A telescopic sack truck is designed to move heavy loads easily and quickly. A sack truck is designed with two wheels at the bottom, a vertical handle bar and a flat ledge. The goods are placed on the flat ledge and pulled back so the load is resting on the wheels, the handles are then used to steer the truck. A telescopic sack truck is even easier to move around than a standard sack truck as they are made from lightweight aluminium, the entire sack truck usually weighs around 7kg.
Why is a Telescopic Sack Truck so useful?
A telescopic sack truck is very useful for a business for a number of reasons. One being that it is in a business’ best interest to take good care of its employees, moving heavy boxes and loads, no matter how well trained the employees are, is prone to injury which may lead to time off work. The employees using a telescopic sack truck, which is super light for ease of maneuvering, will be lighter on their backs and legs thus less chance of injury.
Another reason why businesses would benefit from using telescopic sack trucks is the amount of time they can save. Your shop will benefit more from having new stock put out on the shelves as soon as possible. Your employees will be able to unload the delivery truck and get it out on to the shop floor a lot faster if they had lighter equipment which is easier and quicker to shift. The delivery truck could then get on to its next job a lot faster and with the time difference saved could possibly fit in another job.
How much do Telescopic Sack Trucks cost?
The cost of a Telescopic Sack Truck will depend on where you are purchasing your sack truck from. A Telescopic Sack Truck with a maximum capacity of 100 kg will cost around £35 – £50. Some of these sack trucks have the feature of folding away so they are easy to store, the flat ledge where the load usually sits folds upwards so the truck is slimmer in width and does not need as much room to store.
Telescopic sack trucks do not usually hold as much as standard sack trucks with their maximum capacity being around 100 kg oppose to 350 / 400 kg but they are faster and easier to move because they are so light in weight.
