3. Demo the latest Granite creations
At Granite we are always looking for the next great product or for ways to improve our existing products. This year, we’re very excited to release updated versions of two of our most popular carts: our Multi Mover and Mantis hand trucks. Every year we attend the ARA Show, these are two of the stand out performers and yet there has been a popular request, rear swivel wheels. This is a feature on some of our bigger carts but hasn’t made it’s way to our smaller carts. Rear swivel wheels offer the advantage of improved maneuverability especially when the cart is under load.
Multi Mover with Rear Swivel Wheels (67565)
The Multi Mover is our all time most popular hand truck due to it’s compact nature and incredible strength. It rides on four 10″ flat free tires that feature closed cell foam construction resulting in performance like an air tire without the necessary maintenance. Overall capacity is rated at 800 lb. Rear wheels make all the difference when operating heavy loads and our Multi Mover is an industry leader in load stability. Traditionally we offered rear wheels that were fixed (not swivel) but NEW for 2024 we have added an option for swivel rear wheels. This small change makes a huge improvement in the operation of the cart. It is now much easier to operate the cart with oversized loads. Of course, if you need even more capacity you should check out out the Multi Mover’s bigger brother, the Multi Mover XT which features a 1200 capacity.

Mantis with Rear Swivel Wheels (67566)
The Mantis Hand Truck is the perfect option for hauling tables, chairs and other awkward items. Similar to the Multi Mover, it rides on four 10″ flat free tires that feature closed cell foam construction resulting in performance like an air tire without the necessary maintenance. Overall capacity is rated at 800 lb. The Mantis is commonly used with our chair pallet that allows the operator to load up to 50 polyfold chairs up in one trip. The extra weight of the chairs makes the rear wheels very important for moving the load. In the past we offered rear wheels that were fixed (not swivel) but NEW for 2024 we have added an option for swivel rear wheels. This small change makes a huge improvement in the operation of the cart, especially when its loaded down with chairs. Stop by our ARA booth (1037) to test drive a Mantis Hand Truck along with our chair pallet! Shop the Mantis Hand Truck Online

5. Lock in ARA member pricing and your preferred delivery date.
Pricing at the show is the most competitive pricing of the year. When you order at the show, it locks in your pricing and ensures the best value for your company. Ordering at the show also allows you to consider your ideal delivery date. We will do our absolute best to hit that delivery date and the earlier the order is made in the year, the easier it is for us to get that order ready for an on time delivery.
