Four Sided Mesh Platform Truck

FAQs for Q&A

What is a mesh platform truck?

A mesh platform truck is a platform truck with mesh panel sides to contain materials which are being transported. They are often used in workplaces such as warehouses and offices when moving heavy or bulky items from one location to another.

Where can a mesh platform truck be used?

Mesh platform trucks are versatile which makes them ideal for many commercial settings such as offices. Whether they can be used outside or on rough terrains may depend on the type of wheels they have - for example, pneumatic tyres may have better grip outdoors.

What are the benefits of a mesh platform truck?

• They are easy to use - thanks to their simple design, mesh platform trucks are very easy to use and feature high handles which makes maneuvering them a smooth task.
• The mesh panels contain the contents of the truck - Not all platform trucks have mesh panels/sides and in some cases, the mesh panels are removable to suit the users needs but they can help to reduce the risk of items falling off and getting damaged.
• They can improve productivity in the workplace - employees can save time travelling back and forth with a mesh platform truck which reduces wasted time and effort.
• They help to reduce injuries sustained by manual handling - According to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), over a third of injuries in the workplace are a result of manual handling. A mesh platform truck is used to relieve the pressure of manual handling off of employees and reduce the time they need to spend carrying heavy loads.
• They are durable - many mesh platform trucks feature a robust steel frame which resists damage.

Considerations for mesh platform trucks

Here are a couple of things for you to consider before buying a mesh platform truck:

• What materials will you be transporting? It is important for users not to exceed the maximum load capacity of a mesh platform truck in order to operate them safely and avoid causing damage.
• Where will you be using the mesh platform truck? If you need to use your platform truck outside it may be best to opt for pneumatic tyres.
