Magna Cart Folding Platform Cart, 4-Wheel Rolling Utility Dolly, 300 lb Load Capacity - Portable Transport Trolley with Telescoping Handle for Boxes, Crates, Groceries, Supplies & Equipment

This product has basically saved my life (and my back!) doing 17 move-in/move-outs of my two college-aged kids and my elderly father into senior living and then assisted living, all over the past 6 years. It is easy to fold, lightweight enough for me to throw it into the back of my car, but can also carry a lot of weight. Doesn't take up much space in the basement when not in use. Very maneuverable and holding up well - no problems or complaints at all!

Verdict: Highly recommended! This is a home run for all design goals for us: heavy duty and durable-used for thousands of deliveries, with 300 Lbs. payload capacity that we sometimes exceed, and much more versatile than a hand truck. The 26" x 16" deck is generous, and the handles intrude into the deck space by only 2.5 inches. The cart itself weights a mere 15 Lbs. Highly maneuverable with swivel casters at the front. Quiet rolling design with TPR grey non-marking casters. Handle folds flat into the cutouts in the platform, as do the wheels, so it becomes truly 3.5 inches slender when folded. Unlocking the handle requires pinching 2 plastic red tabs that have endured for 6 straight years, and the instantly wheels unfold to their secure, locked position in one motion. The red tabs move with the handle, and also control 3 height positions that lock in place, so it adjusts even to those who are over 6 feet in height. Important to upkeep the gears and slides that control the carts ability to unfold and fold up. This mean cleaning buildup that sticks to the lubricant used on the gears and slide points that enable the cart to both fold up and unfold. The cart's ability to fold and unfold begins to bind if you use the cart in rain (as we do--frequently) because water gets into the gears and joints and compromises the lubricant that allows the cart's mechanicals to operate without binding. ** I cleaned off the original lubricant, and now use a dry lube PTFE (Teflon) spray that goes on wet, but dries and leaves a Teflon film. I find that this type of lubricant lasts a long time while not attracting and collecting dust unlike light oils that gum up and retain dirt particles.

I finally broke down and purchased this cart after needlessly making double trips to set up for performances. Sine there are well over five hundred reviews already I will give my observations of a few key areas. First, this does an excellent job of rolling over uneven surfaces as well as textured ones like cobblestone. Note that I do not load this anywhere near the weight capacity, so that may account for the ease of rolling. My normal loads are less than fifty pounds. Second, it expands out and folds back in seconds. When I first received it there was an issue with the wheels smoothly and completely folding in for storage, but that problem went away after a few uses and has not resurfaced. Perhaps it needed to be broken in. I stand 5'9" and the handle expands vertically to a height that is both comfortable for me and and easy to control the cart. If I could change anything it would be to add a few inches to the length and width, but as is it is still vastly better than any other hand truck or cart that I have used because it is compact. And, for my loads and use, sturdy. To put my use into context I play 22-25 gigs a month and hand carrying all of the gear we use into and out of venues was time consuming and a cause of aches in my sixty-six year old body. Thus far this has not only diminished the aches and pains, but has also cut set-up and break down time by at least a third. To be totally honest I would replace this immediately if something were to happen to it, and am contemplating purchasing another as a spare. Factor in the way I use mind when making a purchase decision because I am not stressing it to anywhere near its specified limits. Some other reviews have reported issues and you should also factor those in, but for me I am totally pleased with this cart.

Well, this is second time to write a review for these carts. Of course, that's because its my second cart. Still using first but needed another. Bought the first to carry a Bluetti AC200Max and extra batteries and it really worked after Hurricane Milton, so bought another cart and generator. We moved the first through the house after power went out and it had no problem going over rugs, didn't catch wheels on rug and bunch up, stopping it. Used it to carry extra batteries to neighbor's house to charge on his gas generator, very cloudy and panels barely charged. I had gas, he had gas generator. On to cart. Carries up to 300 pounds and folds up. Wheels even fold up like on a plane. Very easy to store if not using. Doesn't take up much room at all. Very happy with these carts, not had a problem with either one. Good value.

