Makinex pride themselves on having a reputation for innovation. When they designed and produced the Powered Hand Truck in 2012, its success was a no brainer, due to it solving a problem that was consistently occurring within the rental industry.

James Alessi – Kennards Hire Branch Manager from Wollahra says “I was involved with the trial Kennard’s conducted on the Powered Hand Trucks (Onelift) last year during my time at the Alexandria branch. Since we received the new model a few months back I have noticed the unit has improved features as we can now lift an extra 20kgs.
We use the PHT regularly around the branch lifting brick saws, Generators and other small equipment. I use to wake up sore in the mornings with back pain from all the lifting of equipment, and I don’t seem to have that problem anymore now I have the Makinex Powered Hand Truck”.
