Customers have mixed opinions about the ease of use of the material handling truck. Some find it easy to use and able to unfold and refold it without using the instructions. Others however, say that it's heavy, difficult to manage, and the instructions are not easy to follow. They also mention that the cart is not convenient to use when flying and that the instructions were not easy. Overall, the opinions are mixed and it'd be best to read the reviews carefully before making a purchase.

46 customers mention4 positive42 negative

Customers are not satisfied with the sturdiness of the material handling truck. They mention that it's not sturdy, it will not hold up to prolonged use, and that the handle is flimsy at best.

They say the handle and flip-down support leg are floppy and that it didn't survive one flight.

"...The flip-down support leg kept collapsing, causing the bag and hand truck to fall over...." Read more

"...Is it only good for bags or carry on bags; it does not hold too much weight so don’t try rolling an actual suitcase with it." Read more

"...I decided to return mine the next day for lack of confidence for holding up BUT I also am watching for updates to this & will definitely reorder..." Read more

31 customers mention5 positive26 negative

Customers are disappointed with the quality of the material handling truck. They say it's a great concept, but not so good in reality. Some customers also mention that the parts are cheap and soft plastic. They feel it'd be better off buying a different product.

Defect or wrong part?
3 Stars
Defect or wrong part?
Just received this item yesterday. I’m sending back. One of the arms doesn’t lock into place. If you look at the photos, you can see that the inside plastic piece is pushing it out of alignment for the piece to click in properly. The arms for both wheels are exactly the same right and left. However, it looks like, in the design, they should actually be mirrored with the inside plastic piece swapped to the other side. Then it potentially could line up properly. Perhaps my design device was installed with the wrong arm? Or it’s a design flaw?UPDATE: Second device shipped actually works correctly. It functions as intended. This will work with light use but not recommended for heavy items and don’t expect it to last 20+ uses. The wheels are small and thin (half the size of inline skate wheels). I’m upgrading my review from 1 star to 3 star.

1.0 out of 5 stars Clever concept, poor execution
Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2022

This product is based on a good idea: it is light and folds down easily to the size of a book. However, materials are cheap and thin and the hand truck collapses during use. Attached to my fairly lightweight shoulder bag, the bars supporting the handle twisted loosely, pushing the bag off the platform. The flip-down support leg kept collapsing, causing the bag and hand truck to fall over. Worst, the metal side supports quickly worked themselves back to folded position using use, causing the corners of the bag to drag on the ground. Despite stopping frequently to readjust everything, my expensive bag dragged on the sidewalk enough to ruin it - there are now holes on two bottom corners. I pretty quickly gave up, threw the hand truck in the bag to return for a refund, and carried the bag. Do not recommend.

This is very useful when traveling with a large carry on bag that you don’t want to have to carry around a busy airport. Is it only good for bags or carry on bags; it does not hold too much weight so don’t try rolling an actual suitcase with it.

Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2024

I travel with a large personal item only. It just barely fits under the seat. So, it is stuffed and heavy and I am an older woman. Running through the airport with it on my shoulder is exhausting. I needed something that would fold, fit in my bag and not add much weight. This was perfect. I don't find it hard to assemble but its not meant for really heavy stuff or for being treated roughly in any way. I need to put my bag on it in a way where it is not overly heavy on one side or the other and I pull it with some care being extra mindful of it on any escalator. Like I said it works for me. I do not think it is in any way appropriate for an actual "carry on" size bag unless its on the smaller side, like a backpack or other cloth bag that might actually fit (or come close to fitting) under the seat.

2.0 out of 5 stars Great at Being Carried (in the Bag It's Supposed to Carry), and Dumping Your Bag into Road Goo
Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2023
Verified Purchase
Say you have a heavy messenger bag and you don't want to have to carry it everywhere. To the untrained eye, this gadget seems like the perfect solution. Roll your bag around, and then pop the compact, folded hand truck into the bag. Perfect! You rub your hands in glee. Finally, you won't have to schlep around like the Hunchback of Notre Dame with your 40-lb bag slung over your shoulder.

When you first get it, you of course will want to test it. Just a normal day--not zipping through a busy airport around other people and down escalators and such. Not walking all around town or through big parking garages. No, you'll use it to roll your bag from the house to the car (say, 35-45 feet) and then from the car to your office building (say, 150 feet) and up to your workstation via the elevator. That's all.

As it's a folding hand truck that's going to be carrying a bag, you'll assume that during this test, it will fold up, unfold, carry your bag, roll, and stand by itself when not rolling. These seem like reasonable expectations.

First off, you'll note in satisfaction that the bungee totally holds your bag securely to the hand truck. This bungee is definitely a go. You will have no problem keeping your bag firmly attached to the hand truck with it.

Once the bag is attached, as you let go, the next feature you'll notice is that both your bag and the entire hand truck will fall forward and crash to the ground. That'll be due to the fact that the part that is supposed to be the "third leg" (acting in addition to the two wheels) is made to fold flat when the hand truck is folded. That is cool when you're folding the hand truck, but when you want the hand truck to be unfolded and stay upright, there's no way to lock that piece in place, so it will just randomly decide to fold back in whenever the mood hits it. Thanks to the reliable bungee that's holding your bag on, the weight of your bag will pull the entire hand truck forward, too.

