    The company I work for provides hand trucks but they are pretty beat up so i'm looking at buying one for myself. The company uses magliner but i've been doing some research and really like the BP Liberator hand truck. Does anyone have any input on how they stack up compared to the magliner or any other recommendations on other brands?

    Appreciate your help!

    U-Line makes a good one. You can add parts to fit your needs. Cheaper too.

    Well, it looks like BP (as well as the other companies) are sharing/borrowing/"stealing?" the same parts and chassises as Magliner. So BP appears to be as good as Magliner; So i guess it boils down to which brand you like and which brand has a distributor convenient to you. i love my Harper, although i think Magliner is the best, and i'm probably going to build a Magliner when i get around to it.

    It sort of like trucks----most (except volvo of course.....) use the same frames, engines, transmission, axles, wheels etc. as every other company.

    What will you be carrying?

    Yeah the magliner and BP carts look pretty identical, The BP ones are cheaper though. Quality wise I don't know, never used a BP truck

    I work for a food distributor.
