The best sack trucks, compared.
Top pick: Modern Group sack truck, solid tyres – Highest score at 94, on the larger sample: 600 lb stated once, 10 inch solid tyres, wheel guards, and 4.7 from 75 reviews at about £54.99. Best value: Einhell folding hand truck, 90 kg – Score 90 at about £23.66, with 90 kg stated once and 4.5 from 13,334 reviews. The handle locks are not numbered, so it is not the highest score. Updated October 2026.
This sack truck comparison ranks twelve amazon.co.uk listings. A sack truck is an two-wheel frame with a toe plate. You slide the plate under the load, tilt back over the axle, and wheel it, for a house move, a garden, a van, or a stockroom. Judge the rated capacity for the mode you will use, the wheel for the ground, and a frame that arrives straight. The Health and Safety Executive classes a sack truck as small equipment on which you still support some of the load, so a printed kilogram is not the whole job. A folding barrow stated up to 200 kg is compared separately in [sack truck 200kg](/hub/lifting-equipment/sack-truck-200kg). These notes read the listings and public UK guidance. Capacity, then wheels, then the toe plate, then fold, is the order of the decision. That order, without this twelve-row table, is in the [sack truck buying guide](/hub/lifting-equipment/sack-truck/sub/sack-truck-buying-guide).

Question 1 of 2
Does it need to fold into a boot?
Across 75 amazon.co.uk ratings at 4.7, the Modern Group Sack Truck Hard Wheel is a 10 kg steel sack truck at £54.99, listed at 53 × 44 × 125 cm, with 600 lb stated on the title and in the specification and no second kilogram to reconcile. UK reviewers praise the solid puncture-proof tyres, the wheel guards that stop compost bags rubbing the wheels, and a toe plate an adult can stand on. They have used it for white goods, including an extra-large fridge-freezer, and for firewood, slabs, and bales. One owner would have preferred a soft tyre after a piece of furniture was marked while the truck was rushed, and another says it is bigger than the picture and needs storage space because it does not fold. Stairs are not stated, though one review says the big wheels handled rough ground and steps, which is a comment rather than a stair rating on the listing. The comparison score of 94 is tied with the MoverX 2-in-1. This row takes the top pick because the capacity is one figure and 75 ratings can carry it, where eight cannot.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a fixed steel sack truck with one 600 lb line, 10 inch solid tyres, and wheel guards for a yard or a one-floor move, and you have room for a 10 kg frame that does not fold.
Less suitable: You need a boot-sized fold, a kilogram on the page, or a stair climber. One review that mentions steps is not a stair rating.
Specifications
Common questions
What load does the listing state?
The title, the bullet, and the specification say 600 lb. The listing does not print a kilogram figure.
Are the tyres air-filled?
No. The bullet says solid puncture-proof tyres. The diameter on the specification is 10 inches.
Does it fold?
It is not described as folding.
The MoverX MX-FT150 is a 9.2 kg convertible at £59.99 with 4.7 from 8 amazon.co.uk ratings. The listing states 75 kg as a sack truck and 150 kg as a platform, and the specification shows 150 kg, so the larger figure belongs to the flat-bed mode. The handle locks at 118 cm, 128 cm, or 138 cm, there are four rubber wheels with a lock on the rear pair, and dimensions are not stored. UK reviewers describe camera kit, computer equipment, and garden waste, and they like that it folds. One review swaps the two capacities, the handle release was stiff for another owner, and a third thought a wheel nut was missing. Stairs are not stated. The score of 94 matches the star line and the clear mode split on the listing, and it does not take the top pick because eight ratings cannot carry that badge against the solid-tyre truck on the same score.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want one truck that states 75 kg as a sack truck and 150 kg as a platform, with three handle locks, and you will use the figure that matches the mode.
Less suitable: You will treat 150 kg as the two-wheel rating, or you need more than eight ratings before you trust a 4.7 line.
Specifications
Common questions
Which capacity is the sack-truck mode?