Therefore, once you get rolling, you'll soon learn that if you let go for any reason, your bag will possibly immediately flop into whatever rain puddle or grease smear is handy at the time. It's a crap shoot. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. An added bonus feature is that this foldout part also happens to be cheap plastic. And let me tell you, cheap plastic definitely does the job of crashing your bag to the ground at warp speed. None of that pesky hesitation that, say, a strong metal leg with a locking mechanism might have given you. No, siree, this thing is built to fall, and fall fast. Your $800 bag will soon be covered in road grit.

Now let's move on to the rolling part. It starts out with a nice smooth roll, deceiving you into thinking that you'll have a great experience wafting across the parking lot like a ballroom dancer with your bag obediently in tow. Nothing could be further from the truth, however, as just when you get up to a decent speed, you'll get that sudden feeling of "shopping cart wheel with something stuck on it" which sends you skidding along until you stop to see what's going on.

What's going on is that the wheels have turned inward so they no longer roll. And THAT, my friend, is the next important feature. You see, the wheels are made to fold flat, too — which in itself is pretty cool when stuffing the folded hand truck in your bag. However, when you want the cart to roll, you have to turn them at right angles, parallel to each other, and unfortunately, nothing really locks them into place that way.

Now, I know what you're going to say. What about that little part that slots into the other little part to lock the wheels into place? Well, technically, those parts exist... but both of them are cheap, soft plastic, too. So they don't click neatly in place and stay there. They're not really committed. They slide vaguely around like people at a singles bar who haven't decided on a date yet. Sure, they're sitting in this booth now, but at the next opportunity, they'll slide out and go looking for something better. So, as you're rolling along, this wishy-washy plastic vaguely decides it doesn't want to stay locked, and the wheels gradually turn inward or outward, turning your bag into a rookie skier who can't get his skis in line long enough to get down the bunny slope. Or at least across the parking lot.

As a result, this little baby goes from rolling to dragging in no time flat. You'll be amazed at how, just going across a small parking lot to the front door of the building and then into the elevator and across a short office space, your wheels will flip into "drag" mode and you'll have to stop and fix them three whole times (once while the UPS delivery guy is laughing at you from his van because, of course, as soon as you stop to see what's wrong, you let go and the whole thing crashes forward onto the ground into a pile of dust). But that bungee will definitely do its job as you finally just pick the bag up and carry it with the hand truck still attached, so you can at least make it to your desk before you have to leave again for lunch.

Then there's the "lock" that supposedly fixes the base platform at a 90-degree angle when unfolded. That's plastic too. Not only does it not lock, it doesn't move much at all. Certainly not enough to do anything. You will play with it in puzzlement, looking at the vague drawing on the instructions, clearly showing it moving, and you'll notice there seems to be a slot for it to slide into, but alas, it's frozen in place like the awkward guy at the singles bar. Eventually, you'll realize this is the lock that's meant to hold the bottom platform in place, and the fact that it doesn't move (or lock) is probably a factor in helping your bag crash so quickly to the ground.

But you'll be impressed with the two wire "wings" that pull out as a platform for your bag. These basically work fine. Know what they're made of? Metal. Metal is good. You'll stare at these and then the rest of the parts, pondering how it would be good if the locking parts were ALL made of this amazing stuff. It's strong, and stiff, and it actually holds things in place. Surely locking mechanisms that use metal would stay locked. And you'll wonder how the designers missed this concept.

But you'll get a clue on that when examining the wheel "locks" (that don't lock) more closely because you'll be pretty sure whoever designed (or assembled) it was definitely drunk. The screws that hold the plastic pieces on aren't even screwed all the way in. They are sticking out like someone either used screws that are way too long for the parts, or like maybe just didn't want to totally commit.

And at the end of the day, as you carry your bag to the car like the Hunchback of Notre Dame, with this hand truck folded neatly inside adding another pound or so of weight, you'll think maybe you don't want to totally commit, either. You'll wonder why you paid $43-plus for a folding hand truck that doesn't roll, doesn't stand up, and requires you to carry your bag everywhere. The only two things it is useful for are dumping your $800 bag into a puddle, and folding. It's very, very good at folding — even when you don't want it to. And it's also great at being carried in the bag it's supposed to carry. You'll wish you could keep the bungee, which never let you down... but alas, it's not worth the $43, and so you'll have to return it when you return the rest. And you will. Because there's got to be a better use for $43.

I had a hard time when I tried to maneuver it across even wooden floors. Carpeted areas like those at the airport the wheels kept turning instead of locking in a straight forward position. I ended up not using them at the airport. I feel they are not worth the money. GREAT idea with folding up and being small, just the wheels need improvement.

It is easily stored in your carryon item. Somewhat awkward to assemble while in the airport. Wheels become unaligned while using.
