Sack Trucks And The Footplate

Sack trucks are great for moving heavy loads and boxes from one location to another. The sack truck has two wheels at the bottom, a steering bar and handles and a foot plate. The foot plate is the ledge of the sack truck where the load and boxes are placed. Often on sack trucks a belt is provided securing the load in place while the sack truck is in movement, this is really handy for when you are moving tall heavy loads such as filing cabinets and large boxes that are prone to toppling over.

Sack Trucks and the different variations of Footplates

There are a few different options when it comes to the footplate of sack trucks. For example you can purchase a sack truck with a folding footplate. This is great for saving space and storing the sack truck away. The footplate simply folds up for when you are not using the sack truck and you can fold it down for when you need to use it.

Another variation of the footplate on a sack truck is a dual footplate. This has two footplates one larger than the other. The second larger footplate is for when the sack truck is maneuvering very heavy loads to give the load some extra support. The larger footplate of the sack truck can be folded away when it is not needed. A standard sack truck has a standard footplate which cannot be folded and it is a singular ledge. Extended footplates are available where the ledge is longer in length (sometimes up to 53cm) than a normal sack truck’s footplate.

Sack truck footplates – which option is best for you?

The best option of footplate for you depends on what you will be using the sack truck for, if you are not going to need to move heavy loads you can go for the standard sack truck with a normal footplate. If you do not have a lot of storage space take advantage of the folding footplate sack truck. These sack trucks are great as they can fit into places that a normal sack truck could not. If your requirements vary as to whether you move lighter or heavier loads then a dual footplate option would be best as you have the option of using it normally or using the second plate to give you more support and allowing you to carry heavier loads.
