ModulKar BASE line
Five ways to build a ModulKar BASE
Every BASE model shares the same patented frame. Start with the UTILITY if price matters most, pick the grip and the job, then set the toe plate, tires and stair glides to match.

Why ModulKar
Stairclimber parts, no motor
The ModulKar is built from the same high-strength components and engineering team as the LiftKar® SAL. Nearly every part bolts on and off, so the handtruck can change with the job.
01
Patented tube profile
A double center web lets bolts pass straight through the frame, and the inner groove adds strength.
02
One-bolt wheel change
Bolted two-piece rims come off with one bolt in about 10 seconds.
03
Low connecting axle
The axle sits about 3” off the ground, so tipping a full load back takes less effort.
04
Support struts
Struts tie the axle to the frame for a rigid ride under heavy loads.
05
Heavy-duty wheel brackets
Extra-strong mountings take curb drops and dock edges day after day.
06
Rattle-free toe plate
A synthetic washer and cup spring stop the folding toe plate from clattering.
07
Ball-bearing wheels
Industrial-class bearings with pneumatic, non-marking or puncture-proof tires.
08
One tool for everything
The same TORX bolts are used throughout, so one wrench handles every swap.

Common questions
Before you ask for a quote
What’s the difference between BASIC and BOXER?
Stair glides. A BOXER is a ModulKar with nylon stair glides on the back, rated to 660 lbs. The BASIC goes without them, with loop grips, rated to 550 lbs.
Can a ModulKar go up stairs?
With stair glides, standard on BOXER and AQUA, you can slide loads up and down steps by hand. If you’d rather the machine do the climbing, the LiftKar® SAL Pro is built on the same frame with a motor.
Can I change parts later?
Yes. Wheels, grips, toe plates and stair glides all bolt on, and one TORX tool fits every bolt. Wheels swap with a single bolt.
Which toe plate do I need?
The Standard plate covers most boxes and cases. GS suits kegs and crates, V or LH suit cylinders, WL or XWL suit appliances, and G suits large packages.
