Rough terrain pallet truck.

Hi All
I was fortunate to buy two Rough terrain pallet trucks at auction for £22. Admittedly they were not in great shape but there was enough between the two to make one good one. So took a chance.

The first thing was to get them home as the are quiet heavy and large but luckily they just fitted in my van with help of a skilled forklift driver. Next issue would be to unload at home. Using an engine hoist was able to lift them out (eventually )

Then stripped both down and my gamble paid off there was all the bits needed to make a complete one.

set to work on cleaning all the bits for painting and overhauled the hydraulic ram fitted new tyres and the rough terrain pallet truck was back in action.

I then couldn’t bring myself to scrap the remaining bits so placed on a well known auction site and sold them for £60.

The photos below show the condition of the items bought at auction.



Finished in battleship grey.



Really pleased with the result and has been a real asset for moving pallets of fire wood up and down the garden.

Thank you for viewing

Useful, nice job, low lift so safer to use than the high-lift version they bought for off-loading pallets of salt at work, turned it over the first time they used it, that one went for scrap as it was so badly damaged, the manager who bought it and was involved in using it escaped with a few scratches, a few inches more and they'd have had to scrap him too...
