I bought this climbing cart to haul up 40 pound boxes of cat litter from my SUV and upstairs to the cats room. It works great! It is so much easier than carrying these boxes. I am just using my arms and saving the stress on my knees and back.

Great quality but be aware
I’m a 5 foot 1 adult woman. My common sense lacked me when I bought this . While it does make things easier to transport from the house to the car and from the car to the house , if you need to climb stairs – hence the many wheels on it and probably why you’re looking to get it , be advised that you will need to pull the weight of all you stack on it , each step at a time . Think about it – you have 5 heavy boxes stacked and you got to the stairs – to pull it up the first step, you literally need to pull the entire weight up against that step and up .
I made the mister to stack medium heavy boxes and by the time I went half way up the stairs , my back was DONE and I was completely out of breath.
If you’re small and think this will help you ,take it form me , you WILL end up having your man do it anyway .
After two trips I literally rather take EACH BOX in my hand walk up and down the stairs 20 times rather than use this thing .

Sturdy and smooth on flat ground.
I recently moved into a third floor apartment that has no elevator. I purchased this climbing cart in anticipation of using it for my daily needs. It does work quite well, holding heavy items and is really easy to maneuver and fold up. I keep it in my car at all times.
The only thing I don’t care for is the stair feature. Although the wheels do flip/climb as you go up the stairs, they aren’t really large enough to do the job without seriously jarring the item on the cart. All in all, it’s a good product, but I do wish I would’ve bought the larger one with the bigger wheels on it.

So far, so good
I bought this to tote some milk crates full of books downstairs (one at a time, since I wasn’t sure I could handle moving the weight on the stairs by myself), and also my laundry. The wheels worked great – really hugged the carpeted steps and gave me better control than a regular portable hand-truck. I also like the multi-directional wheels, which I decided to use (came with the item), and the adjustable handle. Those wheels allowed me to glide the loaded hand-truck on a level surface without having to keep it tilted, and the handle could be set to a good height for me whether going down/up stairs or moving on a flat surface. The included bungees are very good, too. Overall, a very hand item.

The only drawbacks are (which rated only 4 stars):
– you need to tilt the hand-truck back in order to safely load heavier items/distribute the weight. As a precaution, it’s best to do so with some kind of support (a wall, perhaps) at the back to make sure it stays positioned properly when you’ve loaded it.
– when the hand-truck is empty and standing up open, the stair-climbing wheels at the rear are not counter-weighted, so the hand-truck falls over backwards. It needs to be leaned up against a wall (or something) to keep it straight up when not loaded.
– the instructions did not indicate that the wheels suddenly snap out when opening the base and vice-versa, so WATCH OUT.

I have a similar cart but wanted to get this one because it has 4 extra smaller wheels at the base. These 4 smaller wheels are like those used for some luggages that swivel 360 degrees. So you can just push this cart upright as you would with a luggage. Plus they do give extra support for the handcart as well on heavier items. When assembling these 4 wheels, make sure you use the right bolts for the back and front. The ones on the back are a little longer than the ones at the front. Even though the little spanner is included, I had to use a home wrench to really tighten these bolts just in case. The Alloy Steel base and frame are very strong and sturdy, should be able to hold up to the maximum recommended weight - 220 lbs, with no issuea. The top handle bar is well padded for extra comfort and grip while the telescopic handle is very easy and smooth during extending or retracting with just a push of the button on the middle bridge cross bar. Folding and setting up the cart for use is also very intuitive as well. Just pull up the base to fold or push down the base to use and the 6 back wheels will closed or open out respectively. The rotating stair climbing wheels on the back are solid, no need to worry about punctures and can be replaced easily when needed. They seem very durable though and should last for a long time when used as recommended. Great for office use or take along when traveling as well, not too heavy or bulky to carry for the trip. Rolls well up and downstairs, works even better on flat, smooth surfaces. No issues and very useful for me so far.
