When you lose cases of beer due to a material handling accident, it's time to buy a Stärke AC Pallet Truck

An excellent example of the benefits of the Stärke Continuous Stability System on an electric pallet truck was recently witnessed by Stärke dealer sales representative Brian Harmon of LIFT Inc. in Buford, Georgia. As he stood in the warehouse of a beverage company, presenting a demonstration of the Stärke PT45WAX AC electric walkie pallet truck, the lack of a proper stability system became shockingly obvious.

The scene was one of hurried operators in a fast paced distribution facility. Brian was speaking with the warehouse manager about the new Stärke PT45WAX. He had - seconds ago - finished explaining the Stärke Continuous Stability System (which comes standard on all electric pallet trucks) when an operator rounded a corner in front of them a little too sharply, and the competitor unit - fully stocked with several cases of beer - lost a few cases from the top layer, which fell from the load. The outcome was a loud crash on the concrete floor, and a resulting pool of beer.


“That wouldn’t happen with a Stärke, would it?” The manager stated sincerely, pointing at the mess, frowning over the loss.

Brian just shook his head. “No, sir.” He said, looking down in a moment of silence for the lost beer.

This story could have saved the company money rather than lost money with a Stärke AC pallet truck which does not depend on raised fixed stop supports to keep the truck from tipping, but rather cantilevered spring loaded casters, which have constant contact with the floor.

Thanks to our Georgia Dealer, Lift Inc., and Brian Harmon for the enlightening story.