The bullets say up to 75 kg as a sack truck and 150 kg as a platform. The specification load line says 150 kg only.
How high does the handle lock?
The bullet says it locks at 118 cm, 128 cm, or 138 cm.
How many reviews are on the star line?
4.7 from 8. That is the listing line, not a counted sample of faults.
Across 13,334 amazon.co.uk ratings at 4.5, the Einhell BT-HT 90 is a 5 kg aluminium folding truck at £23.66 with 90 kg stated, and UK reviewers have used it for a 40 kg radiator, compost bags, gas bottles, and appliances on one floor. The listed size is 41 × 38 × 107 cm, the wheels are rubber with a metal bushing, and best-seller rank 1 in Hand Trucks is a popularity line, not a strength test. The handle is extendable, but the bullets do not number the lock positions, and reviewers say it clicks only at full length or arrives jammed. One owner found it shaky after infrequent use kept under 50 kg, and a wheel then came off. There is no bungee in the bullets, and stairs are not stated. The comparison score of 90 reflects that single 90 kg line and the size of the rating set at this price. It is the best value here because £23.66 buys the largest UK rating count in the set, while the 5 kg frame still flexes on a full house move, so it does not take the highest score.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a 5 kg folding truck around £24 for boxes, compost, and the odd appliance on one floor, and you can live with a handle that locks at full extension.
Less suitable: You need a numbered stair rating, a printed folded size, or a steel yard truck for repeated heavy loads.
Specifications
Common questions
What load does the listing state?
The title and the specification both state 90 kg. That figure is the manufacturer line on the amazon.co.uk page, not a weighed test.
Does it fold?
Yes. The bullets include a foldaway supporting blade. Item weight is 5 kg and the listed size is 41 × 38 × 107 cm.
Does the listing say it can be used on stairs?
Stairs are not mentioned. The handle is extendable, and the bullets do not number the lock positions.
The WMR folding truck is listed at 3.37 kg and £26.49, with 80 kg stated and 4.5 from 479 amazon.co.uk ratings, and UK owners use it for coal and logs, a speaker between car and venue, two 20 kg bags, and 20 litre water drums on campsite ground. The title says aluminium alloy poles and a sprayed steel plate, while the specification says alloy steel, so the material is not a single line. The wheels are two solid wheels, the listed size is 39 × 27 × 100 cm, and the bullets claim bungee cords and gloves. Several UK reviews say those parts were not in the box. Taller reviewers find the padded handle short, and one person at 5 ft 4 in said their back hurt on the pull. Stairs are not stated. The score of 90 follows the star line and the single 80 kg figure, and the missing strap is the limit rather than a reason to treat it as the same buy as the Einhell.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a very light folding truck, listed at 3.37 kg and 80 kg, for coal, a speaker, or a boot, and you will add a strap if the bungee is missing.
Less suitable: You need a long handle, or you are counting on the gloves and bungee the bullets promise.
Specifications
Common questions
What load is stated?
The title and the bullet state 80 kg. The specification line writes 8E+1 kg, which is the same figure in scientific notation.
What is the frame made of?
The title says aluminium alloy poles and a sprayed steel plate. The specification material type says alloy steel. Both lines are on the listing.
Are the bungee and gloves in the box?
The bullets claim bungee cords and a pair of safety gloves. Several UK reviews say the bungee, the gloves, or both were missing.
The Modern Group Sack Truck Soft is a 10 kg steel truck at £55.99, listed at 53 × 44 × 125 cm, with two 10 inch pneumatic tyres, wheel guards, and a toe plate stated at 345 × 220 mm. The title and a bullet say up to 600 lb, while the specification says 295 kg, and those are not the same figure because 600 lb is about 272 kg. Across 80 amazon.co.uk ratings at 4.5, reviewers moved a fridge-freezer, a washing machine, a cooker, and large slabs. Tyres arrived flat, a bicycle pump did not seat on the valve, wheels were described as wobbly, and one tube failed under a load the reviewer put at 150 lb. A UK reviewer measured 16 mm axles where the listing image had looked like a heavier welded axle, and some trucks arrived with chipped paint or a bracket that had to be bent. A bullet mentions stairs or steps and prints no separate stair rating. The score of 90 follows the star line, the guards, and the large toe plate, with the capacity conflict left on the record.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a 10 kg steel truck with wheel guards and a large toe plate for white goods or a garden, and you will settle 600 lb against 295 kg before you treat either as the rating.
