I propose a move

edit

I propose moving the name from 'hand-truck' to 'hand truck' because there is no hyphen in the online dictionaries at onelook.com. A hyphen is not correct in current English usage. - Richardcavell 03:40, 2 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Clarification needed

edit

A dolly is comparable to a hand truck. It is a first class lever.

Something is "fishy" about this statement.

I agree that the first-class lever claim is dubious and arguably not in source (so far as I've seen). Once the sack truck is tipped back enough, over the fulcrum, it then looks a lot like a second-class lever to me. ReadOnlyAccount (talk) 00:29, 6 February 2025 (UTC)Reply
