Technical evaluation
What decides the specification
These questions are worked through with you before any equipment is proposed. The answers are recorded so the specification can be audited later.
- 01
Who performs the task, how often?
Frequency, push-pull effort and posture decide whether a manual aid is appropriate or whether the task should be powered.
- 02
What is the working environment?
Wash-down, food contact, chemical exposure and temperature determine material and finish, including stainless and galvanised options.
- 03
What is the load geometry?
Awkward, unstable or non-palletised loads usually need a purpose-designed aid rather than a general-purpose truck.
Documentation
Figures we confirm from manufacturer sources
We do not publish capacities, dimensions or performance data on this website, because those figures are only meaningful for a specific configuration. For a quoted configuration, we supply the manufacturer's own documentation alongside our proposal.
