The frame has a noseplate that measures 14 x 8 inches (W x D), and it measures 22.5 x 18.5 x 48 inches (W x D x H) overall. (W is width, the horizontal distance from left to right; D is depth, the horizontal distance from front to back; H is height, the vertical distance from bottom to top.) It has a swept-back handle for one-handed and two-handed control, four horizontal cross straps and a vertical center strap for small package support, and two 10″ semi-pneumatic wheels for maneuverability. The cross braces are ribbed and the joints are double welded for strength. This hand truck with curved back and semi-pneumatic wheels is suitable for use in industrial and commercial material handling applications.

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 tilted 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 under the Wesco and Lexco brands. The company, founded in 1948, is headquartered in North Wales, PA.
