Milwaukee 40179 Convertible Hand Truck
The Milwaukee 40179 Convertible Hand Truck is a versatile and durable material handling solution designed to move heavy or bulky loads efficiently. Built with a rugged steel frame and high-quality components, this convertible hand truck easily transforms from a traditional two-wheel hand truck into a four-wheel platform cart, allowing users to transport a wide range of items in warehouses, delivery operations, retail environments, and job sites.
With a dependable 600 lb load capacity, the Milwaukee 40179 provides the strength needed for handling boxes, equipment, and supplies while reducing strain on workers. The truck is equipped with 8-inch solid puncture-proof rubber tires that provide smooth rolling performance and eliminate the risk of flats during daily use. When converted to platform mode, 4-inch swivel poly casters offer excellent maneuverability for moving larger loads across floors and tight spaces.
The convertible design allows the unit to transition quickly between upright and platform positions. In the upright configuration, the 8" x 14" toe plate easily slides under loads to provide stable lifting and transport. When used as a platform cart, the 12" x 36" deck provides additional space for transporting larger items or multiple boxes at once. This flexibility makes the hand truck an excellent all-around tool for material handling applications.
A flow-back handle design allows for comfortable one-hand or two-hand operation, giving operators better control when moving heavy loads. Wheel guards help protect cargo from the tires, while the powder-coated steel construction provides long-lasting durability in demanding work environments. The hand truck weighs approximately 32 pounds and features an adjustable height that extends up to 61 inches.