Less suitable: You need one capacity figure, tyres that arrive ready to roll, or a separate stair rating.
Specifications
Common questions
What capacity is printed?
The title and a bullet say up to 600 lb. The specification load capacity says 295 kg. Those are not the same figure.
Does the page mention stairs?
The pneumatic-tyre bullet says the wheels help on stairs or steps. It does not give a separate stair rating.
Where will the seller ship it?
The bullet says it does not ship to Northern Ireland, the Scottish Highlands, the Isle of Man, the Isle of Wight, the Isles of Scilly, Shetland, or Orkney.
The MoverX MX-T90 is a 5 kg aluminium folding truck at £28.99 with 90 kg stated and 4.4 from 179 amazon.co.uk ratings. The folded size is printed as 35 × 19 × 71 cm, and the handle bullet says 71 cm to 107 cm, which is the storage figure you can check for a boot. UK reviewers report a plant pot of about 65 kg, three building blocks at 60 kg taken up an inclined drive for more than 37 trips, 13 kg propane bottles, and a washing machine that still needed a second person to steady it. One frame arrived bent, so a wheel sat loose, and another review says a weld came away on a cross bar. Loads tend to fall off in a turn, and one owner wanted rubber on the toe plate. A stair question is asked on the listing and not answered. The score of 88 sits with the printed fold and the single 90 kg line, below the fixed trucks whose capacity wording is one figure and whose frames are not described as flexible.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a 90 kg aluminium folder with a printed folded size of 35 × 19 × 71 cm for a boot, and you will check that the frame is straight on arrival.
Less suitable: You need an open size on the listing, a toe plate that holds a turning load, or any answer on stairs.
Specifications
Common questions
What load does it state?
The title and the specification state 90 kg.
How small does it fold?
The bullet gives a folded size of 35 cm × 19 cm × 71 cm. Open item dimensions are not on the specification.
Can it be used on stairs?
The listing asks the question and does not answer it.
The Pyle UK-PKEQ38 is an 8.65 kg folding trolley at £59.99 with 4.3 from 1,207 amazon.co.uk ratings. The bullet states 90 kg and the specification states 90.72 kg, which is a 200 lb conversion rather than a second weighed test. UK reviewers in the stored set have used it for band gear, film kit, and several scuba tanks, and they strap the load because the bed is not very wide. The bullet says R-Trac wheels and brakes, while the specification says pneumatic, so the tyre is not one fact on the page. The handle runs from 64 cm to 102 cm. Welding is the repeated complaint in those reviews: a front-wheel cross bar failed in under two weeks, and another owner found a castor box-section weld left open on one side. The longer upright does not lie completely flat, and stairs are not stated, though a bullet names gravel, grass, and uneven ground. The score of 86 keeps the large rating count and takes account of the weld theme and the two wheel descriptions.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a folding multi-position trolley for band kit, film cases, or dive tanks, and you will strap the load and inspect the welds before you trust it.
Less suitable: You need one tyre description, a fold that lies flat, or a frame you will not have to watch for a failed weld.
Specifications
Common questions
How much weight does the page state?
The bullet says 90 kg. The specification says 90.72 kg. Both figures are on the listing.
What wheels does it claim?
The bullet says R-Trac wheels and brakes. The specification wheel type says pneumatic. The page gives both.
Does it fold?
Yes. The bullet says it folds for storage, and the handle extends from 64 cm to 102 cm.
