Hi All:
I'm looking at moving into a new shop space that's a lot closer to home.
I found one that's almost perfect but for one thing:
Access to the shop is up a 30 foot long ramp that's 8 feet wide and slopes upward at 9 degrees.
The ramp can handle a full sized SUV so it's plenty strong.
It's wood with expanded metal mesh nailed on top for grip.
What are the chances of being able to drive one of those powered pallet trucks up a ramp like this one?
I've never driven one and can find no stats anywhere on what kind of slope they can negotiate.
I see them used in level-floored warehouses, but I've also seen some on the streets being used to deliver pallets of supplies to restaurants up temporary ramps from the road to the sidewalk.
Do any of you think pallets trucks that can do such a steep ramp with such a harsh surface exist?
Anyone care to name a brand?
Any available that can tilt to help keep the load level?
My max load would be under 1000 lb
Cheers
