Sack Truck

Can you hire a sack truck from us at Easihire Wigan to help move white goods and heavy items when i am using a hire van during my important house move?

Here are the key advantages of hiring a sack truck — whether you’re moving house, shifting heavy items for work, or transporting goods during a Christmas road-trip or event:


Advantages of Hiring a Sack Truck

1. Saves your back & reduces injury risk

Sack trucks are designed to take the weight for you. Instead of lifting and carrying heavy boxes or equipment, you simply tilt and roll. This helps:

  • Prevent strains
  • Reduce fatigue
  • Make repetitive lifting far safer

2. Great for moving heavy or awkward items

A sack truck can handle loads that would be difficult or unsafe to carry by hand, such as:

  • Boxes and crates
  • Furniture
  • Electrical appliances
  • Deliveries or event equipment

Most standard sack trucks can carry 100–300kg, depending on the model.


3. Much cheaper than buying one

If you only need one occasionally, hiring is:

  • Cost-effective
  • Practical
  • Space-saving (no need to store it afterwards)

This is ideal for homeowners, event organisers, and small businesses.


4. Efficient for loading cars, vans, and hire vehicles

Whether you’re picking up an automatic rental car or using a van:

  • A sack truck helps you move items quickly
  • Reduces loading time
  • Stops you dragging or dropping boxes and damaging the vehicle

Perfect for moving luggage, presents, food supplies, or tools.


5. Designed for different terrains

Depending on the type you hire, sack trucks can have:

  • Pneumatic tyres for uneven ground
  • Stair-climber wheels for steps
  • Folding frames for easy transport

You can choose the right style for your job.


6. Easy for anyone to use

They require no training — just load, tilt, and roll.
This makes them ideal for:

  • Families
  • Delivery drivers
  • Event helpers
  • DIY movers

7. Protects your belongings

Using a sack truck means items stay upright and secure. This reduces the risk of:

  • Dropping valuables
  • Damaging packaging
  • Scuffing floors

8. Flexible hire options

Most hire centres offer:

  • Day hire
  • Weekend rental
  • Week-long hire
  • Add-on equipment like straps or blankets

You get exactly what you need for the time you need it.

Yes, Easihire Wigan have sack trucks available to rent for 8GBP per day.
