Aluminium Sack Truck FAQs

What is an aluminium sack truck?

A sack truck is a type of equipment used to help transport goods and are often found in warehouses and commercial settings such as offices. Sack trucks are ‘L’ shaped trolleys with two wheels, making the process of manual handling both easier and safer for the user.

How to use an aluminium sack truck

There are different types of sack trucks available so their operation may vary but this is generally how you use an aluminium sack truck:

• Place the load on the toe plate (ensuring weight is distributed safely and the heavy items are on the bottom).
• Hold onto the sack truck’s handles and tilt the truck backwards (you may need to press your foot onto the back of the sack truck to aid tilting heavier loads).
• Push the sack truck with the load to where you need to go.

It’s also important to ensure that when using the aluminium sack truck you don’t exceed its maximum load capacity and all items are secure to avoid goods from falling.

What are the benefits of an aluminium sack truck?

An aluminium sack truck can have many benefits for your workplace, including:

• They help to save time and increase productivity - as sack trucks allow you to stack goods on them, you can save time on travelling between locations, allowing employees to complete other important tasks.
• They can be used to safely transport loads - manual handling can lead to injuries (particularly to the back) but sack trucks help to decrease the risks involved with manual handling when used correctly
• They are solid and durable - All Manutan products are tested and approved by our teams and our aluminium sack truck products are built to stand the test of time.

Which sack truck is right for me?

Here at Manutan we have a wide range of sack trucks available and you may not be certain which is best for your needs. Here are a few things for you to consider:

• What will you be using the sack truck for? Whether you’re looking for an aluminium sack truck for use in an office or warehouse, you should first consider what the truck will be used for to determine the required style and capacity. For example, if you will need to use the sack truck to transport goods up and down stairs, you should consider stairclimbing sack trucks which are designed to safely manoeuvre staircases.
• What weight capacity is appropriate? Sack trucks range in their maximum load capacity so you should consider the typical weight of items you’ll likely be handling. We sell heavy duty sack trucks for those working with heavier loads.
• Do you need a particular type of tyre? Your working environment could impact which sack truck is right for you as different tyres have different qualities. For example, semi-pneumatic tyres are best suited to solid flat surfaces and stair climbing tyres can rotate and ‘climb’ steps.
• Do you need a mobile sack truck? If you’re likely to need a sack truck on the move (perhaps you or your staff attend events and need to transport equipment more easily) you could consider a folding aluminium sack truck which can be folded up when travelling.
• How much available space do you have? Consider how much floor space you have as this may determine whether you require a folding aluminium sack truck which can be folded and stored away when not in use.
• What is your budget Here at Manutan we sell aluminium sack trucks at competitive prices but your budget is also likely to be a key factor in deciding which aluminium sack truck is right for you.
