Keg hand truck

[beerfan]

Can anyone suggest a good hand truck for delivering kegs or is it just the normal run of the mill type that are used? A vendor would be great to.

Thanks.

Here's one ... probably no good for you, but it might help someone else!

Magliner makes a unit with a keg hook. Not the cheapest, but they hold up well.

A nice option is the semi-solid wheel...it won't leak (handy around broken glass).

You'll want one with a curved back, so that the kegs nestle into it and don't try to roll out to either side.


A quick search found:

Note: I have no connection to either vendor! Just passing on info.

Grainger sells a pretty indestuctible one, all welded aluminum, but without a keg hook, which is nice to have.

Foxx Equipment sells a good hand truck that is fairly cheap, rugged, but a bit on the heavy side (it is made of steel). It also has a hook for kegs and a curved back. It is actually advertised as a drum hand truck, and it will pick-up and carry a full 55 gallon drum. If you don't mind the extra weight this hand truck is my recommendation.
