Counterbalance Trucks
Summary
Counterbalance Trucks - These trucks are fitted with telescopic masts with the load carried ahead of the front (load) wheels.
Technical Information
They are used within buildings and externally for block stacking, in storage racking up to 7m high and for general materials movement. Because they approach stacking and racking face on, aisle widths are generally in excess of 3m.
Truck tyres are usually solid rubber or pneumatic. Rubber tyres can be aggressive on dusty or wet floors surfaces and it is important to keep floors clean to avoid such conditions. Counterbalance trucks can tolerate relatively uneven surface joints.
