Motorized Platform Carts

Motorized platform carts are some of the most versatile material handling solutions for incorporating ergonomics in the workplace. Flatbed electric carts can be implemented on the retail floor, in the warehouse or machine shop, or even the clinic. Anywhere heavy boxes, materials, and equipment need transporting, electric platform carts can get the job done more safely and efficiently.
- Increase efficiency in a workspace
- Protect employees from musculoskeletal injuries caused by unmitigated push/pull forces
- Easily maneuver tight spaces
- Include a wide range of payload capacities, standard up to 4,000 pounds, customs up to 40,000 pounds
- Customizable for specialized materials and/or environments, with options fabricated from stainless steel and aluminum up to an ingress rating of IP66
