For all manner of warehouses and factories that are involved in the dispatch of a large number of items or packages, whether they be manufacturers, wholesalers, removal companies or in the self storage industry the right handling equipment is a necessary requirement to operate efficiently and safely. There is one place where you can be assured of finding it all, right here at the leading self storage packaging material suppliers Simpson Packaging. We offer a varied range of warehouse and handling equipment encompassing everything from packing room equipment to heavy duty furniture movers and pallet trucks.

However, there are just a few items of such equipment that we would especially like to highlight. You may be interested in our sack trucks for use in your warehouse, in which case, you will be impressed by our extensive range of general purpose sack trucks, whether you require a 200kg capacity standard duty sack truck or a 300kg capacity heavy duty sack truck or angle iron sack truck. We're confident that these cost effective steel trucks with their considerable strength and durability will meet your general day to day requirements. If you were to need truck spares, like replacement wheels and rubber hand grips, you'll be pleased to know that we offer these, too.

For those of you that require a professional truck that can be used for seemingly any application, it is difficult to look past the Alutruck. This 300kg load capacity truck is extremely strong and very durable, thanks to its manufacture from super lightweight aluminium which offers even greater strength than the cheaper steel alternatives. The Alutruck’s modular construction enables the  easy fitting of upgraded parts such as frame extensions or oversized foot plates. Precision ball bearing axles allow for smoother running, the foam filled tyres are puncture proof and you also won't spot any stress cracks or welding. The most that you may need to do on a rare occasion is tighten up a nuts or bolt. As there is no paint work to be chipped the Alutruk retains a like new appearance year after years.

Also available in our Alutruck range is the Alutruk Stair Climber, with its two sets of three triangular set wheels to climb steps easily by continuously rotating. Such trucks are ideal for use in commercial office environments where stairs are the only access. We also see plenty of demand for our cash and carry/self store trolley, which boasts a strong tubular steel powder coated construction with a zinc plated steel platform. The spring loading of this platform for nesting makes it the perfect truck for cash and carry retail environments and self storage warehouses. A large platform size and a 615kg load capacity means that it can be well loaded with goods for moving.

There is though another range of trucks that are low cost whilst being fast and easy to use, dolly trucks. These are the trucks to purchase if you would like to more easily move heavy boxes and plastic crates, minimising the amount of arduous lifting and carrying. Available in various platform sizes, so that you can select the one that best suits your intended application. These dolly trucks avoid floor marking thanks to their nylon castor wheels. New into our stock range is the plastic, interlocking dolly truck.  This heavy duty dolly truck measuring 600mm x 400mm features high tack rubber pads on it’s surface to stop items slipping during use.  The key advantage of using this truck is that should you find a larger item requires moving the dolly truck will securely interlock with another to create double the surface area for use. This guards against items too large ever overbalancing. This interlocking technique can be done with numerous trucks if ever require. After use if you have multiple trucks to store they can be safely stacked without the risk of collapsing like conventional trucks due to the recessed wheel holes on the truck surface which keep the stack level at all times.

Choose ex-stock or custom-built dolly trucks in accordance with your own company's requirements, or investigate the rest of our extensive range of handling equipment here at Simpson Packaging.
