Makinex Powered Hand Truck PHT-140

The Makinex Powered Hand Truck PHT-140 is a universal materials handling solution that enables one-person operation for safely lifting and loading small equipment or bulky goods weighing up to 140 kg. Providing a quick and easy alternative to using a forklift or tailgate loader for small loads, the hand truck has many applications including: workshops, warehouses, factories, depots, distribution companies, and hire and rental yards.

It features powered lift via a 12 V 25 A linear actuator and is easy to operate. The lifting-arm reach is controlled by the user lifting or lowering the handles and arm height is controlled via a simple thumb switch. The one-person operation design allows the user to lift and load directly into vehicles (trucks, vans, utes and cars) or to place equipment and small loads on benchtops. It eliminates awkward and dangerous one- or two-person lifts and is claimed to reduce the incidence of back and other injuries caused by heavy lifting.

The hand truck is lightweight and easy to manoeuvre. After use it can be folded down flat for easy transport and storage. It comes standard with a hook attachment for lifting, moving and loading small equipment and machinery fitted with a lifting eye, eg, water pumps, generators, air compressors, plate compactors, etc. A fork attachment for lifting, moving and loading small pallets and skids is an optional extra.
