Frequently Asked Questions

How does Wesco compare to lower-priced hand trucks?
The difference between a $75 hand truck and a $200 Wesco industrial-grade unit becomes apparent within 90 days in a Miami high-cycle environment. Wesco's frame gauge, axle quality, and handle grip are built for daily abuse — they pay for themselves in reduced replacement costs.
