This folding aluminum platform truck has a small footprint when stowed away but can carry a hefty 330 lbs when put to action. The handle collapses down and folds onto the base, and the base itself retracts to compress its overall profile. When fully extended, the base and handle lock firmly into position. The casters glide smoothly and the handle gives sufficient leverage for pushing or pulling heavy objects. With the handle down, it doubles as a mover's dolly which is probably the best configuration for moving the heaviest objects; the hinge on the handle is the weak spot on this item, although we haven't had any problems to date.

The lightweight, compact-profile of this platform truck makes it the perfect size for keeping with your vehicle for those surprisingly heavy, unplanned purchases. It doesn't do badly on the planned big-boys either, but its real asset is in its inconspicuous stowage. Its light aluminum frame makes it easy to carry and doesn't add much to the weight of the item being transported. The flat platform is also great for moving boxes and computers around the office. This ninja of moving devices is must have item for anyone who even occasionally moves heavy objects unexpectedly to and from their vehicle.

Hint: Using one of Harbor Freight's 20%-off coupons brings the sale price down to $31.99 which is close enough to our target price to make it a "buy" without waiting for it to hit its low mark of $29.99 again.

Bottom line: The aluminum platform compacts neatly for storage but opens up to move over 300 lbs when put to action. It's a great bargain at the target price and not a bad buy at the regular sale price either.
