Design & Handling
The Ryobi RY142711's mobility is greatly enhanced by its hand truck design. Built to endure, the steel tubing frame ensures the assembly's longevity by providing stability and safeguarding internal components under all working conditions. The foam-padded fixed handle adds to the RY142711 convenience of transport, while offering a comfortable grip.
Weighing 50 lbs, this unit offers a manageable weight that allows for easy handling by most individuals. This substantial weight can be partially attributed to the incorporation of the motor and a resilient steel tubing frame. Yet, its two 12" never-flat wheels ensure the RY142711 remains effortlessly maneuverable.
