| 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.
