You can use the Escalera Stair Climbing Forklift to raise and lower equipment in and out of the back of your delivery vehicle with the easy-to-use hand operated winch on the RLA-HC. The 28 inch long forks can lift 1200 pounds up to 54 inches high. This is high enough to load and unload a semi-truck without having a loading dock and a traditional forklift.
Use the included RW-1 Automatic Rewinding Safety Strap to secure the load to the handtruck. The safety straps work very similar to seat belts in your car. Because the safety straps rewind automatically into the sideframe when they are not in use, you will never have straps hanging down by your feet. You can install up to two additional safety straps (three total) on each Escalera.
The Escalera Stairclimbing Forklift is very versatile. The battery-powered stairclimbers will climb over 130 steps up and back down with a full load and is very gentle while climbing stairs. You can also raise your equipment to a comfortable service level up to 54” high. The forks are 15 1/2 inches apart for moving loads on or off pallets. Swivel casters mounted underneath make the forklift extremely maneuverable in tight places, and using the optional 10 inch pneumatic Big Wheel Attachment allows you to roll over rough terrain like gravel or grass. The automatic rewinding safety straps will hold any load securely to the handtruck for safe transport and remain installed on the machine for quick and easy use.

Use the optional BWA-1 Big Wheel Attachment with the Escalera StairCat to smooth out the ride when rolling on rough terrain, preventing damage to your copy machine. The 10 inch pneumatic tires allow you to roll easily on gravel, grass, dirt, bumpy asphalt and light snow.
