Keg Hand Truck Under Development

Introducing the keg Resources Designed Keg Handtruck

We developed this prototype in conjunction with the nationwide delivery contractor for a national brewery.
We discussed the issues with stairs and very heavy kegs and implemented a second set of wheels to act as a buffer.
We are currently trialing them with 1 unit shared to 3 trucks and the feedback so far is great, it simplifies the job of both up and down stairs rather than scraping and damaging the stairs.

Of course it is good for any person needing to get gear up and down stairs.

A bit more detail and more pics after the jump

Going Down The Stairs

Changes

With the feedback received we are making the following changes:

Plate

The plate is slightly thicker then they were used to and a thinner plate will slide under the full kegs without needing to lift them up less effort needed.

2nd Wheel Set

This set needs to be braked for steep downstairs, we are adding a variable braking system to allow full control of the momentum.
