FAQs
What is the maximum weight capacity?
The sack truck is rated for a maximum load capacity of 250kg.
Can this be used on grass or gravel?
Yes, the 260mm pneumatic tires are designed to handle varied outdoor surfaces, including grass and gravel, much better than hard plastic wheels.
Is the footplate adjustable?
No, this model features a fixed footplate to ensure maximum structural rigidity and stability under heavy loads.
Does it require assembly?

How do I maintain the tires?
Treat the pneumatic tires like those on a bicycle; check for punctures, remove embedded debris, and keep them inflated to the recommended pressure.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty rolling over bumps
Check the air pressure in the pneumatic tires; under-inflated tires significantly increase rolling resistance.
Squeaking during movement
Apply a light machine lubricant to the wheel axle points to ensure smooth rotation.
Load feels unstable
Ensure the load is centered on the fixed footplate and lean the truck back at a consistent angle to maintain gravity balance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The unit arrives fully welded. Ensure the tire pressure is checked upon arrival to maintain ease of movement.
Compatibility: Ideal for use with standard shipping pallets, crates, and cartons. The 560mm width allows it to pass through most standard commercial doorways.
Care: Periodically inspect the pneumatic tires for debris or leaks. If the truck is used in damp environments, ensure it is wiped clean to maintain the integrity of the epoxy powder coating. Store in a dry area when not in use to extend the lifespan of the pneumatic components.
