Title: "Appliance" hand trucks - Prices?
Post by: Santoro on March 16, 2004, 11:23:47 am
Anyone got a good deal on one of these?  Lowe's had them for $99, I was wondering if they could be had cheaper.

I am referring to one like this:

$99 is a pretty good price. You could also try Harbor Freight Tools if you have a store near you.

If you have a "Northern Tool" store near you, you can get one much cheaper.  In their ad last Sunday, they advertise one capable of 600 pounds for $15 or $20, I can't recall exactly!

If you go to http://www.northerntool.com and search for "hand truck", I believe it was the second one in the list which they show as being $25 online.  The first one for $20 that converts into a flat cart is also interesting.

Quality might not be great, but for occasional use, I think it would hold up.

They have 44 stores in 10 states, check for one near you:

Good luck,
Dave

I'd rent a good one from U-Haul before I bought a cheap appliance dolly.

Sam's Club has a nice one that's less than $99.  I think it was around $50, but I don't remember exactly.  It was nicer than they had at Lowes.
