Milwaukee 30087 Hand Truck - Solid Platform & 10" Pneumatic Tires for Heavy-Duty Transport

Tawmbooks: Very sturdy and versatile. Maneuverable and high quality. My only issue is with one of the tires, which slowly deflates over time when stored away. A bicycle pump fills it back up easily. Even so, I prefer the inflatable tires over solid tires - easier to roll, and a smoother ride for the load. Overall, top marks to Milwaukee. Made in the USA!

Jose Flores: Bought 1 a couple of years back at a Canadian Tire and had been looking for another for a while now, and I've worked with it every day never letting me down and so when I found it on Amazon I rushed to buy another. If you're on the ropes about getting 1 well don't think about it too much because it's a great product, just don't go around and try moving appliances with it

Lynne Cantwell: This hand truck is one of the best purchases I ever made. We recently moved to a new apartment in the same building, and I figured it would be easy enough that we wouldn't need to hire movers. Oh haha. The only thing that kept us from killing one another was this hand truck. In the upright position, it carried all the empty moving boxes we purchased (we strapped them to the hand truck with bungee cords). In the flatbed position, it handled all of our boxes and a good portion of our furniture. The "floor" kept stuff from falling through the bars of the frame or shifting awkwardly in transit.

I did notice a smell from the rubber tires, but it wasn't overpowering to me. I could see how others might be more sensitive to the smell, though.

I have another hand truck -- smaller and with no floor. This one is light years better. I'm getting rid of the old one and keeping this one!

~*~ Sunshine ~*~: This is a heavy duty and really useful convertible hand truck/utility cart. We've owned it for a couple of months now and it's saved our backs, time, and strength numerous times. We're doing some construction on our property so it was a practical purchase for us at this time but I anticipate it's usefulness and durability for the next few decades, at least.

It is easily convertible from the hand truck to the cart and the smooth flatbed helps move loads securely as well as more conveniently. The tires move over even uneven ground quite well. I did not experience the extreme odor that many have mentioned, even when it was new. After 2 months, I went to check on it in our garage again just to verify this and I could only smell the tires if I put my nose within a foot of them, and I am usually quite sensitive to odors. Maybe ours was older stock but I never felt that the smell was unusual or off-putting. I love the cart and highly recommend it if you're considering purchasing one.

11-21-15 - We have used this numerous times since I wrote the initial review. I'd guess we use it as a cart the most to move heavier things over distances that would be a strain to carry. I've...

Chief: I bought this hand truck to serve "now" as a "computer cart" to move my large computer, printer and Bose sound system in and out of the house for real estate showings as I'm selling the house and don't want these items in the house when showing it to prospective buyers. I figured the flat metal back would serve this purpose well when used as a cart. Well it does work as I intended however the flat metal back is not flush with the rails as it is slightly recessed about 1/4 inch. It would be perfect if it was flush with the front surface of the rail. I plan to use this hand truck "later" as a hand truck and cart to help me move to my new future home. It's heavy duty for sure.

Now there IS a BIG issue (caveat) with the tires as regards to odor. The pneumatic tires have an EXTREMELY POWERFUL and PERMEATING odor very similar to the smell of creosote. As a result of this odor you CANNOT store/have this hand truck inside a living space, and not really even in the garage...no joke. I learned this from another Milwaukee hand truck I bought (see my review of this other hand truck here:...

Grandpere: We got this because some thief thought that our old hand truck would be better for them instead of leaving it with us, And I am almost glad someone stole our old one as this hand truck has been a real God send for us. I like being able to convert it to a cart and hauling boxes--we are in the process of moving--and grocery paper bags. My wife and I a re both disabled and this really helps us to get stuff in and out of our apartment--we live on the ground floor. There are 2 things that are a problem. The first is when using this as a hand truck, the small wheels get in the road and sometimes make maneuvering difficult. The other thing is a quality control problem, when the company welded on the brackets to hold the handle in the cart position they got a big glob of welding material inside the holder and so the handle does not fit down all the way the cotter key does not go through the hole. Instead of sending it back, I just drilled a new hole through the handle and it works fine.
