Lift carts and hydraulic trolleys have their advantages in heavy material handling and transportation. They reduce manual lifting and make it easier to transport loads over shorter distances, say, just outside a warehouse, store, or factory. However, the effort of unloading and loading cargo onto a truck bed has traditionally been left to manual straining, but not anymore! An ingenious creation from a father-and-son duo, the Lift & Slide Cart is the most effortless way to load cargo onto a truck, without the slightest human labor.
Pickup trucks are surprisingly efficient at hauling supplies for home renovations, agricultural loads, appliances, and more. However, loading cargo onto the truck bed is cumbersome and requires manual labor. With the Lift & Slide Cart, the intention is to make this process easy and effortless.
The tiring process of vehicle cargo loading can be simplified with this lift cart, which slides cargo onto the truck and folds up to travel along to the drop-off location, where it can unload the cargo with the same convenience. At no point is human labor required to manually lift the cargo. All you have to do is position the lift close to the truck bed and press a button. The Lift & Slide Cart’s hydraulic system lifts the cargo to the desired height (not higher than 50 inches). Then, the same mechanism — featuring a sliding cart — allows you to transfer the entire load onto the truck bed. The cart compresses, and the handle folds down for easy transportation along with the cargo.
To ensure all types of construction material and heavy load can be easily lifted and slid onto vehicles, the Lift & Slide Cart is made durable yet lightweight. It is constructed from high-quality carbon steel and aluminum to maintain a low weight, while electrophoresis and powder coating ensure durability and longevity in various use cases.
To function reliably, the Lift & Slide Cart is powered by a rechargeable battery and comprises four wheels (two of which can rotate 360 degrees) with caster brakes. These allow for smooth cargo maneuverability on all types of surfaces and ensure the cart remains stationary during transportation. This inventive cart is compatible with most pickup trucks and can even be used to lift and haul loads in vans and SUVs.
The brains behind the Lift & Slide Cart have prioritized convenience and safety. They’ve designed it to sense weight. If it detects a load heavier than 440 lbs., it will stop lifting until the weight is reduced. I only wish I had this mechanism when I was building my house. I still remember the pain and sweat of moving tile slabs, wood planks, paint buckets, and more on and off the hauling vehicle.
If you think Lift & Slide Cart can help you somehow, you can book it now for a super early-bird discount of $999 on Kickstarter. Early prototypes can be seen in the campaign video, and the final product is expected to ship in August after a successful crowdfunding campaign.
