FAQ's

How long does the battery last?

The best way to accurately measure the number of steps you can expect is to determine the weight of the item(s) you are going to move.  The length and strength of the charge will be determined by this weight.  On our larger units (all models except the LTA4512E), with a fully-charged battery, you can expect the following performance:

500 lbs. = 300 steps          1,000 lbs. = 275 steps          1,500 lbs. = 75 steps  

Can the LECTRO-TRUCK™ go off the back of a truck? 

Yes, the LECTRO-TRUCK™ can be used as a powered lift gate.  If your truck bed (or the floor of your trailer) is less than 41", certain LECTRO-TRUCK™ models will reach.  We always suggest using the Hook Box accessory to properly secure your load in place.  For your information, here are the lifting heights of all the machines we sell:

LTA6512E* = 41 in./1041mm  LTA5512E* = 41 in./1041mm  LTA5012E = 33 in./838mm
LTA4512E= 33 in./838mm1268E* = 39 in./991mm1260E*=39 in./991mm
*Equipped with a hook bar.

How much weight will the LECTRO-TRUCK™ lift?

The LECTRO-TRUCK™ is able to lift the full weight that is listed as capacity.  This is the same whether you are moving across flat surfaces, up or down steps, or onto and off of trucks and trailers.  This is very simply because, we use stronger, more reliable components.  As a reminder, here are the capacities again:

LTA6512E
1,500 Lbs./680kg  
LTA5512E
1,200 Lbs./544kg   
LTA5012E
1,200 Lbs./544kg        
LTA4512E
600 Lbs./272kg  
1268E
1,500 Lbs./680kg  
1260E
1,500 Lbs./680kg  

Why do my wheels keep rolling towards the front of the step? 

The wheels on the LECTRO-TRUCK™ will roll forward for a few different reasons. One reason might be that the step is too deep. When you go to raise the load up to the next step if the wheels are too far back on the step the inner frame will ride on the edge of the step and pull the LECTRO-TRUCK™ forward. To correct this problem we have optional wheel brakes that attach to the Lectro-Truck's wheels and prevent the wheels from rolling forward.

A second reason why your LECTRO-TRUCK™ might roll towards the front of the step is because the load you are moving is too short and heavy. The way to correct this problem is by using the Balance Box Accessory - or some other means to raise the center of gravity. This will move the weight up on the LECTRO-TRUCK™ to equally distribute the weight and allow the user to gain a mechanical advantage over the load being moved.

A third reason your LECTRO-TRUCK™ wheels will roll towards the front of the step is because the step might be pitched forward. To correct this problem we would suggest installing the wheel brakes.
 
What if I need to rest in the middle of the flight of steps with a 1500 lb./680kg load on my LECTRO-TRUCK™?

The Lectro-Truck's mast-type frame allows you to adjust the wheels up one or two steps - all while the load is resting safely on its own step.  Once you have obtained a healthy balance on the steps, you can let go of the Lectro-Truck's handles and let the load rest in place.  Other stair climbing hand trucks that do not have the mast-type frame do not allow the user to do this.

What happens if my battery goes dead during a move?

If your battery should go dead in the middle of your move, balance the 
LECTRO-TRUCK™ on the steps, and replace the battery or swap the detachable battery pack. We recommend purchasing an extra battery or battery pack to eliminate this scenario. In addition, you should always keep your battery trickle charged when not using your LECTRO-TRUCK™.
