Top Platform Trucks for Every Industry: A Buyer’s Guide

May 2, 2025

Platform trucks are essential tools for efficiently transporting heavy or bulky items in various settings, including warehouses, offices, and retail environments. A Plus Warehouse offers a diverse selection of platform trucks designed to meet different material handling needs.

Types of Platform Trucks Offered by A Plus Warehouse

1. Aluminum Platform Trucks

These trucks are lightweight yet durable, making them ideal for both indoor and outdoor use. Aluminum's corrosion resistance and strength at low temperatures provide advantages over steel. Some models feature foldable designs for easy storage, suitable for office or light industrial applications. Additionally, dual-purpose hand trucks can convert into platform positions for larger loads, offering versatility in handling tasks. 

2. Metal Platform Trucks

Constructed from all-welded steel, these trucks are designed for heavy-duty applications. An example is the Hallowell U-Boat, which is 60 inches long and 16 inches wide, featuring a non-slip surface for load stability. Its narrow design makes it suitable for navigating tight retail aisles. 

3. Wood Platform Trucks

These trucks feature thick, kiln-dried hardwood decks with cross battens for added strength. Available in sizes like 30" x 60" and 36" x 72", they are rugged and affordable options for medium-duty tasks. Pipe handles bolted to either end enhance maneuverability. 

4. Specialty Platform Trucks

  • U-Boat Trucks: Designed for retail environments with narrow aisles, featuring diamond deck surfaces for improved grip and polyurethane casters for smooth movement.

  • Adjustable Sheet and Panel Trucks: Ideal for transporting large or small quantities of sheet materials like plywood or drywall. These trucks can also function as standard platform trucks, with capacities ranging from 1,600 to 2,000 pounds, depending on the wheel type.

Benefits of Choosing A Plus Warehouse Platform Trucks

  • Durability: High-quality construction ensures long-term use.
