Amazon.com Product Description
Ideal for travelers, trade show exhibitors, and anyone else who frequently schleps boxes and other gear from place to place, the Magna Cart personal hand truck is engineered with toughness in mind. The 7-pound hand truck is made of sturdy rustproof aluminum, with a telescoping handle that extends to 39 inches tall. As a result, both tall and short users can comfortably haul up to 150 pounds at once. The 5-inch rubber wheels, meanwhile, roll smoothly on virtually any surface, from pavement to trim carpet to linoleum. Best of all, the truck folds up compactly for storage or carrying, with a footprint of only 25 inches tall and 2 inches wide. The hand truck's narrow profile makes it ideal for carrying on planes (it fits easily in overhead compartments), trains, and cars, and when you're not using it, simply hang it on a peg in the garage or stow it next to the fridge.

 As good as it gets November 21, 2008
I've worked in the construction field for years (but am now in computers) and I've used dozens of hand trucks of various makes. We've recently moved and to make things easier I decided to buy my own hand truck. We shopped the usual suspects--Northern Tool, Harbor Freight, Home Depot. I kept asking myself, "Where am I going to keep the truck after I'm done using it now?" Face it: most hand trucks would take up a small closet.
So I started poking around on Amazon and found this. I read all the reviews and thought "I'll take the chance." Smart move!
This is a wonderfully compact hand truck that fits in the gap beside my dresser and the wall, or practically anywhere.
I've stacked three 1.5 cubic foot boxes of books on it and moved them from the house, over the grass, to the shed for storage. No problem.
The way the wheels are designed it handles steps as easily as the bigger units.
I'm tall so I'd like a tad more length on the handle, but I've not had any problems with it, and my wife thinks the length is perfect.
Finally, the issue of what I call "tilt up"--that awkward moment when you pick up the load by tilting back on the handle. I simply put one foot on one of the wheels and tilt back--since the wheels are small, it is actually EASIER than it would be with a bigger-wheeled truck.
I was a bit skeptical when I saw the company president weigh in on his own product, but frankly, I believe he's got it right. This is a well designed product that combines stiffness with compactness and load carrying capability. Yesterday I saw someone with their bigger product the Magna Cart, and I think I'd rather have the Magna Cart Personal since it is a bit more compact for storage.
On top of everything else, this spud is less expensive than the larger steel hand-trucks. Win-win all around.
Magna Cart is Super and Compact!! November 4, 2008
I purchased this to take the place of a full length dolly hand truck to use while transporting items from store to car. Extremely versatile and can handle just about any weight up to 150lbs. The manuverability is great on grass, unpaved surfaces and has good leverage going up and down curbs. I purchased it at Menards for only $20.00 (US) after store rebate. Now that is a great bargain for a very useful and handy go anywhere dolly!
Compact and practical!!
Magna is Magnificent!! November 4, 2008

sturdy and compact October 31, 2008
it's hevy duty, folds nicely to fit anywhere. It's great for heavy items shopping. This is my second for the office. Love it.
Very Solid and Functional October 31, 2008
This item is as advertised a great little hand cart. It is perfect for moving small loads under 150 pounds. I have used it to move heavy shelving units, boxes of paper, servers. My favorite feature is that is folds up into a very small unit for storage when we are not using it. The construction is solid. I would like the wheels to be slightly larger but that is a minor consideration for the use I put the cart to.
