Frequently Asked Questions

Each truck carries furniture blankets, ample shrink wrap, rubber bands, professional hand trucks, power tools and floor dollies.
Our PowerMate MB-2 Stair Climbing hand truck is available at an additional charge for heavy safes.
2. Why does Apollo Strong prefer trailers over box trucks?
