Sack trucks

Sack trucks

Kite’s sack trucks, also known as sack barrows or sack trolleys, are built for everyday heavy work with powder-coated frames for corrosion resistance and durability. Their 115cm x 46cm profile is compact on floor space, and large 3.50 – 4 pneumatic tyres with steel rims mean smoother rides over rough ground.

Our range includes sack trucks with 100kg and 200kg load capacity so you can pick the right duty option for the job.

Uses

Our sack trucks are best used on industrial estates, in warehouses, offices, workshops, schools and hospitals. Plenty of tradespeople and homeowners use them too. From delivery businesses and shops t garden centres and food trucks, they’re a simple way to move heavy loads and save time.

Using a sack truck lets one person move what would take two, cutting handling time and freeing up staff for other tasks.

What are the wheels and toe plates like?

The 3.50 – 4 pneumatic tyre size helps transport heavy, awkward items across uneven yards, loading bays and rough paths. The toe plate is a robust steel design wide enough to support boxes, appliances and garden supplies while you move them.

How do I choose between 100kg and 200kg models?

Think about the heaviest items you regularly move, plus a margin for safety. 100kg covers most boxes, smaller appliances and general deliveries. Choose the 200kg heavy duty sack truck if you handle bulkier items, stacked loads or denser materials. Also consider how much floor space you have to manoeuvre. Both models share the same footprint (115 x 46cm), so pick by load capacities and the workload.

Maintenance and care tips

Keep tyres at the correct pressure and check the rims and toe plate for damage. Clean and lubricate moving parts if used in salty or harsh environments. Regular inspections reduce downtime and keep manual handling tasks safe.

FAQs

How do Kite’s sack trucks help with manual handling and health and safety?

A properly used sack truck reduces manual handling strain by transferring the weight to the wheels. That means fewer lifting injuries, less fatigue and quicker, safer moves. In short, they reduce physical strain and improve health and safety when moving heavy loads.

What types of sack trucks are there and do you stock folding versions?

There are many types of sack trucks on the market: folding sack trucks, heavy duty sack trucks, stair climbers and lightweight hand trucks. Our range includes a medium-duty model handling 100kg and a heavy-duty model for 200kg loads.

Are these trucks suitable for rough ground and stairs?

The large pneumatic tyres cope well with uneven ground and soft surfaces. They’re not stair climbers by design, but because of the tyre size and solid build they handle small steps and kerbs better than narrow-wheeled models. If you regularly need to move goods down long flights of steps, a specialist stair climber sack truck or a truck with a tri-wheel is worth considering.
