The relationship between the pivoting axle with locking bar and the curved base is what makes Bailey Hand Trucks the trusted choice of businesses Australia wide.
The pivoting axle allows the user to shift the load’s centre of gravity while the curved base allows for a smooth motion when tilting the load. These two components working together reduce the effective load weight by distributing it over the axle in both the free standing and in-transit positions, therefore our hand trucks are better balanced and much easier to move.
The patented axle also enables the operator to stand upright with a straight back with no pressure bearing on the spine. This increases productivity and reduces the likelihood of injury.
To move a load: Press firmly on the foot lever to disengage the locking axle. Carefully pull back on hand truck and let the load ease back on the curved base until a “click” is heard, indicating the locking axle has re-engaged. The load is now supported by both the wheels and the base, ready for transit.
Bringing the load upright: Press foot lever to disengage locking axle. Carefully push the hand truck forward until a “click” is heard indicating the locking axle has engaged.