The AB Tools sack truck is a fixed steel barrow at £46.83, listed at 8.2 kg, with a P-handle and two 10 inch pneumatic tyres. The title says 600 lb, a bullet says 270 kg, and the specification says 272.16 kg. Six hundred pounds converts to about 272 kg, so the specification tracks the pounds and the bullet sits about 2 kg lower, and those lines should not be averaged into a third rating. Across 150 amazon.co.uk ratings at 4.3, owners have moved a freezer, paving, and garden tubs, and one carried a heavy load on mud and grass. The wheels are the recurring fault in the UK reviews: plastic rims, inner tubes that would not hold the 30 psi marked on the tyre, tyres that came off the rim, wheels that sagged under a 65 kg load, and a wheel that buckled under paving slabs. Some arrived flat, and one had no valve to reinflate. It does not fold, the listed size is 55 × 50 × 120 cm, and stairs are not stated. The score of 86 keeps the steel frame and the large pneumatic wheel, and it takes account of those wheel failures.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a fixed P-handle steel truck with 10 inch pneumatic tyres for a garden or a one-floor move, and you will pump the tyres and check the rims before you load.
Less suitable: You need solid tyres, a folding frame, or wheels that UK reviews have not already described as sagging or buckling.
Specifications
Common questions
Which capacity figure is on the page?
The title says 600 lb, the bullet says 270 kg, and the specification says 272.16 kg. The page prints all three.
What wheels does it have?
Pneumatic tyres. The bullet and the specification both say 10 inches.
Does the listing say it folds?
No. It is not described as a folding truck.
The VOUNOT folding sack barrow is listed at £46.99 and 9.9 kg, with a stated load of up to 200 kg, pneumatic tyres, a folding plate, and a telescopic handle with hand guards. Across 31 amazon.co.uk ratings the line is 4.2, and the review file holds one UK text, which calls it a good budget sack truck and does not describe a load, a tyre, or a fault. Wheel count and open dimensions are not in the fields that were stored. Side bars are claimed in the bullets. Stairs are not stated. A 200 kg line on a folding frame is a different claim from the 35 kg and 90 kg folders beside it, and one short review cannot confirm that claim. The score of 84 keeps the single kilogram and the fold, and it stays below the steel trucks that have a larger set of UK review texts.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You are comparing a folding steel barrow with a stated 200 kg line and pneumatic tyres, and you accept that the stored UK review file has one short comment.
Less suitable: You need dimensions, a wheel count, or reviews that describe a real load before you trust 200 kg.
Specifications
Common questions
What load does the listing state?
The bullets say up to 200 kg on a reinforced steel frame.
What tyres does it have?
Pneumatic. The bullets name gravel, paving, grass, and uneven ground. The wheel count is not in the specification.
Does the listing give a stair rating?
No. Stairs are not mentioned. The bullets name pneumatic tyres for gravel, paving, grass, and uneven ground, and they state up to 200 kg.
The CCHONGCC trolley is the lightest folder in this set, at £22.99, with 35 kg stated and 4.2 from 15 amazon.co.uk ratings. The bullet weight is 1.3 kg and the item-weight field is 907 g, so the empty weight is not one number. Folded size is given as 44 × 23 × 8 cm, with a base of 35 × 36 cm, a PP platform, an iron-alloy rod, two elastic straps, and a handle stated at 99 cm. Reviewers use it for boxes on the way to a charity shop, shopping, and small warehouse cartons, and they say the small wheels are happier on smooth floors than on rough ground. Several point out that heavy-duty wording on the page does not match a 35 kg plastic-base trolley, and that it is not for a full-size fridge. Stairs are not stated. The score of 84 fits a compact boot trolley whose stated load is low and specific, not a house-move truck.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a trolley that folds to 44 × 23 × 8 cm for shopping and light boxes under 35 kg on a smooth floor.
Less suitable: You are moving a fridge, a house, or anything the heavy-duty wording made you picture.
Specifications
Common questions
What load does it state?
The title and the first bullet state 35 kg.
How much does the trolley itself weigh on the page?
The bullet says 1.3 kg. The item-weight field says 907 g. Both are printed.
