The Wesco 272048 Professional Series aluminum platform truck has a platform that adjusts in length, a telescopic, folding handle that adjusts in height, and four caster wheels and can be used to transport heavy or bulky loads. The platform truck is made of aluminum, which weighs less than steel and is resistant to rust and corrosion. The platform adjusts from 29-1/2" long to 21" long to fit the load. The telescopic handle adjusts in height up to 36-1/2", can be folded flat for storage, and can be used to control and maneuver the platform truck. A rubber coating on the handle provides a secure grip. The mold-on rubber caster wheels measure 4 inches in diameter, absorb shocks and vibrations, won't deflate or scratch floors, and are resistant to wear. Two of the caster wheels swivel for maneuverability. This platform truck has a load capacity of 330 lb., weighs 16 lb., and measures 17-1/2" wide and 36-1/2" high when the handle is extended. The platform measures 29-1/2" long when extended and 21" long when retracted.

Hand trucks, also known as two-wheeled dollies, are used to transport heavy or bulky items, especially in commercial product distribution and delivery. Hand trucks are L-shaped, with handles at the top, two wheels at the bottom, and a small platform that touches the ground when the truck is upright. A load is placed on the platform and the truck is leaned back, balancing the weight over the wheels. Powered hand trucks have a platform that lifts the load up, or lowers it down, to reduce human labor. Some hand trucks may be convertible to platform trucks for moving large or cumbersome loads. Others fold flat for storage.

Wesco manufactures material handling equipment. The company, founded in 1948, is headquartered in North Wales, PA.
