in this day and age of all this stuff from the store heavier and being packaged bigger, from those cases of bottled water, to 20 Lb. or more pet food bags, this is a life saver to keep in the car, or in the house, wherever you need it, get 2 of them even! As someone who has a hard time carrying those extra heavy things, and for really everyone who really just needs to be careful in transporting things so as not to hurt or throw your back out, this cart EASILY can move up to 150 pound of stuff.
The width of the part you set things down on is 15 Inches, which really isn't a bad size, the next cart avail is 19". But the 15" is a good for everyday, normal person transporting !
So once you get those 3 cases of bottled water home,, load them up on your new handy dandy Magna Cart and wheel them inside, even if you only have one case, you dont have to worry about carrying it, just set it down and roll it in! (It even comes with a couple of bungee cords for strapping things down). Set that heavy bag of dry dog food on the cart and wheel it to its destination. Got a couple of cinder blocks that need to be somewhere else in the yard, Go ahead, be lazy, wheel them, dont carry them.
All of us need a little help, need to have things just a little bit easier, pick up this little hand cart and it's sure to make life just a little eaiser for you. (Your kids may want a joy ride too, wheel them around the kitchen !!) Have fun, pick one up, you wont be disappointed.
Customer Review: Perfect Little Hand Truck. Excellent Design
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I got this for the office and I think every office would benefit from having one. It's just like the picture shows. You move around reams of paper and cases of beverages normally in an office. That's how I've used it and also to move empty tall file cabinets. It's lightweight and folds up real small so I have no trouble stowing it when not in use.
I can't believe this dolly is as strong as it is, able to handle at least 150 pounds. It only weighs 8 pounds. It's evidently solid aluminum. Also, the tires are solid rubber which means no maintenance. It folds up incredibly well and I have been very happy taking it in the car since it is folds up so well and is so lightweight.
This is really different than previous dollies I've used in offices. In the past I've had to use solid metal dollies and they were heavy. They were not convenient for taking in the car.
One great feature of this hand truck is the wide base. It's perfect for holding large cases of water bottles, for example. A perfect accessory - bungee cords. The set of bungee cords that I got is I believe the best deal:Master Lock 3023AT Assorted Bungee Cords, 24-Pack
For the price this is a great hand truck. I'm very happy with it and cannot recommend it highly enough. Honestly, I have no complaints or even suggestions on how the design could be better. The only limitation is the load limit of 150 pounds, although I think I exceeded it by a little bit once.
Customer Review: Great little cart
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I just started a new job where I have to set up an exhibit table most days. While the table itself is not real heavy parking in my territory is terrible and I usually have to park 2 to 3 blocks from where I'm located. Add to that a briefcase packed to the brim and it makes for a very uncomfortable schlep. Not wanting to go and get a new rolling briefcase and still have to carry the table, I'm breaking away from the rest of my company and bought this instead. I couldn't be happier. It carries my stuff flawlessly and packs up real tiny. When you lift the bottom plate the wheels slide in so its only 2 inches thick. It slides under my skirted table and no one is the wiser that it's there. For the money, this is one sturdy cart. I think I remember reading another review where the reviewer stated that they couldn't push it forward as the handle would retract. This is not my experience at all. It locks in 2 positions and I can roll it behind me or in front without a problem. Before spending a fortune, give this a try, you really won't be sorry.
Update: Feb 3rd, 2008
Still at the same job and I use this every day. Still works flawlessly. It's even cheaper now on amazon and a few in my company have seen the light and bought one themselves. Never has it had any mechanical failures and the tires are still in great shape. No regrets here.
Customer Review: Very pleased!
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I did a lot of research before I finally decided on the Magna Cart Personal Hand Truck -- and I'm very happy with my decision.
I keep it in the trunk of my car, and use it at least once a week. I direct a choir for "seniors" at a residential care facility, and need to transport a box or two of music, instruments (kazoos, tamborines, etc.), and assorted costume pieces for my 30 choir members. Many times, I have to park several blocks from the building, so I use the Magna Cart to get my stuff to the building in a single trip.
It seems to manage stairs just fine -- I only have to negotiate 3 or 4 stairs at a time, so I don't know how it would do on long or steep stairs. But the wheels seem to be large enough to handle my needs quite well.
I did get a couple of "bungee" cords to help secure the boxes to the foot plate, but that only set me back about $6 additional.
I've had this hand truck for several months, and it's holding up great. No signs of wear, nothing loose -- looks and behaves like new. It's easy to fold and unfold (lowering the foot plate puts the wheels into position automatically), and takes up very little room in the trunk of my Prius.
All in all, a great investment.
Customer Review: One of the best items I've ever bought. !!!
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
Trust me when I say you will love this little hand truck. Great H.D. aluminum bottom plate and when lowered wheels flip to the rear and lock in place ready to go.
Handle is telescopic and works great. Perfect height makes moving boxes or crates a breeze. I bought this with moving 5gal. water bottles around at work in mind and it works great. I could never move them before and always had to ask someone else to bring them to the water cooler because of a bad back. NOT ANYMORE!!!
Buy this well built little beauty with confidence and order a couple of adjustable bungees while your at it. They strap right to the unit for storage and you always have every thing you need to safely and comfortably move those projects that would hurt anyone's back.
What a great price to boot!!! Worth double the price in saved back pain and possibility of tripping going up or down steps with a load in your hands. No need to ask some one to carry something in to or out of the house when you see them or remember to ask. I keep mine in my truck of the car. Kicking around the idea of one for in the house and the wife's car.
Thanks Amazon for a wonderful product and a even better price.