Does the listing answer whether it suits grass?
No. That question is on the page and is not answered. The bullet describes rubber wheels.
The auleef folding truck is £22.99 with 4.0 from 2 amazon.co.uk ratings, which is too small a sample to treat as a pattern. The specification states 35 kg and a bullet states 110 lb, and those are not the same capacity. The bullet weight is 2.7 lb and the item-weight field is 1.5 kg. One review calls the trolley about 1.2 kg and says the extendable bars rattle and twist under a wide load. Bungee cords are claimed, the colour line says there is no bag, and a bullet also offers a fabric bag. The size in the bullet is given in inches: a maximum of 37.4 × 10.6 × 11 inches, and a folded size of 3.3 × 10.6 × 15.9 inches. Tyre type and stairs are not stated. The score of 80 reflects a low shelf price and a capacity conflict that two ratings cannot settle.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a cheap folding shape for a very light, occasional load, and you will stay inside the 35 kg specification rather than the 110 lb bullet.
Less suitable: You need one capacity, a tyre type, or a rating count above two.
Specifications
Common questions
What load is printed?
The specification says 35 kg. A bullet says 110 lb. The page prints both.
Does it include a bag?
The colour name is Black With No Bag. A bullet also offers a fabric bag with the truck.
How many reviews are on the listing?
The star line is 4.0 from 2.
The REDCAMP 15033 is an 11 kg convertible truck at £69.98, the highest shelf price in this set, with 3.6 from 42 amazon.co.uk ratings. The bullet states 260 lb on two wheels and 330 lb on four, and the specification shows 330 lb, so the platform figure is the wrong number if you use it as a sack truck. UK reviewers describe a first-floor move that used a ramp rather than 12 front steps, plus compost, planters, and a gazebo with sandbags. Assembly is the repeated problem: stud threads that would not start, a spacer too long for the split pin, cotter pins that would not fit once the washers were on, and wheels that broke after one trip with two small boxes. One owner said it struggled at about two-thirds of the stated load, and the gaps between the cross bars were wide enough that a reviewer fitted a full-length board. A stair question is asked and not answered. The score of 72 is the low mark because the star line and those build notes do not support the price.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a convertible that prints both a two-wheel figure and a four-wheel figure, and you will assemble the pins carefully for light boxes.
Less suitable: You want a sturdy house-move truck at this price. The 3.6 rating and the broken-wheel reviews are the reason to leave it.
Specifications
Common questions
Which capacity applies on two wheels?
The bullet says 260 lb as a two-wheeled hand truck and 330 lb as a four-wheeled platform. The specification field shows only 330 lb.
Does the base fold?
Yes. The bullet says the base plate can be folded when it is not in use.
Can it be used on stairs?
The listing asks the question and does not answer it.
Shelf prices, star lines, stated loads, empty weights, wheel wording, fold and convert lines, and UK review themes are taken from the twelve amazon.co.uk listings compared here. The note is dated 21 October 2026. It is not a lab test. EN 1757:2022 applies to platform trucks with at least three wheels, not to an ordinary two-wheel sack barrow in this set. The highest score is 94, tied. The top pick is the Modern Group solid-tyre truck, because the sample is larger and the capacity is one line. Best value is the Einhell BT-HT 90. The weights below sum to 100.
Amazon line
35%Stars and review count on amazon.co.uk. A large count can outweigh a small gap in stars. A count under 25 cannot carry the block alone, and eight ratings cannot take the top pick even when the star line is 4.7.
Load and listing clarity
30%Points for one capacity figure for the mode you use, pneumatic or solid stated clearly, a toe-plate size, and wheel guards. Points come off for pounds against kilograms that do not match, a platform figure used as the sack-truck rating, mixed wheel names, or a stair question left blank.
Review notes
20%UK texts on handle lock, missing straps, weld or rim faults, flat tyres, and bent frames. Notes from other marketplaces are not treated as British opinion. One short comment cannot confirm a 200 kg folding claim.
