Stainless steel and galvanised pallet trucks are built for environments where a standard painted truck would corrode — food production, pharmaceutical and medical areas, cold stores, fish and meat handling, and any site with regular washdown or chemical exposure.
The GPC VULCAN Galvanised & Stainless Steel range gives you two levels of protection. Galvanised trucks suit damp, outdoor and general wet-area use where you want better corrosion resistance than a painted finish at a lower cost than full stainless. Grade stainless steel trucks are specified where hygiene standards demand a fully wipe-clean, rust-free truck that can be sanitised — typically food-contact and pharmaceutical settings.
Both share the familiar hand pallet truck layout — a tiller-steered hydraulic pump unit on polyurethane steering wheels and tandem load rollers — so operation is the same as a standard truck; only the materials and finish change. Matching the truck's finish to your cleaning regime is what protects your investment, because a painted truck in a washdown area will rust through far sooner.
