Sack Truck

Sack Truck

Our material handling equipment range of sack trucks are designed for industrial and commercial applications. At the lighter end they are for  shop and office use whereas at the heavy end, the top left hand sack truck section are U.K. made, include 25mm solid steel axles and with a huge safety factor in built to handle industrial environments.

They are the cheapest products we do outperforming other cheap disposable sack trucks by a margin of 28 to 1 and an average life of 10 years for one sack truck - unbeatably good value. There is however something there for everyone and to suit even the most frugal of budgets, see our budget sack truck range   We will make any sack truck application specific, please call us for help with any material handling equipment requirement.

The main job of the sack truck was carrying wool sacks, from whence it derives its name. The main role of the sack truck today is van deliveries. We make them to carry up to 10 or more boxes at a time, handling loads well over 100kgs (some compressed wool sacks were rated at a whopping 500kgs and I still have my Grandfather's designs for them!!) The sack truck design moves nested, stacked chairs in schools and village halls, dust bins and and a variety of odd shapes including gas cylinders - they all employ the same principle.  We still make the wooden sack truck which is a beautifully crafted  combination of blacksmith's metal work and hand crafted carpentry.   It handles like no other piece of material handling equipment and is a feather weight balance just perfectly poised to almost finger tip operator control. We have made them that way now for over 200 years! You can still see working examples of their ancestors on restored steam railways. For the price of a family day out you can have one of your own, it will last  you years!! A wooden sack truck is still the best you can buy!  The sack truck also folds, we have a sack truck to climb stairs and a sack truck with padding and protection for delivering delicate items and white goods.
