I shouldn't imagine there are many of you who remember, Are ‘Friends’ Electric? by new wave band Tubeway Army, which was a popular number one in 1979. Their front man Gary Numan is still filling venues today with his charismatic show. Well, we have a ‘new wave’ of ‘electric friends’ here at Action Handling Equipment and we would like to share the great news about them with you.
The traditional pallet truck has its origins way back in the early 20th century with even cruder constructed forerunners dating as far back as the late 1890’s. That means we have been using manual pallet trucks for nearly 100 years, but there are some great electric options available and most of them do not cost as much as you might think! Is it time to upgrade your old manual model or consider adding a better and more efficient method of transporting goods around your site? Some companies still insist on using their forklift trucks, just to move goods around but the savings on downgrading this task to an electric pallet truck is considerable.
