Pretty cool device

Don't have one but thought this was pretty cool. Especially check out the video. May help those who struggle with a heavy hitch or generator.

That looks interesting, for some applications. The specs on it are "sketchy" so how big it is, how heavy it is, whether it would fold up small enough to pack in the truck are all questions that remain unanswered.

It would be great to have in the garage to roll out to unload the generator or hitch from the truck, but from the looks of it, it may well be just as heavy as the generator, so lifting it into the truck so you can unload the generator at the campsite may make it a "double whammy" lifting a 100 pound powered hand truck to handle a 100 pound generator....

Then, there that pesky battery to worry about. How long does it last and can you recharge it easily? Nothing worse than a dead battery on the lift that you need to move the generator so you can start it up to charge that dead battery.....

What the heck is a 12V 25 Amp linear actuator? If that thing weighs 91 lbs (Amazon number) My Champion generator is about 100 lbs so I am guessing it would be easier to hoist the generator into my truck bed rather than hoist the powered hand truck into the bed and it looks kind of bulky.

The price of this thing on the website shown is suspiciously low and the when checking out the seller, seems there is a high degree of scam for this website. Buy from a trusted seller (like Amazon) if you want one of these powered hand trucks.
