Trifold LLC MPHD-1 UpCart Lift All-Terrain Folding Hand Truck (2-Pack)

It is as advertised. It is far superior for going up and down stairs compared to a traditional hand cart. Folds neatly and very compact. When unfolded it is large. The wheels do not seem to click when unfolded and I think the weight is all that holds them extended. Be warned that in the video they show them hauling appliances. I would not haul appliances with this cart. In the video it is a dryer they are hauling which is the lightest of all appliances(50-75 pounds) but don't think about putting a front load washer or a refrigerator on this hand truck. It might even carry a normal size washer a few times. Not saying it is weak because it is not. It's just a side effect of the folding mechanisms and all the joints that justify logically 200 pounds is possible but not an everyday thing. It is fine with three loaded tubs which is definitely not light. The stair climbing ability works perfectly and will manage the impact very well with the tri wheel set up. You will see similar products with smaller wheels and common sense will tell you those will not work as well. The upcart has larger wheels to manage different types of stairs. Good buy in my opinion. I will update if any problems arise.

Purchased this to move a 200 pound safe up a flight of stairs because it was rated for up to 200 pounds. I will stress this because it is important, DO NOT LOAD THIS CLOSE TO THE LIMIT! I made it up 4 steps before the handle came flying out, dropping the 200 pound safe on my leg and falling down the 4 steps it made it up, thankfully not injuring anyone below. Amazon did, thankfully, send out another unit to replace the original one. This time I removed the door from the safe and was able to get it up the stairs without issue. Still didn't completely trust the unit not to fail. I wouldn't recommend this for anything more than about 150 pounds, it's dangerous. As for the second unit they sent out, I discovered recently when one of the wheel sets fell off, that it appears the unit they sent was missing a couple of bolts to hold the wheel sets to the frame. So, they fall off. Not a big deal, I can go to the hardware store, pick up what I need and put some loctite on the threads so that the wheels stay on. However, given the price range, for $20 more, you can get a solid, sturdy 3 wheeled design moving dolly. Yes, it won't be able to fold up and tuck away but it will actually be able to move things, without having to worry about it breaking on you. If I were to do it over again and I had the place to store the dolly, I'd spend the extra $20 and get a real dolly, with a 3 wheel design.

Overall I'm delighted. It's lightweight, easy to handle, and negotiates steps as advertised. It does well over soft surfaces; and 1" loose ground or over sod which it negotiates more easily then loose ground. I have been surprised at how well it will move over soft surfaces. It will climb average height stairs 7" to 8" quite successfully. With additional effort it will accommodate 12" high steps. I am very fond of its skill on steps going both up and down. Fantastic with suitcases!Downsides; load capacity is advertised variously from 200 to 300 pounds. I think those numbers need a bit of qualification. A surface such as cobblestone is fine but not large rough stone. Basically it prefers smooth surfaces for heavy loads. Loaded it does not have a zero turning radius but with a bit of travel it will turn quite short anyway. A significant discomfort occurs with a heavy load that sits low on the platform such as a heavy chunk of concrete. Considerable down pressure is required on the handles to keep the cart from returning to an upright position. With items that are 2 ft. or more in hight the load will balance quite nicely over the wheels.Would I recommend to friends. Absolutely! I already have.

Amazing! I promised myself I was not going to write a review until this Upcart enabled me to do something truly unbelievable. And it did! I bought a room divider that is 6' tall and probably weighs 75 lbs. I am 5'3" and weigh 107 lbs. I also have MS but I was determined to put this to the test. So, I bungee corded the room divider to the UpCart and wheeled it up the stairs to my apartment by myself. it wasn't pretty to watch, I'm sure, and I'm glad nobody was there to videotape it, but it worked and nobody died in the process! Truly a miracle that would not have been possible without the UpCart. I will never attempt anything that crazy again because it was insanely dangerous for me just because of my health, but it was a true test of the UpCart and the UpCart passed with flying colors!

I'd give it 5 stars but I don't trust this thing. The bearing/axel holding the central hub for all three wheels on each side seems cheap and flexes allot. It seems like this thing will break easy and I don't put nearly the weight limit on it.

Handle is so bulky and it is not stable when transporting heavy load less than 200lb. Wheels get twisted when turning without moving. Wheel rims are made of plastic. You need extra effort to get the handle expanded. It is good hand truck for small items like tot and boxes but it is not heavy duty like the company is describing!

So I bought it for our apartment as we used it it broke in half 200 lbs what ever

I am 73, have arthritis in hands, 2 artificial knees, you get the picture. I am a quilter and take my heavy sewing machine to numerous places with stairs. I bought this to make it "easy" to get up and down stairs. It works for 50% of my use. Going down stairs is easy. Going up stairs is minimally better than using the tiny wheels on the sewing machine rolling cart. The cart weighs 11 lbs so you're pul!ing that weight plus the machine. Also, the button to raise the handle is very hard for arthritic hands to push in. Also it is tricky to set the height of the handle. So for my purposes the cart did not meet my expectationsC
