Pallet Trucks UK, one of the UK’s leading suppliers of pallet trucks and other manual handling apparatus, is leading the calls for all businesses to be prepared for any eventuality by investing in spare parts and accessories that could save them in case of an emergency.
With all of the heavy lifting and transporting huge loads, day in, day out, even the most robust pallet trucks can require some additional maintenance and part replacement – but if you don’t have the parts on-site ready to fit in case of a broken or malfunctioning pallet truck, businesses face days of decreased productivity while they wait for a replacement part or truck to arrive. Pallet Trucks UK are urging all businesses to ensure they have an adequate stockpile of spare parts and truck accessories that will ensure, even if the unlikely event of a truck failure, they will be able to continue operations after a brief break to fit the replacement part,
Phil Chesworth, of Pallet Trucks UK, strongly advocates having an extensive array of wheels, chocks and other accessories, just in case. He says, “We already know that pallet trucks and many of the other forms of manual handling equipment that we stock are incredibly robust and hardwearing. But with the amount of work they carry out on a daily basis, it is expected that eventually they will need some maintenance. A wheel might fail, a handle might need replacing, and we often find that businesses have been caught out by not stocking up on these crucial spare parts.
