Wesco PT Pail Truck

The Wesco Industrial Products 240042 PT pail truck has two handles, a steel frame, and two semi-pneumatic wheels and is suitable for transporting up to four standard 5-gallon pails at once. Steel resists wear and corrosion. The joints of the frame are welded for strength. The semi-pneumatic wheels measure 2.75 inches wide and 10 inches in diameter, absorb shocks, need no inflating, and are resistant to punctures. This pail truck has a load capacity of 500 lb., weighs 40 lb., and measures 55 x 26 x 21 inches (H x W x D). (H is height, the vertical distance from lowest to highest point; W is width, the horizontal distance from left to right; D is depth, the horizontal distance from front to back.) Pallet trucks, also known as pallet jacks, skid jacks, and pump trucks, are used to lift and transport pallets or skids of goods. Pallet trucks can include a swivel pump handle, a squeeze trigger, two forks, and wheels for maneuverability, and typically contain a hydraulic cylinder or a battery-powered motor to raise and lower the forks. Some pallet trucks have an adjustable push rod on the bottom of each fork, allowing the user to modify the height. The company, founded in 1948, is headquartered in North Wales, PA.
