| Sack
Trucks |
|
| Q:
How do I know which Sack Truck model is suitable for my needs ? |
A:
The criteria to consider are : weight to be carried, size of the
load, type of load, type of terrain, storage space. |
|
|
| Q:
Which size foot do I need ? |
A:
The foot length should be kept as short as possible. For a firm load
(such as a box) it does not need to be as deep, for a softer load (a
sack) the foot must fully support the load. |
|
|
| Q:
I am concerned about damaging goods ! |
A:
Rubber or foam protection can be fitted to the truck. |
|
|
| Q:
What sort of wheel do I need for rough terrain ? |
A:
Any of our models with pneumatic tyred wheels would be suitable. |

Trucks |
|
| Q:
What is meant by easy steer truck? |
A:
Easy steer trucks have two centrally mounted fixed castors and
one swivel castor at each end which makes it highly manoeuvrable but
reduces the load capacity. |
|
|
| Q:
What is meant by firm load truck? |
A:
Firm load trucks have two fixed castors one end and two swivel
castors the other giving it a high load capacity and stability. |
|
|
| Q:
Are the four sides all removable ? |
A:
Yes on both the plywood and mesh models. |
|

|
|
| Turntable
Trucks |
|
| Q:
What type of tyre is best solid or pneumatic ? |
A:
Tyre choice depends on the environment in which the truck is to be
used. Solid tyres move easily on firm even surfaces and will not
puncture. Pneumatic tyres are best on soft or uneven ground and
absorb shock loads better. |
|
|
| Q:
Can all the sides be removed ? |
A:
Yes all sides are removable and the corner posts can be unbolted if necessary
making the truck into a flatbed. |
|
|
| Mobile
Safety Steps |
|
| Q:
How do I know which size steps suit my needs? |
A:
The top platform height should be no more than 1500mm lower than the
maximum required working height. Always check the overall dimensions
and clearances before ordering. |
|
|
| Q:
My aisles are narrower than your step width ! |
A:
Overall width of steps can be reduced but for taller steps only when
there is racking on both sides. |
|
|
| Quality
versus Price |
|
| Q:
I have seen a similar product much cheaper! |
We
strive to keep our prices competitive but there are cheaper imported
products. Our aim is to provide a quality product which will
represent value for money over a number of years. |
| Q:
Are spare parts readily available ? |
The
quality of our products means they rarely need any replacement
parts, but because we source our bought in parts from reliable
sources we can still offer parts for our trolleys many years after
manufacture. |
