The Upcart Can Help You Get Your Stuff Up & Down Stairs.

I originally saw the first UpLift Cartat the National Hardware Show a few years ago. Since then they've introduced two newer models and we saw them both at Home + Housewares event.

The smallest one is the UpCart VersaTrolley. The company says it's significant because it is the most lightweight and compact cart in their product line, folding completely flat for easy storage. But yes,it's still capable of reducing effort while going up and down stairs or traversing rough terrain. This new UpCart folds to 4.5 inches flat and weighs in at 8 pounds. Even with its ability to be compactly stored it still offers a 77 pound weight capacity. But wait, there's more. It also comes with a custom-fitted bag to help transport anything from groceries to laundry. I like the fact that you can the bag off and use the handles to hold it, while you fold up the cart to ride public transportation. It's $79.99 and available about June 2019.

The cart I was rolled around on in the video on this week's show is also new. It's the UpCart Lift which the company says is a powerhouse of a hand truck that’s light, easy to maneuver and readily hauls up to 200 lbs. over uneven surfaces. It’s the first folding hand truck to offer an all-terrain stair climbing chassis. Another real advantage is that it features the tallest handle in its class. That's great because most of the time the load your handling is a step below where you're standing. This cart too folds flat in seconds for convenient storage. It's $99.99 and available now. Hundreds of reviews on the company website are very positive, but the chatroom pointed out they're not so great on Amazon, so check out both.
