Pallet Trucks UK Launch New Hand Pallet Truck with Nylon Wheels

With an already extensive range of pallet trucks to choose from, Pallet Trucks UK have taken their status as one of the UK’s premier providers of lifting and handling equipment even further with the launch of a brand new hand pallet truck with nylon wheels. The truck is identical to other pallet trucks in many ways, with the resounding difference being the wheels, including the steering wheel. Regular pallet truck wheels are made from PU, but the nylon tires on this new model offers many convenient advantages that will benefit the purchasing business as a whole.

The main benefits are evident in the workplace itself. A honed level of performance in certain environments will improve overall performance to no end. These types of pallet trucks are essential for the workplaces where offshoots of metal or swarf may damage ordinary tires. Machine shops, repair workshops, manufacturing plants and other such businesses can put an end to their pallet trucks’ wheels failing, as these nylon tires are tough and much more hardwearing than the standard tire. Environments where oil, water or other liquids may affect the surface also leave the nylon wheels unaffected, improving their overall performance under tough conditions. One of the most common reasons for a PU tire disintegrating quickly or becoming damaged is the corrosion it also may face in a workplace; the nylon wheels don’t have this issue.

The knock-on effect of this improved performance in the workplace means that maintenance or repair budgets are boosted because businesses are not required to constantly repair or completely replace a pallet truck when the PU tyres fail. This leaves more money to invest in other equipment to take the business to the top of the competitive pile, and can even contribute to a higher level of profit in general. This is especially important in the volatile financial environment we live in, when companies are looking to save money in every area that they possibly can.

The single disadvantage that the nylon tyres have in comparison with their PU counterparts is their noise levels over concrete or uneven floors. If near-silent operation is a priority for a warehouse or factory, Pallet Trucks UK’s expansive range of trucks with PU tyres offer quiet operation and have a wide variety of specialist features, including traverse trucks, rough terrain trucks and trucks with extra length in the forks. The new trucks with nylon wheels are simply the latest addition to a range which fulfils any demands that someone looking for equipment might have
