Stair Climbing Cart: Vending machine handling up and down the stairs

Vending machines are naturally a convenient facility for everyone’s life, but because of their large size and weight, handling and placement has always been a challenge.

Handling Pain Points and Solutions

Because the vending machine is heavy, human handling is impossible. It needs professional handling equipment. And the vending machine itself is not resistant to extrusion and scraping, or the outer wall is easily damaged, so there is a need of carrying the equipment more smoothly, especially when climbing.

Normal vending machine weight is generally between 200KG to 400KG,  which is not possible for general style stair climbing trolleys. It  needs special heavy-duty type of stair climbing cart, such as DRAGON’s heavy-duty electric stair climbing dolly. Its load capacity can reach 500kg, nearly half a ton, which is enough to carry vending machines.

Core Advantages of Stair Climbing Hand Trucks

Stair climbing hand trucks must be designed around the characteristics of handling equipment to truly meet scenario requirements:

• Stable Structure and Strong Load-Bearing Capacity

High load-bearing capacity: The maximum load capacity of mainstream models reaches 500kg, which is sufficient to meet handling needs.

Stable structure: Made of high-strength alloy material, the load-bearing frame undergoes anti-bending treatment to ensure stability during transportation.

Strong track grip: Adopting industrial-grade non-slip rubber material, it has a large contact area with stairs, which can prevent slipping and easily drive heavy goods.

• Flexible Adaptation to Scene Space

Platform adaptation size: The load-bearing platform can be customized to fix goods of different sizes.

High flexibility: Equipped with universal wheels, it does not require major adjustments in narrow spaces and is suitable for complex layouts.

• Multiple Safety Designs

Anti-sway fixation: Equipped with adjustable straps to firmly fix goods.

Emergency braking: Built-in emergency braking device, the stair climbing hand truck stops immediately without sliding down.

Stable operation: The running speed can be adjusted, and combined with the segmented drive of the track, it operates smoothly when going up and down stairs.

Domain Applicability

Loaded electric stair climbing carts are mostly crawler style. And because of the track’s strong grip on the ground and the long track, the stair climber cart can steadily climb on the stair steps and pause on the steps for a short time.

Moreover, the load climbers are powered by electricity, and the design of the pull-out battery allows the movers to change the battery at any time in the middle of the move.

As the floor climber can adjust the angle between the load plate and the track by itself according to the angle of the tilt of the body, the goods can always remain horizontal or tilted inward during the climbing process, and not to slip off the load plate.

As the vending machine is relatively regular in shape and nearly 2 meters in height, the center of gravity is high, the handling process is stable and not bumpy. And it is important to ensure that the bottom surface of the equipment is level relative to the ground, and the load crawler can meet both conditions.

Electric stair climbing dollies are perfect for vending machine handling. Considering the uncertainty of vending machine placement locations, if you need to acquire equipment to carry and dispatch vending machines or merchandise, a crawler stair climber cart is a pretty good choice.
