I am offloading 10 to 15 plastic bags of groceries from Walmart, Shoprite..- will this bag work to transport from my van to door using sm. hand truck?

I would say so, but like stilegal says, I would be careful as to how much you put in to it at one time if the items are heavy. The handles are great, and it is big, so there is no problem there.

Sure. It'll hold them - volume wise. I don't know how heavy all those groceries could weigh, but the bottom is plastic and I can't say how well it''s attached to the sides. It's durable, but I only use it for yard debris, cuttings, trimmings, leaves, etc - nothing too heavy. Soda, water bottles, a lot of canned goods could get heavy. Using a hand truck would help as long as the weight was distributed along a portion of the bottom and the side that rests along the handle uprights. You'd have to hold onto it really tight to keep it steady on the small base of a hand truck. Hope this helps.

No it won't...but be aware, the bag can get very heavy, depending on how many items you put in it!

This is probably overkill for groceries. I would consider one of those basket carts, since weight isn't really much of a consideration. This is more heavy duty and can hold a lot of weight. Its an awesome cart I totally recommend it, but more for moving amps and equipment into clubs than groceries down a hallway. Though it does condense nicely, it still takes up a lot of space, especially if moving lighter items is your only need.

The bag is heavy duty with a very stiff insert in the bottom liner. The bags attaches to the frame on the handle and sits on the bottom frame. If you take the bag off, you can use the frame to haul other items. With the bag I've hauled about 30 pounds of groceries with no trouble. Have used it for over 2 years now, several times a week and at least 6 blocks with every trip. No problems.

I mounted an eight gallon Rubbermaid Action Packer on this rack. I regularly carry bags of groceries which can be quite heavy. Another reference is a thirty-pack of soda which just fits in the container. No problems. I now own two of these racks and recommend them because of the triple support rather than just the usual doubles.

I assume you mean the standard grocery store plastic bags that they pack your items in at checkout. The answer is no, they won't take them as the unit is too deep. We use GLAD "ForceFlex" large trash bags - 30 Gallon. Any 20-30 gallon plastic bag will do.

Yes, it hold the grocery bags very well. My canned goods don't go rolling all over the place and my six packs don't tip over, either. If you arrange the bags properly, you also shouldn't need to worry about your produce getting squashed by bags of other things.

I haven't actually mounted mine yet but sitting on the ground looking into the bag it appears that a brown grocery bag would fit easily. The height is close. Meaning since you have to roll the bag closed it would probably squish the contents at the top of a brown grocery bag. Hope this helps

I'm not familiar with what hand trucks will do as I've never used one. But . . . . being a female that was used to doing everything for herself and doing lots of lifting (50# sacks of dog food until they now are 40#) and now my back won't let me do that any more. I use it mainly for unloading our 4 or 5 40# sacks of cat food from the pickup to the house and then one at a time as needed, taking one sack outside and putting it in a large container for feeding. In my office it is VERY handy for moving a case of 10 reams of paper and other heavy items. It folds up and takes up hardly any room. I wish I had gotten one of these years ago!!

Hi Carol. It folds up nice and compact so it would fit perfectly on the bottom of your grocery cart leaving the entire basket for groceries. It's an amazing cart. I think you will love it. It's the best quality for the price that I have found. Blessings. Amber

Probably but I save $$ by just using the plastic shopping bags given by the supermarkets and by not purchasing garbage bags at all. Any plastic bag with side handles will work as you fold the bag over the top and the side handles hook around the structure to keep it in place. We love ours as we have a trash chute in our bldg where we need to keep our bags of waste to a minimum- and the contraption conceals nicely under our sink cabinet. Highly recommended!!

I have even gotten the ziplock hand pump bags to work with this thing. As long as it's the right material, it will work.

Ya it will work. But this product sucks! Did a cross country trip and hala way through we gave up on it and went to sears and got a hard case one. The zipper broke immediately!

as long as you then put the delievery bag into somekind of shipping box that will work, not sure if you were planning on shipping it as it and let the carrier sender pick it up by the handles, if so that may cause an issue. or is this a one time only thing.

Not heavy duty as we would normally define it. I have been using mine for six month with no difficulties, though. It works fine for general grocery hauling. (Even through the snow). All wheels are locked in position, so you will have to tip it to steer properly. I think it is just fine for the low price!

It should work. I had the same problem with a shopping cart and the wheels worked fine.

No problem at all. I was reluctant to buy this unit since it costs so much more than other ones on Amazon. This one is built really tough and I expect it to last awhile. Plus, our son can haul in all of the groceries at one time vs. making separate trips to the car. The bottom of it is is a rubbery non-skid surface so it doesn't slide around. Best of luck.