First of all, we go to the Aiport a lot!!! My review is geared towards those who may be interested in buying this to eliminate Airport cart fees forever! But you should know that you cannot push this thing standing behind the handle like a shopping cart, or like those carts at the airport. Well you can, you just have very little control. That's because the 2 maneuver/turning wheels are placed on the handle bar end, while the 2 stationary wheels are placed on the other end. So you would push this exactly like how you would push a travel luggage, you drag it by the handle and all your stuff is behind you, or side by side would work too. This cart can hold up to 300 lbs. You can stack only two luggage and be comfortable. You can stack a third if you want, but then the height of the 3 luggage will be higher than the handle. Just need extra care in pushing and steering. Since Airlines' per luggage weight limit is usually 50 lbs, you're looking at 150 lbs for three luggage. So for Airport purposes, you'll never come close to testing their 300 lbs claim, so this cart should last you a long time. This is the only product I know that will pack extremely compact and flat, yet will open up and give you 300 lbs of carriage. I'm giving it a 5 stars because it worked! An old lady at the Airport looked at me and said good idea! Lastly, of course this is only ideal if you're seeing people off from beginning to end. My parents can never handle the Airport alone. So I would park the car, stand in the check-out line with them, and also translate. Once everything is complete, you can fold up the cart and take it home. So if you travel alone, you don't want to take the cart on the airplane, do you? And if you're just dropping people off at the curb, you don't want them to know you have such a cart because then you have to wait. LOL! I know this must be a totally random review for most of you. But for the few who may be thinking about this for the Airport, I hope you appreciate it! I'm going to try and have the stationary wheels and the turning wheels switch places. If I can do that then this thing would be perfect for my purpose! But from the looks of the bolts, it won't be an easy job. Your usual household tools won't work. But where there's a will, there's a way!

To be quite honest, I purchase a lot of products from Amazon, but rarely take out the time to write a review. However, for this product I must say a few words. No I am not throwing around that 4-star rating effortlessly, however the amount of effort I save by using the Flatform 4 should be recognized. I replaced a set of hand-carts with this hand "truck" and I could not be happier. The construction is superb, it folds down and expands in under 10 seconds and holds a great deal of stuff in place while transporting. It is extremely sturdy (it holds more than 300lbs), although I would not make a habit of it. I would presume that you are interested in purchasing this hand truck because of its unique ability to fold down into such a compact size, and you would be right. Even though it can handle such a great deal of weight, the wheels move freely, it never locks up and then folds down into a compact size which is perfect for travel. I personally liked it so much, I bought a second unit which I keep in the trunk of my car at all times. It takes up such little space that I don't even mind or notice it being there. It has come in handy on many occasions. I purchased some office furniture recently and while I had help getting the furniture in the car, my only help getting it out was the Flatform Truck - but boy was it convenient and saved me a great deal of time and stress on my back. Due to it's compact size, it is easily able to carry a hefty load while navigating through tight spaces. Not only that, but it is fairly easy to take over a step-up (not stairs) or a curb for example. This is a very valuable feature that I don't think is really advertised much. If there is a small curb about 6"-8" or so, you can pop it right up over the curb rather than having to look for a ramp. This is very very convenient. I really don't have anything bad to say about the product, and I wish I could have given it 4.5 stars on Amazon. The reason I am not giving it a full 5-star review is because I feel there are a couple of things that could possibly make it better, although these are not a deal-breaker in any way because when compared to the competition this product is still far ahead. However, just to be fair, I will point out that I wish the truck had some sort of a "brake" so if it was placed on a slight incline it might not roll away. Sometimes when I am unloading things from my car, I notice it has the tendency to roll even on a slight hill. The other improvement I think that could be made (while it's not as big of a deal) is when you fold it up, the wheels contract within the base of the truck, however if you are say putting it in your trunk with the portion holding the wheels facing downward, gravity will cause the wheels to flip open on the bottom. This is really not so much of a problem rather than a nuisance since you can easily turn the wheel to tuck it properly in the base. Although when I am storing it in my trunk, I just flip it over so I don't have that issue. Other than these two points, everything else about the truck is perfect and I would definitely buy more products from this company in the future!

