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.

Avoid Accidents and Equipment Wear With Planned Maintenance For Your Material Handling Trucks

Remember, your materials handling equipment requires maintenance. It’s got moving parts, just like your car. Each part plays a role in safely operating your forklift or lift truck on a daily basis. Consider this: a forklift rumbles down your aisles or yard carrying 3 to 5 times as much weight as your car, and you have your car serviced regularly. When machines breakdown due to neglect, it effects your business, but more importantly, it becomes an unsafe piece of equipment and could injure an employee causing much more than downtime, it could be the precursor for a devastating accident and even a lawsuit.

Your business and those responsible for keeping your business running efficiently are your priorities. The equipment you use to assist employees in their efforts need to be well maintained. Training is also a must, but maintaining the equipment goes a long way in the prevention of injuries due to faulty equipment. Forklifts should be inspected daily by the operator and serviced by a licensed technician up to four times a year.

A Stärke brand product is an excellent example of superior engineering, but even the very best material handling equipment requires regular maintenance to ensure the vehicle is operating at peak efficiency. This service is recommended by the manufacturer of every brand of machinery and should be followed to safeguard your employees and your business from unexpected downtime and accidents.

The cost of an accident will far exceed the cost of a planned maintenance program. Stärke dealers are capable of servicing every make and model of forklift and lift truck, so if you have been on the fence about having a professional look at your material handling equipment, find a Stärke dealer near you and inquire about a planned maintenance program for your fleet of trucks.
