The Material Handling Solutions for Your Summer Entertainment or Sporting Event
Posted by Magliner on July 8th, 2021
The public appetite for summer concerts, sports, and other events has rarely, if ever, been keener. That’s reflected by the summer’s packed event schedule. As profitable and rewarding as those events are, they require a considerable amount of work to make happen. That work is virtually always safer and more efficient with the right material handling equipment.
The Traditional Hand Truck for General Transportation
Setting up and breaking down everything necessary for a successful concert or event is best accomplished with a variety of material handling equipment. An invaluable part of that material handling fleet is the traditional hand truck. Traditional hand trucks or dollies are beneficial for transporting tools, cases of drinks and bottled water, equipment, and anything else that needs to be moved from point A to point B.
The Convertible Hand Truck to Move Awkward Items
Convertible hand trucks, also known as collapsible hand trucks, are like traditional hand trucks but provide an additional level of versatility. A traditional hand truck is exclusively operated in a vertical orientation, while a convertible hand truck can be operated in both a vertical and horizontal orientation. The horizontal configuration provides considerably more platform space, allowing for more efficient transportation of anything that won’t fit safely or comfortably on a traditional hand truck’s nose.
The Powered Hand Truck for Heavy Loads and Tent Poles
There is a wide selection of powered hand truck models that can prove invaluable for summer concert and event material handling. For instance, a motorized u boat can be used to safely move up to 1000 pounds, including multiple kegs at once when used with a keg mover. A motorized hand truck can likewise transport up to 1000 pounds, and with aggressively treaded pneumatic tires, can do so indoors and outdoors. Motorized hand trucks can be equipped with attachments, including a traditional platform, a trailer hitch, and even a tent pole pusher to make raising tents quick and easy. Powered hand trucks are also an effective option for the transportation of portable toilets, a must for virtually any outdoor concert or event.
The Powered Lifting Hand Truck to Handle Kegs
While something like a motorized u boat is capable of moving as many as five or six kegs at once, it is not a particularly practical option when space is limited. A powered lifting hand truck provides the benefit of powered lifting assistance with a hand truck that is about the same size as a traditional hand truck. Its modest size and powered lifting capacity of up to 500 pounds are ideal for maneuvering and lifting heavy loads in tight spaces. The powered lifting hand truck is popular for lifting kegs and is capable of handily transporting two full kegs at once. It can prove the perfect material handling solution for an event’s drink concessions or beer garden.
