When the convertible is the right call

Pick a convertible when one operator covers mixed routes: a delivery driver who handles boxed freight (hand truck) and appliances or furniture (cart) on the same day. Or a warehouse picker who stages tall stacks (hand truck) and consolidates them onto a flat deck (cart) for the dock run.

Skip the convertible if you only ever use one mode — a dedicated hand truck or dedicated platform cart will be lighter and cheaper for single-mode work.

The two convertible sizes

The Senior Convertible uses the 600 lb B1 frame and full 10″ wheels — standard for general freight and route work. The Junior Convertible uses the 500 lb B10 frame and 8″ balloon-cushion wheels — lighter, more compact for office and showroom mixed work.

Specific size: see B&P Senior Convertibles for 600 lb 10″ builds, or B&P Junior Convertibles for compact 500 lb builds.

Convertible FAQs

How sturdy is the latch?Spring-loaded with manual override — latch holds 1,000 lb in cart mode and locks the back deck against the frame in hand-truck mode. Failure rate is effectively zero on B&P’s build.
Will it tip in cart mode?Cart mode uses 4 ground contact points. As long as the load is centered on the deck, it won’t tip. Off-center loads above 500 lb need a dedicated platform truck instead.
Same wheels in both modes?Yes — the same 2 main wheels carry load in both modes. Cart mode adds 2 small swivel casters for the back end.
Replacement parts?Standard B&P A-B-C-D parts apply — see frames, handles, wheels, nose plates.
Junior or Senior — which to pick?Senior for general freight (600 lb capacity). Junior for office, showroom, and tighter aisles (500 lb capacity, 8″ wheels).
