About Us

Sack-Trucks.com is the trading name of Castle Forklifts Ltd of Rugby established in 1975.  

We are one of the longest established independent materials handling companies in UK and we only market proven and well made equipment.

Before offering new products we rigorously test them for suitable design, durability, quality and value.  Only when we are fully satisfied that they meet our high standards do we offer them for sale.  

We can thus offer a 30 day satisfaction guarantee on our sack trucks. Indeed if for any reason one of our sack trucks fails to meet with your expectations then simply return it to us in good condition in it's original packaging for a refund. Naturally misuse and overloading are excluded.

In addition to sack trucks we offer trolleys, carts, pallet trucks, stackers, scissor lift tables etc plus our comprehensive range of forklifts, reach trucks and order pickers for sale or hire.

You can order in confidence safe in the knowledge that you are dealing with one of the UK's longest established and most respected independent materials handling companies.

When used properly these trucks can be a real labour saver, however if used incorrectly they can be awkward and uncomfortable.  It all depends on the way they are loaded. The rated capacity shown for each model is designed to sit over the axle and wheels when the trolley is tilted backwards towards the user about 30 degrees.  Then it is comfortably balanced and easy to use.  If the load is too far forward the truck has to be tilted back excessively meaning the user has to propel it in a stooping position which is ergonomically bad and can cause back problems. So always carefully assess the best way to carry any load before attempting to move it.

Also it is important to remember that a load with its centre of gravity too far forward can damage a truck as it is tilted back even though it may weigh far less than the rated capacity.

Maintenance is simple, an occasional visual check for loose bolts/fittings, oil the wheel bearings once a year and keep pneumatic tyres pumped up to 20psi. (1.5 bar). And finally - be careful who you lend it to!

We always welcome your comments and suggestions and thank you for visiting our web site.
