Designed for photographers, but good for the home. The Franzus Ladder Kart is a combination step ladder/ hand truck with a 250-pound capacity. For many of us, our small apartments have high ceilings, allowing us to expand upward if we can reach high enough. And, of course, we can all use a small cart for moving things about town...

That's where this handy two-in-one is particularly useful for the city-dweller with no space to spare. The product appears to be marketed toward photographers, but we can get in on the goods, too, at a price of only about $60.
