Lend a Helping Hand Truck

A NOTE FROM THE FUTURE: Sad to say that the handtrucks.com site doesn’t really exist any more. But thehandtruckcompany.com does!

The other day I was dropping off some wine for a recent event that Swirl Events was hosting. Anu, Swirl’s founder, and I got to talking about…no, not the wine I was dropping off, nor the event she was planning, nor any wonderful wines we had recently come across in our vast wine-drinking experience. We were talking about the hand truck I was using.

And it is a fabulous hand truck. It’s a Wesco Superlite Folding Hand Truck. Big rubber wheels, a retractable handle. Like the name says, it’s superlite and folds up to such a small size that on the way home from a delivery, I can just hang it over my shoulder and tuck it under my arm like a big purse…with wheels.

I love my hand truck. And no, you can’t borrow it. Buy your own at handtrucks.com (yes, this site really exists.)