Shelf price
15%The GBP figure on amazon.co.uk. A low price can lead this block and still miss the value badge when the sample is two ratings or the capacity lines disagree.
Choose the capacity for the mode you will use, then the wheel for the ground, then a toe plate and a fold that match the job. A platform kilogram, a 600 lb title, and a conflicting specification are not one rating.
A sack truck is an L-shaped two-wheel frame. You slide the toe plate under the load, tilt over the axle, and wheel. Capacity, then wheels, then the toe plate, then fold, is the order of the decision. That order, without this twelve-row table, is in the [sack truck buying guide](/hub/lifting-equipment/sack-truck/sub/sack-truck-buying-guide). Rated capacity comes first, and it has to be the figure for the mode you will use.
A platform rating, a 600 lb title, and a specification in different kilograms are not one capacity. 600 lb is about 272 kg. The MoverX MX-FT150 sack-truck figure is 75 kg, not the 150 kg platform line.
The CCHONGCC listing states 35 kg. Heavy-duty wording on that page does not make it a house-move truck, and the small wheels prefer a smooth floor.
A bullet that mentions steps is not a stair rating. Stair climbers are not in these twelve listings. Seller stair figures, where they exist, are lower than the flat-ground figure, and they are not an HSE law.
Use the figure for sack-truck mode, not a higher platform figure. The MoverX MX-FT150 states 75 kg as a sack truck and 150 kg as a platform. Do not average a pound title with a different kilogram. 600 lb is about 272 kg, so a specification of 295 kg is a conflict. Above the rated capacity, HSE INDG478 says stop. INDG478 bands for truck plus load, inside the rating, run from under 50 kg (low) to over 200 kg (very high).
Solid rubber does not puncture and suits hard floors. Pneumatic tyres cushion gravel and go flat. Puncture-proof in trade catalogues often means foam-filled polyurethane. A listing that says R-Trac in one line and pneumatic in another has not stated one tyre. UK reviews on the 10 inch pneumatic trucks here include tyres that arrived flat, rims that failed, and tubes that would not hold pressure.
Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.
You want a folding truck, a printed folded size, and a stated capacity above the heaviest box. The MoverX MX-T90 states 90 kg and prints a fold of 35 × 19 × 71 cm, at about £28.99, with 4.4 from 179 reviews. Open size is not stored, and the stair question on the listing is unanswered.
You want a larger wheel and a toe plate a bag can sit on. The Modern Group pneumatic truck lists 10 inch tyres, wheel guards, and a plate of 345 × 220 mm, at about £55.99. The title says 600 lb and the specification says 295 kg, so those lines are a conflict. UK reviews mention tyres that arrived flat.
At work in Great Britain you still assess the route under the Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992 and INDG478. The Modern Group solid-tyre truck is the top pick here: one 600 lb line, 10 inch solid tyres, and 4.7 from 75 reviews. A printed figure does not remove pushing and steadying, and the listing states no stair rating.
The top pick is the Modern Group sack truck with solid tyres at about £54.99. It scores 94, tied with the MoverX 2-in-1, and takes the award because 600 lb is on the title and in the specification, with 4.7 from 75 reviews, 10 inch solid tyres and wheel guards. Eight ratings on the MoverX cannot take that award. Best value is the Einhell BT-HT 90 at about £23.66, score 90, with 4.5 from 13,334 reviews, 5 kg empty and 90 kg stated. The handle-lock positions are not numbered, so it does not take the highest score. Skip the solid-tyre truck if you need a fold for a boot. Skip the Einhell if you need a steel yard truck or a printed stair rating.
Modern Group sack truck, solid tyres
Highest score at 94, on the larger sample: 600 lb stated once, 10 inch solid tyres, wheel guards, and 4.7 from 75 reviews at about £54.99.
Einhell folding hand truck, 90 kg
Score 90 at about £23.66, with 90 kg stated once and 4.5 from 13,334 reviews. The handle locks are not numbered, so it is not the highest score.
