CONT

Low-lift platform trucks provide a low platform for use with skids and certain types of metal boxes. These boxes provide a space for entrance of the platform and the front wheels of the truck. Since the front wheels ride under the load, the truck does not require counterbalancing and therefore heavier loads can be handled for a given size truck than with a fork truck. Capacities of these trucks vary from 2,000 to 10,000 lb. and more.