This hand truck is unbelievable! It folds nice and flat for easy storage, yet when it is unfolded it is easy to push and maneuver and holds up to 275 lbs. I live in NYC where I often have to park quite a ways away from my apartment, which leaves the daunting task of lugging groceries or large items from Costco several blocks to my home. The common push carts that you see being dragged around NYC don't maneuver well with heavy loads and I have had several of these carts fall apart on me with heavier loads. So, I was really excited when I found this folding compact hand truck on amazon that could hold loads of 275 lbs! As a woman, living in a tiny Manhattan apartment I needed a compact folding hand truck. This hand truck is perfect because it folds flat and does not take up much room in my apartment's small coat closet. Sometimes I also leave it lying flat in the back of my car as it doesn't take up much room. I use this hand truck several times per week depending on the errands that I run. When you first get it it may take a bit of practice to get used to folding it flat but after a couple of attempts it becomes really easy, just follow the instructions. I have managed to balance various loads of items on it, including pieces of furniture on like dressers, baby swings, luggage etc and walk several blocks moving this furniture. When possible I do recommend placing smaller heavier items in stackable plastic bins or boxes which can be secured to the hand truck with bungee cords to keep items from falling off of the cart when you go over curbs or turn the cart. I have been impressed by how many compliments that I have received on this hand truck. Several people that have seen me using this cart on the street have asked me where they can get their own because they have been so impressed by how easy it is to maneuver while carrying a large load. It is definitely a lifesaver for moving heavy objects and it is easy to keep on hand with its compact fold.

I saw a woman in my post office using this product and stopped her to ask what it was and where she got it. She was bringing in boxes for shipping(while I had to make two trips...) Ordered this using amazon prime and I can't say enough about it. I am a 61 year old woman who is orchestrating a long distance pack and move by herself. This cart helps me daily bringing packed boxes out to the car to take to my storage unit, and much easier than the magna hand truck which I also have and use, though this is better for "loads". It is so easy to open and close and fits right in the car.It is VERY well made and heavy duty.Yes, I will agree there are some quirky things about the way it rolls but after using for awhile, I have some suggestions..yes, only the back wheels rotate, but if possible, tip it up and pull it like a hand truck and it goes easily.When you use it for awhile you will get the hang of how to master the easiest way to push or pull it. I do wonder if adding swivel wheels to the front would correct the sometimes awkward navigation situation? Watch your toes in sandals, and your shins, I've whacked and rolled myself and it's painful!It will roll away from you because it doesn't have a brake and you need to train yourself to store it folded wheels up because they are loose. Any small negatives are quickly secondary to the extreme usefulness of this little cart. I even now use it to take laundry to the laundromat, heavy baskets of wet things to dry since I have a washer but no dryer, and the many trips to donate to Goodwill since in my area they don't unload the trunk for you(NY vs. KY)and I have to park in a lot and formerly make many trips..not with this little gem, then I fold it up and carry it out. Have a vet appt in a few weeks for two cats and will use the cart to wheel them in, in their carriers at the same time..the uses for this cart are endless! Am I a happy user of this product. FOR SURE!!

I like it’s design due to the wheel assembly can be stowed when not in use and it saves up space. Although it’s quite heavy but I would say it’s durable.

閉じた状態から、ロック外して開いてタイヤが出て使える状態になるまで３秒、折りたたんでタイヤが引っ込んでロックをかけるまで５～１０秒。たたんだとき、たまにタイヤが半分飛び出た状態になるので手でしまう必要がありますが、それでもほとんど手間に感じることはありません。車輪もしっかりしていて、安心して使用できています。

great that it folds up flat

Muy fácil de transportar, totalmente plegable y fácil de armar y volver a plegar, ideal para las compras en la central de abastos CDMX, realmente la plataforma hace todo el trabajo, una vez cargada es muy fácil de maniobrar. El único punto de oposición que encuentro es que la plataforma debe jalarse por el mango, no se debe empujar. Es decir la mejor posición para maniobrarlo es jalándolo, sin embargo no es incómodo salvo en alguna pendiente de bajada muy pronunciada y con mucha carga en la plataforma, ya que en ese caso deveras tomar la plataforma con mucha fuerza para evitar que te arrastre.

The trolley is very good I had one before.
