Hand
trucks are made for abuse. They are worked hard every single
day. In one work day a typical hand cart might move over two
tons of material. That is a lot of weight. Good thing we invented
the wheel because without it hand trucks would not exist and
if your job requires moving two tons of inventory in a day
then your back and muscles would not hold up to the abuse.
Hand trucks make it easier.
There are many different hand trucks
on the market. Some are large and bulky. They can just slow
you down. What about aluminum hand trucks. The idea is good.
They are light weight so you can move them faster and you
will not tire as easily but can they withstand the constant
abuse that a warehouse will throw at them?
Aluminum is the worlds most abundant
metal and with it's superior qualities it only makes sense
that it would be widely used for so many applications. It
is extremely light but yet it is very strong. It is soft enough
to be machined into just about shape. Another great thing
about aluminum is that it resists corrosion and it is not
magnetic.
But the question still remains. Can
aluminum hand trucks handle the abuse? The answer is a simple
yes. The superior strength of aluminum allows you to move
a lot of weight easier and faster. Aluminum can also be welded
and carts constructed of aluminum are double and triple welded
in all of the places that receive the most stress. In short
these lightweight carts will stand up to the abuse and you
will gain more productivity which can save everyone some money.
