I was hauling a large rack down the side of a house and noticed my existing hand truck (which wasn't very good in the first place) is starting to fail.
I've been thinking of getting a new one, and this time one that will last beyond my years.
Not sure where to start looking (brands), so I'm wondering if anyone out there has any recommendations.
Those aluminum beasts that UPS drivers use are hella cool, but I'm not sure I want to spend the dollars I expect those would cost.
I don't want an actual appliance dolly but I would like one that could handle the occasional refrigerator in a pinch.

"Aficionado" would be a bit extreme for anyone's hand truck interest unless it were an actual fetish. On the othe rhand, these guys could have used one: . It's 29 minutes long, but memorable. And those 'sidewalks' still exist north of downtown Los Angeles.

Not cheap but going on 15 years of trouble free usage. It used to see the max weight on it every day when I owned a courier business. Since then, I have had fully loaded 44sp Middle Atlantic racks on it among other big, heavy things.
I am a trained professional..... Do not attempt this stunt at home.
Some of the ones listed above look nice. Ours seems to have a flat tire everytime we need to use it...I said the fill the tires with the slime to seal them up but hasn't been done yet
There's no worse feeling than that millisecond you're sure you are going to die after leaning your chair back a little too far.
But, if I had your kind of money, I'd just hire someone, or get one of the $2,000.00 electric ones... ;-)
That Global looks nice and the price is reasonable (for what you get).
Am I wrong to desire a truck with real pneumatic tires and and actual set of wheel bearings? As opposed to hard plastic tires on a spindle, held on by a frigging cotter pin?
I'm also questioning the need for the convertible 4 wheel design. My existing one that I've had since 1983 converts... and I can count on 1 hand how many times I've needed that capability. Have I used that feature? Yes. Waaayyy less than 1% of the time though.
If it waters down the design or capability of the 2 wheel functionality...no...or of it adds greatly to the cost....no.
As to who (Glack) posted that their pneumatic had a perpetual flat tire....that is why they make "fix-a-flat".. $5...done.

I use this one for years, pneumatic tires and if I need to move something big I use a ratcheting tie down, and i have moved much big heavy thing with it.
