Every unit is built in Augusta with American-made components and labor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe plant does its own CNC tube bending, press stamping, TIG and MIG welding and powder coating, then assembles and boxes each truck. Stevens builds more than 60 hand truck models and keeps a parts list for each one, so wear parts can be replaced instead of the whole truck.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"chq-faq\" id=\"chq-stv-faq\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eStevens SRT-8 questions and answers\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much weight can the Stevens SRT-8 hold?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e800 lb. That covers full-size refrigerators, washers, dryers and ranges. Near the rating, use two people and keep the load centered on the footplate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between the SRT-8 and the SRT?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SRT-8 has a heavier 1 in steel tube frame, 8 x 2-1\/2 in solid rubber wheels and an 800 lb rating. The SRT uses 3\/4 in tube and 6 x 2 in cushion tread wheels and is rated 750 lb. Pick the SRT-8 when the route crosses gravel, grass or curbs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the SRT-8 go up and down stairs?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The ESCORT crawler treads behind the wheels carry a belt over roller bearings, so the load slides from one step edge to the next. You still pull the load up step by step, and a second person should steady it from below.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the strap lock and rewind?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. It is a ratchet tightener with automatic strap recoil on a 3-ply, 2-piece, 14 ft strap. Ratchet it tight to hold the load; release it and the strap winds back on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill the wheels go flat?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The 8 x 2-1\/2 in wheels are solid rubber on ball bearings (Stevens wheel W-19).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I move a gun safe or vending machine with it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA safe within the 800 lb rating with a flat back, yes, strapped tight and with two people. For vending machines and coolers, the SRT-M-66 is the better tool: 1,200 lb, 66 in tall, with kickout casters that carry the weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill it fit through a standard doorway?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe frame is 16 in wide and the footplate 24 in wide, so the truck itself clears a standard door. The load you carry sets the real width.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes a big wheel attachment fit the SRT-8?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStevens lists the BWA-S for its 3\/4 in steel trucks. The SRT-8 uses 1 in tube and we have not had fit confirmed, so call us before ordering one for an SRT-8.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere is the SRT-8 made and can I get parts?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStevens builds it in Augusta, Georgia.
