UpCart® City Wins 2018 Retailer’s Choice Award and Funds on Kickstarter in the Same Week
COLUMBUS, Ohio (PRWEB) May 15, 2018 -- TriFold LLC, the award-winning maker of the innovative and successful UpCart® line of products, wins a Retailer’s Choice Award for their newest product, the UpCart® City. UpCart City was one of about 30 products (out of 3,000 exhibitors) awarded the Retailer’s Choice Award at the 2018 National Hardware Show that took place in the Las Vegas Convention Center from May 7-9. Products selected are considered the most innovative products out on the market today. Unlike other awards, the products honored at the Retailers’ Choice ceremony are not selected by editors. Instead, these products are chosen from the thousands of items on the show floor by a panel of home improvement retailers and small business owners who volunteer their time to serve as judges.
UpCart City launched on Kickstarter the week before the 2018 National Hardware Show and successfully hit its funding goal on Mother’s Day. To learn more about the UpCart City, visit the Kickstarter campaign page: https://kck.st/2IANlls
The release of this new hand cart is significant because it is the most lightweight and compact cart in their product line, folding completely flat for easy storage and capable of going up and down stairs or traversing rough terrain.
The patented technology has the UpCart® City folding to 4.5 inches flat. Weighing in at less than 8 pounds, this climbing cart is lightweight making it easy to put away and retrieve from closets and cars. Even with its ability to be compactly stored, the UpCart® City still handles up to 77 pounds of weight capacity. It also comes with a custom-fitted bag to help transport anything from groceries to laundry.
“This hand cart is a game changer to our business and we are very excited to debut this at the 2018 National Hardware Show. We listened to our customers when they said they wanted something lighter and more compact. The UpCart City is a perfect example of the company’s continued innovation based on consumer needs for better functionality,” said Co-Founder and CEO Michael Reznik. “The focus on simplifying the transportation of bulky or heavy items for those living in the city, upper-floor apartments or any place with stairs has always been part of our core mission. We are excited to make the UpCart City a part of our legacy.”
The UpCart® City addresses the need for a stair-climbing dolly that is more compact and easy for everyday use. UpCart® products have been independently tested by testing agency Bureau Veritas and proven to reduce effort by up to 64% up and down stairs when compared to two-wheeled hand trucks.
“Based on the response from thousands of satisfied customers, we knew we had a solid and successful design with our UpCart Original. It was a natural progression of our company to bring this new hand cart to consumers,” noted Leonid Khodor, Co-Founder and President of TriFold LLC. “Through our product line, we are able to provide value and reduce efforts for every demographic. Whether it is a senior citizen looking for help with groceries with the UpCart City, a student moving into a dorm with our UpCart Deluxe or a delivery person hauling boxes with our UpCart Lift, there is no demographic that would not have a need or value from our product line.”
TriFold LLC has been producing UpCart® products since 2015 when it launched the UpCart® Original at the 2015 National Hardware Show in Las Vegas. The design and functionality of the folding six-wheeled cart caught much attention at the show and they were awarded the “Most Innovative Concept” award for the UpCart Original. In 2016, TriFold was awarded its first “Retailer’s Choice Award” when it was selected by a panel of independent home improvement retailers from thousands of products on display at the show.
