The term sack truck is predominantly used in the UK. Worldwide they are often known as dollys. An industrial sack trucks are made of heavy duty metal, while household/office trucks versions are more lightweight and tend to be made of alluminium.
There are several types of sack trucks, stair climbing sack trucks, 2 and 3 way folding sack trucks, and heavy duty sack truck. Stair climbing sack trucks are ideal for transporting goods up / down solid stairs. Folding sack barrows can also be converted into flat bed hand trolleys, so serve as a useful multi-purpose.
Sack trucks are ideal for transporting large office equipment such as filing cabinets and storage cupboards. They are also useful for transporting storage boxes and archive boxes. They are often used by porters and other manual handling personnel.
The design of the sack trucks, and in particular the toe plate, enables goods to be placed directly onto the truck, or when lifting filing cabinets, can easily be slipped under the cabinet when the cabinet is tilted. The barrow can then be used as a tilt lever, placing most of the weight of the transported item onto the wheels
A truck should only be used by individuals whom are trained in manual handling equipment. Prices for industrial trucks start from £78.25
