A bespoke hand truck for fitness equipment is designed to move heavy and irregularly shaped machines, such as treadmills, cross-trainers and multi-gyms. The frame, wheelbase, kick plate and mounting are tailored to the weight, dimensions, floor surface and available passageways.

01
Fitness equipment often has an uneven centre of gravity. We tailor the frame, wheelbase and skid plate to the shape and weight of your equipment, ensuring it remains stable during transport.
02
Thanks to the lightweight aluminium frame and the leverage provided by the double-frame design, your team will need to exert considerably less force when moving heavy fitness equipment.
03
Would you like to test a single model first before equipping your entire fleet or showroom? We can build your ideal fitness hand truck from as little as a single unit.
Fitness equipment is heavy, bulky and often difficult to grip due to its shape: think of cross-trainers, weight machines or treadmills. A standard hand trolley is therefore often not stable enough, or risks damaging the floor and the equipment during transport.
That is why we design the perfect configuration, tailored precisely to the weight, shape and fragility of your equipment. Below you can see the technical options we use to build a bespoke hand truck that can withstand heavy sports equipment.

Every application requires different choices. Below are a number of features that can be customised on a bespoke hand truck. If your requirements aren’t listed here, we’d be happy to help you find a suitable solution.
For heavy sports equipment, we recommend wide, puncture-resistant wheels for maximum stability, or pneumatic tyres if you regularly ride over uneven ground
Choose from a small shovel blade measuring 220 x 245 mm to a large one measuring 400 x 500 mm. To suit your needs.
Consider using lashing straps, support brackets or a wider loading ramp for large, irregularly shaped items such as cross-trainers or weight racks.
A standard handcart is often not sufficient for moving heavy and bulky pieces of fitness equipment, such as treadmills, spinning bikes and multi-gyms. The most suitable option is a lightweight aluminium handcart with a double frame and twin pneumatic tyres.
This particular design provides the necessary lateral stability and prevents the hand truck from sagging under the extreme weight of professional fitness equipment.
Fitness equipment is not only extremely heavy, but the weight is often unevenly distributed. A double frame provides extra structural rigidity and prevents the frame from twisting whilst tilting and manoeuvring the load. This ensures optimum control, reduces stress on the welds and significantly extends the hand truck’s service life during intensive, professional use.
Twin pneumatic tyres, often inflated to 3.5 bar, offer two major advantages in the fitness sector:
Optimal weight distribution: The heavy weight of power stations or dumbbells is distributed across four straps rather than two. This significantly reduces the strain on the user’s back during the tilting movement.
Floor protection: Gyms often have expensive resin-based floors, rubber cushioning mats or wooden sports floors. Dual-chamber tyres drastically reduce point loads, minimising the risk of marks or damage to the gym floor.
Yes, that’s one of our most frequently requested customisations for the fitness industry. Whilst a standard loading platform is often 30 by 30 cm, we can fully customise the hand truck with a wider or deeper loading platform. This is ideal for safely and securely holding wide cardio machines, squat racks or large stacks of weight plates that would otherwise slide off a standard hand truck.

Manually lifting fitness equipment is a major cause of physical strain and injuries. Our aluminium hand trolleys weigh very little themselves, yet can effortlessly carry hundreds of kilograms. Thanks to the ergonomic handles and the clever leverage provided by the double frame, considerably less physical effort is required to tilt and move heavy equipment. This reduces absenteeism due to illness and makes rearranging your gym much easier and safer.
