The manouevering of palletised loads is central to any warehouse or operational setting, so correct training for all operatives on how to use this type of machinery is vital to ensure the occurrence of accidents and/or injuries are minimised.

As an employer, the worst thing you can do is to not have regular maintenance, repairs, or servicing of your pallet trucks and other handling equipment to ensure they function correctly and safely. It is also vital that you ensure that anyone who is to operate this type of machinery is fully trained and competent in the handling of such machinery.

In any warehouse or operational setting, the most commonly used handling and lifting equipment are pallet (pump) trucks, stackers, highlift trucks, platform lifters, tow trucks, and scissor lift tables. These robust pieces of apparatus can ensure your business runs more smoothy and is much more efficient, but if any of these are used incorrectly, it can lead to serious accidents or injuries.

Also known as a cage mover, the tow tractor is designed for towing warehouse/delivery cages with ease, the hook is placed under the cage cross member enabling easy towing of the load.

With warehouse roll cages regularly weighing up to 1000kg, manouvering them manually severely heightens the risk of injury to the operator and for accidents to occur, which leads businesses all over the UK to seek safer handling solutions, which is where an electric model comes in.

To eliminate manual operation, an electric tow truck is an ideal choice, and enables the operator to move heavy roll cages safely and effectively, even on ramps and inclines.

Greatly reducing the risk of injury and accidents, an electric tow truck is ideally suited for creating safer loading, unloading, deliveries, manouvering, and processing of goods.

A tow truck will improve safety and boost your operative productivity.
