Rolltek’s microcellular wheels, pneumatic wheels and solid rubber tyred wheels, suitable for use as sack truck wheels or sack trolley wheels.
January 13, 2012Sack trucks, also referred to as sack barrows, hand trucks, bag barrows or stack trucks are L shaped units usually manufactured from steel or aluminium, with 2 handles at one end, fitted with 2 wheels (these can be pneumatic wheels, microcellular wheels or solid rubber tyred wheels) either side of an axle at the base of the unit. The unit will stand upright when loaded and unloaded, and becomes mobile when the truck is tipped backwards, and the weight is balanced over the two wheels. The lever action of a sack truck makes it easier to manually handle both heavy and bulky items. Sack trucks are used to move items from one location to another along the floor. Objects or items that are weighty, bulky or awkward to move can easily be transported by a sack truck, items can be stacked on a sack truck making it easy and safe to move 3 to 4 times the users body weight.
Sack trucks and sack trolleys as described above are classified as general purpose, but there are options for more specialist requirements such as:
· Folding; when space is limited or the trolley needs to be transported
· Stairclimber; to allow the sack trucks to be easily moved up and down stairs
· Chair Sack Trucks; for use in schools etc
· Gas Bottle Sack Trucks; for use in medical environments etc
· Heavy Duty Sack Truck; these are similar to the general trucks but tend to have a larger when and a longer toe plate.
Whether you are manufacturing sack trucks, or repairing sack trucks, Rolltek International stocks the wheels you need for all these styles of sack truck and more. We carry in stock solid rubber tyred sack truck wheels, pneumatic sack truck wheels, and puncture proof sack truck wheels. Sizes normally used for this application are 160mm diameter to 250mm diameter wheels with a plastic or metal centre, plain bearing or roller bearing options are available. Our ranges of wheels have load capacities ranging from 120kg up to 250kg to suit many ranges of sack trucks.
The larger the wheel fitted, the easier the product is to push. If the units are fitted with larger diameter wheels it also means the sack trucks are easier to move up and down curbs and steps. If the sack trucks are fitted with our Pneumatic wheels, or our microcellular wheels also known as a puncture proof wheel (Which has all the benefits of a pneumatic wheel, without the risk of puncturing), they can be used on rough terrain.
