So I put my new to me rebuilt wheeler in revenue service today and it's good actually works great.
It's an older Magliner Gemini had to be one of the first production runs. I have two Magliner Gemini's the first one I own I bought brand new in 2013.
This one I bought the actual base unit used from a man in Pittsburgh when I was there 3 weeks ago. It was old and needed some cleaning up:
That was the base model I took it all apart and changed out the back tires and the front casters added a bunch of other things like new decking and stair climbers and 30" extended nose. The only major difference between this one and the 2013 model is the 2013 model the frame is about 1" longer on the 2013 model so the decking avaliable that I can buy now is an inch longer I might take the deck to my uncles welding shop see if they can fabricate it and make it fit.
However other then that it's good to go:
I like the Magliners the best there light weight but very durable aluminum magnesium mix they are easy to buy parts for which is huge!
They also have the best line up.
For fold downs there the best hands down they have the best selection and most choice of options. We have 2 Magcoa Fold Downs at work that the company bought and nobody maintains. There both base models are assigned to nobody and have had the tar beat out of them and I refuse to use them.
I have the two Magliner knock downs both are excellently maintained and sprung for with serrious options and neither are base model and run circles around the Magcoas. The biggest problem with Magcoa is besides stair climbers there's no options.
By far Magliner hands down has the best product line compared to Wyse
Or Magcoa. Now I'm not knocking Wyse there hand trucks are extremely well built they are Wyse hand trucks might be the most heavy duty most well built hand trucks ever and there drum and disc break systems are best hands down.
However that being said Magliner has more offerings and more options and in general way more to choose from and a much bigger product line and parts for Magliner are readily avaliable and easy to buy. Wyse there parts catalog is black and white list type I don't like it.
Any how new rebuilt Magliner works good. I brought my 2013 Magliner back home this afternoon to change a caster which was no big deal. Anyhow that's about all.Gearjammin' Penguin, G13Tomcat and MACK E-6 Thank this. -
