The Best Way To Lift A Water Heater

The Hot Rod Hand Truck is the best way to lift a water heater, hands down! The consensus in the plumbing industry used to be that lifting water heaters with your back or with two people is nearly unavoidable. As a rule, plumbers are used to bear-hugging or somehow physically lifting/leveraging a water heater to get it where we want it to go. Up until now, it was the only way.

The Hot Rod Hand Truck & Strap Kit was created to help deal with the task of lifting of water heaters and has succeeded very well. It’s a versatile, durable tool kit designed to handle most of the problems that a plumber encounters when he/she has to move, lower or lift residential tank water heaters from platforms and out of pans.

Ergonomic Design For Perfect Control

Ergonomically designed to cradle a water heater for control, stability and comfort. The included Strap Kit, allows any plumber to secure and effortlessly handle water heaters during removal and installation, virtually eliminating the chances of dropping or damaging the tank. Once the old water tank is removed, the new water heater can be placed into position without any stress or straining on the back or knees.

Zero Maintenance Design

Durable polyurethane tires on steel wheels offer a no-flat design with less rolling resistance and require zero maintenance compared to standard dollies with typical pneumatic tires.
