Phillips Handcart Company Presents
Create an Unforgettable Trek.
Handcart Rentals + TrekHQ™
One Partner. One System. One Unforgettable Trek.
Phillips Handcart Company provides handcart rentals plus TrekHQ™, a powerful pioneer trek operations command center that helps Trek Directors, trek leaders, and committees plan, coordinate, and prepare with confidence.
Watch First
Most Leaders Can See the Problems. TrekHQ™ Helps Them See the Trek.
If you have just been called to help lead a pioneer trek or LDS trek, questions come from every direction. TrekHQ™ shows how the details come together into an experience youth will remember for decades.
Free TrekHQ™ Lite Tool
Build a Free Trek Snapshot in Minutes
Give your leaders a fast first look at the size, structure, and moving parts of your trek before you commit to the full TrekHQ™ system.
Get Access to the Free Trek Snapshot Tool
Enter your trek basics once and the free TrekHQ™ Lite planner helps you preview readiness, recommended trek families, food and water estimates, a starter itinerary, and sample route ideas.
Estimate Families & Food
Preview recommended trek families, approximate youth per family, meal servings, water needs, and starter shopping estimates.
Start Seeing the Trek
Load a starter itinerary and view sample route options so the trek begins to feel organized instead of overwhelming.
This is the simple preview version. Full TrekHQ™ unlocks the complete dashboards, training videos, checklists, print-ready tools, food workflows, safety planning, registration tools, and committee resources.
The Problem
Most Trek Leaders Are Called Before They Feel Ready.
A Trek Director can see the problems, the responsibilities, and the hundreds of details demanding attention. But at first, it can be hard to see the actual trek.
An unforgettable trek does not happen by accident. It happens when food, water, transportation, trek registration, family assignments, activities, medical planning, emergency planning, clothing, equipment, route planning, training, and communications come together exactly as they should.
