FAQ

Can this pallet truck be used in chillers or freezers?

Yes — the galvanised finish makes it resistant to moisture and suitable for cold storage environments.

Does galvanisation affect strength?

No — it maintains the same robust load capacity as standard steel pallet trucks.

Is it maintenance-free?

It still requires basic lubrication, but galvanisation significantly reduces corrosion-related maintenance.
