Basics

My latest job has these on all company trucks and they are VERY nice.
For bulky stuff like full barrels and whatnot you roll them or use the trolley for them and once on yhe lowered platform the hydraulics do all the lifting work
On a related bit, one of the trucks has removable fence like side panels which allow loading pallets or IBC Totes via a forklift directly which is another nice feature
- Seems Stake Truck is the term for this
The G2 Series is what we have

Some sort of integrated scale would be neat. I’ll have to read up what an overload situation would look like, it may take a stack of lead bricks or something but it does sound “unhappy” sometimes if that makes any sense with some of the barrels!
Also for Yard Work it can ‘’BARELY’’ fit a Ride On/ Zero Turn Lawn Mower (at least the model we have, I’ll try and grab the brand/model of lawn mower we have). Having one with some sort of folding section to get a few more inches farther out would be nice for that. Granted “right tool for the right job” and all that (ie use a proper Landscaping Trailer , but a Stake Truck on it’s own is ‘’really’’ handy!
