By

 
From piles of trash to furniture and large pieces of equipment, home restoration and recovery teams have a wide range of items to move. The right material handling tools can streamline these tasks, reducing the time it takes to move items and materials out of the area. From the classic 2 wheel dolly to heavy duty hand trucks, here are three material handling tools your team needs.

 A Classic Hand Truck for Moving Everyday Items

Whether it’s flooring, boxes of chemicals for the remediation work, or smaller pieces of equipment, a 2 wheel dolly can help your employees move items quickly and efficiently. If your company does both mitigation and restoration, your employees can wheel boxes of supplies in for the restoration without having to carry them by hand. From demo to full restoration, a classic hand truck will make every step of the job more efficient for your employees.

A Convertible Hand Truck for Oddly-Shaped Materials

A convertible hand truck dolly is a versatile material handling option, especially for ground-floor restorations. While it can function as a classic upright dolly, it can also convert to a horizontal hand truck in four-wheel mode. This is convenient for moving ripped-up flooring and drywall, or other oddly-shaped items. It offers a higher weight capacity of 1,000 pounds in four-wheel mode as well. When the task is done, it takes just seconds to convert back to the upright configuration.

A Heavy Duty Hand Truck for Bulky Items

When your team needs to move heavy equipment, such as fans or dehydrators, an appliance moving hand truck is the perfect solution. These heavy duty hand trucks can handle large, heavy items weighing up to 800 pounds, such as fans, appliances, bathroom fixtures, and more. Find an appliance hand truck with optional side wings, a self-retracting ratchet strap, and a fourth wheel assembly to expand the hand truck’s utility.
