The PodRunner™ portable delivery system consists of a fully customizable payload (the “Pod”) 
securely attached to a scissor-lift chassis with all-terrain tires (the "Runner"). PodRunner™ 
mounts on any standard 2” trailer hitch, and the scissor-lift chassis enables one person to easily 
load and unload the unit from the hitch without lifting—and then roll it to the destination.

 

PodRunner™ fits through standard doorways and can be used on elevators and escalators.
