Canac Goes All in with Stärke's 4,000 lb. Electric Pallet Truck

Stärke is proud to announce that Canac – an independent retailer specializing in hardware and construction materials for over 135 years in Quebec – recently purchased acquired a small fleet of Stärke PT40XMA electric pallet trucks from our Quebec City dealership – Chariots Élévateurs National. For many, this account represents the growth and development of the Stärke brand in Quebec, especially given the size of the order and Canac's standing within the business community of Quebec.

Why Canac Chose Stärke?

One of the most important criteria for Canac was finding a piece of equipment capable of handling large loads and maneuvering within a retail environment without causing excessive damage to store merchandise. Taking this into consideration, Chariots Élévateurs National recommended Stärke’s 4,000 lb. electric pallet truck, the PT40MXA. Unlike some of the competition, the PT40MXA is able to deftly navigate tight corners and uneven surfaces without sacrificing the vehicle’s stability or the integrity of its load. This is accomplished through an innovative design feature known as the Continuous Stability System, which maintains constant contact with the ground through a fixed drive wheel supported by two spring loaded castors.

When combined with its solid construction, compact frame and ease of operation, Stärke's PT40 electric pallet truck represents the perfect combination of maneuverability and lifting power for retail operations such as Canac. And, since Stärke's Continuous Stability System comes standard with all Stärke LiftMaxx electric pallet trucks, owners of our LiftMaxx electric pallet trucks are guaranteed one of the most stable pallet trucks on the market. "Because it makes sense to expect peace of mind at a fair price".

Canac 

As a company with 24 regional branches and over 2,200 employees in the province of Quebec, Canac continues to expand its business in the region. Canac currently offers over 20,000 products including tools and hardware, painting supplies, flooring, construction materials, and automotive products.

Light, Medium and Heavy Duty Pallet Trucks / Jacks

Find strength in numbers by adding Stärke’s versatile team of electric pallet trucks, the PT40 and PT45, to your business today. With the compact and maneuverable PT40 and the efficient lifting power of the PT45, you’ll be able to handle light, medium and heavy duty applications (up to 4,000 and 4,500 lbs. respectively) and everything in between! “We’re seeing an upsurge in requests for compact pallet trucks across all industries as space becomes more and more valued in warehouses, distribution facilities and manufacturing sectors.” Says Jim Chesla, VP of Stärke material Handling Group. “The PT40 was designed out of necessity for delivery trucks, retailers and production facilities, but works well in general shipping and receiving applications as well, where narrow aisles demand a more compact piece of equipment.” 

Why choose Stärke over the competition?

-

As part of our commitment to providing our customers with high quality, innovative products, our new electric pallet trucks include several industry-leading design features. The Stärke Continuous Stability System, for example, reduces incidence of tipping while turning corners, or travelling on uneven surfaces. This system includes a fixed drive wheel supported by two spring loaded castors, which are in constant contact with the ground; supporting the stability of the lift truck. For ease of entry and release from pallets, all Stärke LiftMaxx electric pallet truck models incorporate skid entry wheels with bottom-boards while many of our competitors still favor solid entry plates. 

As you can see, Stärke has truly created one of the best electric pallet trucks on the market. With less than half the wearable parts of the competition, a Stärke electric pallet truck also requires fewer maintenance calls. An adjustable riser rod alters the height of your wheels with a simple nut adjustment, while offering ease of maintenance because of its simple, yet sturdy design. Stärke also uses metal components, rather than plastic, which means that there are fewer wearable parts, and less down-time.

The new compact electric pallet truck - an ideal solution for lift gate and local delivery applications

The new Stärke PT40MXA compact electric pallet truck is an ideal solution for lift gate and local delivery applications.

With a carrying capacity of 4,000 lbs and a 24-volt AC motor, the new PT40MXA electric pallet truck from Stärke delivers the perfect fit for tight working environments.

Because it’s more compact than a regular powered pallet truck, the operator experiences easier maneuverability when working in loaded trailers. The maintenance-free batteries and on-board charger ensure continuous performance throughout the day.

“We’re seeing an upsurge in requests for compact pallet trucks across all industries as space becomes more and more valued in warehouses, distribution facilities and manufacturing sectors.” Says Jim Chesla, VP of Stärke Material Handling Group. “The PT40MXA was designed out of necessity for delivery trucks, retail and production facilities, but works well in general shipping and receiving applications also, where narrow aisles make for a better use of space.”

The PT40 AC motor’s brushless design removes the need for routine inspection and maintenance, while supplying further advantages such as low noise level, and short turning radius’.

“The Stärke Continuous Stability System reduces incidence of tipping while turning corners, or travelling on uneven surfaces.” Michael Poeltl, marketing and dealer development specialist adds, “This system includes a fixed drive wheel supported by two spring loaded castors, which are in constant contact with the ground; supporting the stability of the lift truck.”

This model will be available in May/June but will be offered to Stärke dealers in March for pre-order. With the ever-changing state of the materials handling industry, Stärke will forever be your beacon for adaptation.
