Hand trucks and stairclimbers for beverage delivery
Most stops on a beverage route end at a narrow door, and plenty of them end at a flight of stairs. Beverage hand trucks from SANO get the load to the door, and a LiftKar® stair climber takes it up the stairs.

The machines
Beverage hand trucks and stair climbers for every route
Match the machine to the stop. Flat stops run on a hand truck; walk-ups and basement coolers call for a stairclimber.

Common questions
Before you spec machines for your routes
Which hand truck do water routes use?
The ModulKar AQUA. Curved fold-down shelves hold seven 5-gallon bottles on the BOXER 7 and Pistol 7, or six on the BASIC 6, and stair glides help on a step or two at the door.
What about walk-ups and basement coolers?
That’s stairclimber work. A LiftKar® SAL Pro carries up to 380 lbs on stairs on battery power, so stacked cases and jugs go up a full flight without anyone carrying them. OSHA has warned beverage distributors about lifting injuries on delivery routes (OSHA hazard alert).
Can one machine handle cases and kegs?
Yes. The SANO keg hook fits any ModulKar or LiftKar® SAL, and toe plates swap for kegs and crates. If your route is mostly kegs, the KegKar line is built for it.
Can the trucks carry our logo?
Yes. An advertising panel with your logo mounts on the frame, so every truck on the route carries your name. Ask about it when you request a quote.
Do you quote fleets and distributors?
Yes. Tell us how many routes you run and what’s on the truck, and our team in Loganville, GA will spec the machines and spares. Beverage equipment dealers can also carry the SANO line.

What's on a typical stop, and how many steps are at the door? That's usually enough for us to tell you which hand truck fits and whether a stairclimber would pay for itself.
