Best Hand Trucks of 2025

"This is actually my second Cosco hand truck. My first one, a three-in-one model, served me so well that I decided to purchase the four-in-one version. I love how it converts from a traditional hand truck to a flat bed and can accommodate longer items with its folding toe plate. It's incredibly lightweight, allowing me to lift it in and out of my car with ease, yet it supports a lot of weight. After five years with my first one, I’ve had zero issues, so there was no question about which brand to choose for my second one. I highly recommend it!"

"I spent time researching hand trucks on Amazon and YouTube before choosing the Cosco 4 in 1 Steel HANDTRUCK. After using it while moving my son, I couldn’t be happier. It’s lightweight and maneuvers easily, even up and down stairs and on grass. The assisted dolly mode surprised me by handling the weight of heavy items, making my job much easier. The ability to transform it quickly between configurations is incredibly useful during a big move. I love that the wheels are solid, ensuring they won’t go flat during storage!"

"I needed a convertible dolly for light to medium home use, and this unit has been fantastic. It folds up easily and holds more than I’ll likely ever need, plus the folding bottom plate allows for compact storage next to my tool chest. I was initially concerned about plastic latches, but these seem very sturdy. Overall, I'm really glad I picked this up, even if it feels a bit like overkill for my needs."

"I recently bought the COSCO Shifter Multi-Position Folding Hand Truck in pink, and it has truly exceeded my expectations! It's not just stylish, but incredibly versatile—with a 300 lb. weight capacity, it easily handles heavy loads. The multi-position feature is a game changer for me. I love switching between two-wheel and four-wheel modes. Plus, it folds up compactly, which is perfect for my small apartment!"

"When I first used this cart, I was a bit skeptical, but I was happily proven wrong. It's a solid piece of gear that I use to haul my equipment easily. In vertical mode, it works great, but I found it a bit challenging on rough surfaces in horizontal mode. The small hard wheels could be better, but overall, it's convenient and easy to fold away."

"This cart was a great addition to my moving process. Once I figured out how to open it up—no tools required—I found it to be a fantastic tool. It folds flat, taking up very little space when not in use, making it perfect for my garage to house moves!"

"I found this dolly to be strong and sturdy, and it was incredibly easy to assemble. It made moving boxes and furniture a breeze. After 20 years of heavy use, I passed my old one to friends, and they were amazed at how much easier it made their move. I highly recommend getting the larger pneumatic tires for better performance on various surfaces."

"I purchased this dolly to help load a washer and dryer for repairs, but I ended up assisting a friend in a domestic violence situation. It was just three of us, and we loaded everything quickly. I put this dolly together in about two minutes. It's lightweight and handles beautifully. Even with some rough handling, it held up perfectly. I will definitely buy this brand again if I need another dolly."

"I wanted to replace my old plastic dolly with something more robust, and this one fits the bill perfectly. It's well-made and heavy-duty for all my needs, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable dolly."

"I find this dolly well built and light. I absolutely love it and would recommend it to others!"

"I appreciate the light weight and airless tires, but I wish the top bar was more rounded instead of square. It would have been nice if the ad mentioned 'Airless Tires', as I ended up ordering an additional set before it arrived."

"I really like the design of this product. The aluminum keeps it light and rust-free, and the solid wheels are a great feature. The stair glides make it easier to move items up and down stairs."

"I was pleasantly surprised by the sturdiness of this hand truck. It was easy to assemble—just make sure to push the wheels in until they click. It folds up nicely and is easy to carry when folded, not too large. I put it to the test carrying several boxes over cobblestone and concrete sidewalks. It was stable and gripped the ground well."

"I am truly amazed by this small foldable hand truck! I needed it to remove an old air conditioner, which weighs about 82 lbs. Even though it looked small when I first pulled it out, I decided to give it a try. My son and I loaded the air conditioner onto it, and we were both a bit skeptical, expecting it to break. To our surprise, it held up perfectly! We were able to move it through tight spaces and over uneven surfaces without any issues. This little cart really got the job done!"

"I'm impressed by the quality of this cart. It feels really sturdy and well-made. I can easily fit large boxes on it without feeling overwhelmed by the weight. The wheels are smooth and strong, making it easy to maneuver."

"I found this cart to be perfectly compact and lightweight, making it easy to set up and pack down. I've already recommended it to several co-workers!"

"My experience with this cart has been mixed. I was thrilled with its performance while moving, but after encountering a rough sidewalk, the locking casters malfunctioned. Now, while it's still functional, it feels a bit less stable and disappointing compared to how amazing it was at first."

"I expected this folding hand truck to handle heavy loads, but I was disappointed. It struggles with anything over 100 lbs. and feels flimsy overall. The wheels started wearing out quickly, so I feel it’s overpriced for the quality provided."

"I found the inner diameter of these washers too small to fit inside my wheel."

"It seems hard to find washers that actually work."

"I absolutely love this dolly! It has been reliable for over 5 years, and we even bought a second one after a mishap with a wheel. It's so versatile, switching easily between cart and upright dolly. It rolls smoothly and is surprisingly strong for its weight. I would gladly pay more for this quality!"

"I had to navigate through two subway stations with heavy gear, and this hand truck was a lifesaver. Its lightweight design made it easy to maneuver, and the sturdy frame gives me confidence in its durability. For $61.99, this American-made product is a steal! Just a heads-up: assembly was simple, but one of the nuts was stripped."

"I switched to this nylon truck/cart combination after losing my old hand truck, and so far, it’s been a great choice. It’s much lighter than steel options and easy to lift. I’ve transported up to 260 lbs without issue. The transition between hand cart and wheeled cart is super simple. The design is stable and attractive, but the wheels could be better. Overall, I’m satisfied!"

"I bought this to help haul some computer equipment. I love that it's lightweight and folds away easily for storage. It feels sturdy despite some plastic parts, and I think it will last quite a while for my use."

"As a 78-year-old, I found this folding cart to be a great solution for my needs. It was easy to use and did exactly what I required with very little effort. I highly recommend the FCH Folding Hand Truck Cart!"

"I needed a cart that wouldn't take up much storage space, and this one is perfect for my jobs. It's made moving my large Clivia plants and other items a lot easier. I truly appreciate how it folds flat for storage!"

"I’ve had this hand truck for close to a year and I absolutely love it. I use it to transport stacks of split firewood around the yard and it performs excellently. The aluminum prevents rust, and the large air-filled tires support the weight well while rolling easily. It’s also lightweight and hangs easily in my garage when not in use."

"I received the hand truck yesterday and was eager to build it right away. I chose this model because of my experience with the same exact model at work, which rolls smoothly and is very solid. I do think Magliner could improve the diagrams for assembly, specifically for the cotter pin. Nonetheless, the quality of the packaging and components really impressed me."

"I ordered this Magliner with pneumatic wheels, which are perfect for my gravel driveway. The hand cart is lightweight yet extremely well built. The assembly took me some time, but it was well worth the effort, and I’m thrilled with the overall quality of materials used."
