The journey of SANO Handtrucks began with a simple yet powerful idea in a small garage in Austria. Founder Jochum Bierma set out to engineer a practical solution for moving heavy loads up and down stairs safely and efficiently. This vision led to the birth of SANO GmbH — a company dedicated to creating innovative material handling solutions and powered stairclimbers.

After thirty-five successful years establishing SANO GmbH and two international subsidiaries, an opportunity arose to bring the company's revolutionary transport solutions to the American market. Jeroen van der Ploeg, after two decades in the dairy industry in New Mexico, embraced the challenge — launching SANO Handtrucks LLC as its Managing Director and introducing SANO's advanced electric stairclimbers to a new audience.

Operating from our distribution facility in Loganville, Georgia, SANO Handtrucks LLC stocks most models for fast domestic shipping and provides dedicated US-based customer support. Our mission remains the same as it was in 1989 — help businesses move heavy loads safely and efficiently, one staircase at a time.
