Product description
This item is a multi-use product designed to function as a step ladder, furniture dolly, four-wheel cart and hand truck. Even though this item can be used as a non-wheeled device, its principal use is as a wheeled trolley. The crate is foldable and made of plastic, holds up to 50 lbs. and instantly opens for use and collapses for storage. It attaches to the trolley/ladder in the hand truck mode by means of metal studs. The Flexideck is made of plastic and provides a solid surface so that smaller objects can be carried. In the ladder mode, the Flexideck creates a handy work surface to hold tools, paint cans, etc.
