European case study

One of our European customers asked us to build them a 12 ton pallet truck to load metal coils into a shipping container. These coils were previously stored in a container by using a massive forklift. This forklift was not able to drive into the container and had to push the coils into it. Multiple people were involved in this process, which took several hours. Our custom-made 12 ton PTB pallet truck uses a ramp and only requires one person to use it. The container is now loaded within half an hour by using two powerful electric drive units that can drive over the 12% slope.
