The Mega Hauler is a fantastic all around cart with a capacity of 1,000 pounds.
The Slim version reduces the width of the cart by 10″ when compared to our standard Mega Hauler (25″ vs 35″ width). The large 16″ flotation tires allow the Mega Hauler hand truck to go over loose and soft terrain. It’s perfect for transporting items like tents or tables. At 65″ tall, the cart has extra leverage and the rear folding wheels allow for better weight distribution and ride control. The Mega Hauler is built tough and now features optional flat free front tires. The built in ball hitch works with our trailer dolly to create an off road wagon. E-Ratchet strap compatibility is built into the cart, for maximum load security.
The Mega Hauler Slim is available with or without rear wheel attachments. The rear wheels feature 10 inch diameter flat free tires. The ball hitch attachment fits a 2″ ball.
