Something better then handtruck?

[HajtoCK]

Hello, is there something better then handtruck to transport stuff from car to store? I need to spend 5 minutes to unload my car using this handtruck with 4 spaces.

ika has a 8 slot cart

albeit i would suggest just calling the business over the phone and ordering it to your business, then you can just place the handtruck by the door to the business, take one, grab the items, bring em in, repeat until all are inside and start unpacking

[HajtoCK]

Yeah but I can't put this from ika into the van

i would like the developer to make this available as a purchasable item, it would really help in loading / unloading

but you can transport it with Taxi + U-Train (must be loaded with min. 1 item)

I want the ability to dump all the items out onto the floor in one click personally, atm I just drag like 8 handcarts full of boxes into my store at once

I don't think you have to load the cart to teleport it with a taxi, but it will despawn if you go into a store or leave one with nothing on top of it. You can keep a box on it to stop it from ever despawning if you want, but I'd probably suggest just moving your truck to your store and then going to get the cart via taxi.

It would be nice to be able to transport the ika 8 slot trolley.
Have it available in warehouse as default / purchase option from appliance shop.
Have it take up 2 slots instead of the 1 slot trolley when transporting via vehicles.
Perhaps an auto unload (similar to auto park feature) where it will auto unload into business when parked outside business with delivery..

I had a few Ikea carts at key spots until went full automation. Just leave one item on them so they don't vanish.

Also early - sell car, get Ikea cart. Running is almost as fast as driving considering all the parking and red lights.

I wish NY DISTRO had these carts.

Honestly, I wish ALL supply stores had the x8 carts, and not just IKA

Please add this to the game. :)

I don't mind my "small" stores only having hand truck... but the carts are way better.

Even with this, you need to hand cart it into the building. Creating a huge clothing store, with 64 clothing racks is 16 handcart trips

^^^ This right here.

Now, I'm new to this game so, there's probably aspect I don't know yet ... but this crap of having to place one box at a time from the hand truck to the floor has got to go ... this is the kind of crap that will make me stop playing this game and not give it a good review ... I won't give it a bad review, I just won't recommend it. Click-Fests are ALWAYS a "no" from me.

Yeah getting a big 16 item delvery outside of your building is annoying having to make 4 back and forth trips with a handtruck

FWIW, I take an IKA cart to ALL the supply stores and part it on the sidewalk (just have to leave 1 box on it to keep it from disappearing when finished with it), or leave it inside.

Any new location I'm starting up, I go to IKA, put a few things on a flat cart, and take a taxi to the new location (it magically takes your full cart with you).

I have dozens of these carts scattered all across the city. I rarely use the hand truck.

The handcart problem is backwards thinking. The palette should be delivered inside the store. Or you should be able to place the items in the store when you purchase them and the delivery "guy" sets up all the equipment for you.

The handcart is necessary when you are a one-man show. But when you are purchasing 50 desks, 50 computers, and 50 chairs for a 50-person office, you should not be the guy holding a handcart for any of those 150 items. And when you order those items, the office supply store should not tell you "we can only deliver them 18 at a time and you can only have one order pending from us at a time." Which is even more jarring in terms of reality breaking.

tl;dr "fixing" the handcart problem is a band-aid for all the things that really need fixing.

is in 5 days ready equipped, 6 days with the start, bring an bed/fridge/TV and an Storage-Shelf+Cleaning-station in first with IKA-Cart. I hold some everytime needed Items in my Warehouse, if the shops are closed, transport them from there ...

It is still ridiculous that someone with $100 Million is moving boxes on a hand truck.
