PowerMate M-2 - the heavy duty commercial stair climber.
The PowerMate M-2 PowerMate is a powered, heavy duty stair climber with a capacity tomove loads up to 1,500 lbs. The M-2B has eight inches of extra height to accommodate taller loads like built-in appliances, vending machines, visi coolers, safes, switchgear, commercial hot water tanks and man lifts.
The PowerMate M-2 is four machines in one: a powered stair climber; a powered tailgate lift; a loading dock leveler and a well balanced dolly. The following list provides a quick reference to some of the advantages attributed to the PowerMate M-2 stair climbing hand truck.
Every consideration was given to make your PowerMate® the most ergonomically friendly lifting device on the market. For example, all our operator controls are strategically positioned on the top of the machine between the hand grips. The drive screw brake is always engaged until the operator activates the controls. This safety feature prevents unecessary load movement.
The wheels on a PowerMate® lift up and out of the way reducing the overall footprint of the machine – ideal in a tight spot like narrow stairwells and landings. This feature is also why you are able to break back the load with such relative ease; with the wheels out of the way, the effort to pull the load back onto the wheels is dramatically reduced. Once the machine and load are back onto the wheels, you are now in a well balanced position - with no effort required to keep the load in balance! You can even let go of the machine at this point! A handy feature on stairwells should you have to open a door or even answer your phone. This is impossible with a regular hand truck and is a major advantage in owning a PowerMate®.
All PowerMate M-2B's are manufactured with solid state controls which reduce the draw on the battery adding to your daily operational battery life. Another advantage of solid state controls (unique in the industry) is the "soft start" feature. This further increases safety by reducing sudden movements during start up and results in the smoother operation of the machine. The new controls a
The M-2B comes complete with retractable wheels that converts your PowerMate into a four-wheel dolly for flat surface rolling. The extra wheels can be deployed and retracted while the machine is loaded.
