The Material Handling Solutions for Your Summer Entertainment or Sporting Event
The
public appetite for summer concerts, sports, and other events has
rarely, if ever, been keener. That’s reflected by the summer’s packed
event schedule. As profitable and rewarding as those events are, they
require a considerable amount of work to make happen. That work is
virtually always safer and more efficient with the right material
handling equipment.

The Traditional Hand Truck for General Transportation
Setting
up and breaking down everything necessary for a successful concert or
event is best accomplished with a variety of material handling
equipment. An invaluable part of that material handling fleet is the
traditional hand truck. Traditional hand trucks or dollies are
beneficial for transporting tools, cases of drinks and bottled water,
equipment, and anything else that needs to be moved from point A to
point B.
The Convertible Hand Truck to Move Awkward Items
Convertible hand trucks, also known as collapsible hand trucks, are
like traditional hand trucks but provide an additional level of
versatility. A traditional hand truck is exclusively operated in a
vertical orientation, while a convertible hand truck
can be operated in both a vertical and horizontal orientation. The
horizontal configuration provides considerably more platform space,
allowing for more efficient transportation of anything that won’t fit
safely or comfortably on a traditional hand truck’s nose.
The Powered Hand Truck for Heavy Loads and Tent Poles
There is a wide selection of powered hand truck
models that can prove invaluable for summer concert and event material
handling. For instance, a motorized u boat can be used to safely move up
to 1000 pounds, including multiple kegs at once when used with a keg
mover. A motorized hand truck can likewise transport up to 1000 pounds,
and with aggressively treaded pneumatic tires, can do so indoors and
outdoors. Motorized hand trucks can be equipped with attachments,
including a traditional platform, a trailer hitch, and even a tent pole
pusher to make raising tents quick and easy. Powered hand trucks are
also an effective option for the transportation of portable toilets, a
must for virtually any outdoor concert or event.
The Powered Lifting Hand Truck to Handle Kegs
While
something like a motorized u boat is capable of moving as many as five
or six kegs at once, it is not a particularly practical option when
space is limited. A powered lifting hand truck provides the benefit of
powered lifting assistance with a hand truck that is about the same size
as a traditional hand truck. Its modest size and powered lifting
capacity of up to 500 pounds are ideal for maneuvering and lifting heavy
loads in tight spaces. The powered lifting hand truck is popular for
lifting kegs and is capable of handily transporting two full kegs at
once. It can prove the perfect material handling solution for an event’s
drink concessions or beer garden.
