Aircraft
I was the Pilot Flying and after liftoff; the control wheel felt heavy. I tried to trim out the forces; but it did not work. I asked the First Officer to try his trim switches but they did not work either. I then engaged the auto pilot to see if that would trim the aircraft. That did not work. I then had the First Officer run the Stabilizer Trim Failure Checklist. The aircraft could be trimmed manually. I then had the First Officer fly the airplane. We then [advised ATC]. I notified the Dispatcher; flight attendants and passengers. Rest of flight and landing was uneventful.
Captain reported that the stabilizer trim system did not work after liftoff; aircraft manually trimmed and landed uneventfully.
