Rough terrain pallet truck

[Dave Martin]

Got an e mail about this the other day. I am thinking that it may be useful for deliveries. Has anyone got any experience of them?

One of my rock suppliers have a manual old version of these and rates it highly for moving granite around a job site. Looks a handy bit of kit for moving bulk bags

Here we go mine is not powered or braked. It is hardwork to push about with 500kg of logs unless ground is level. It is very wide and leaves big gaps between pallets if you are trying to make best use of space. Its a large piece of kit and will almost fill a transit drop side. Unless it has a braking system I would not want to use down a ramp or on a tail lift. It only lifts about 8" so bags need to be on a palllet. I was thinking of modifying mine to hold bulk bags open and move once full.

Hi,

 

While I readily admit that I am affiliated with this website, you may find it helpful: Rough Terrain Pallet Trucks | liftmate.co.uk.

 

It shows the electric model mentioned above and a range of other rough terrain pallet trucks.

They cost around 750 £ + they are quite heavy. Its a comfortable option, but weight and price put me off eventually from getting one of these. Would work great to get around on gravel
