The Wesco 273291 galvanized steel U-boat truck has two removable handles, a tread plate deck, and six polyurethane caster wheels and is suitable for moving boxes or other heavy items. The truck is made of galvanized steel for resistance to wear, rust, and corrosion. The tread plate deck helps keep loads from slipping. The polyurethane caster wheels won't puncture or go flat and are resistant to impact and wear. The four wheels at the corners swivel for maneuverability and measure 1.25" wide and 4" in diameter. The two wheels at the center are rigid and measure 2" wide and 8" in diameter for turning the truck. This U-boat truck has a load capacity of 1,750 lb., weighs 97 lb., and measures 60 x 16 x 60 inches overall (H x W x L). (H is height, the vertical distance from lowest to highest point; W is width, the horizontal distance from left to right; L is length, the horizontal distance from front to back.) The deck is 10.75" high.

Pallet trucks, also known as pallet jacks, skid jacks, and pump trucks, are used to lift and transport pallets or skids of goods. Pallet trucks can include a swivel pump handle, a squeeze trigger, two forks, and wheels for maneuverability, and typically contain a hydraulic cylinder or a battery-powered motor to raise and lower the forks. Some pallet trucks have an adjustable push rod on the bottom of each fork, allowing the user to modify the height. Pallet trucks can be used in warehouses, storerooms, shipping facilities, and a variety of industrial environments.

Wesco manufactures material handling equipment. The company, founded in 1948, is headquartered in North Wales, PA.
