Frequently asked questions
Common questions about FAIRBANKS from 3G Electric.
What are the load capacities of Fairbanks general purpose platform trucks?
Fairbanks general purpose platform trucks, such as those with wooden decks, are commonly rated for 2,000 pounds. This capacity applies to models with deck sizes like 60 by 30 inches or 72 by 36 inches. The load rating assumes evenly distributed weight and proper use on suitable surfaces. For specific models, refer to the manufacturer part number and technical datasheet. 3G Electric lists these capacities in product specifications to help buyers select the appropriate truck for their material handling tasks.
What caster configurations are available on Fairbanks dollies?
Fairbanks general purpose dollies typically feature four swivel casters, which allow for maneuverability in tight spaces. Some models may have a combination of rigid and swivel casters, but the dollies in 3G Electric's catalog are specified with (4) swivel casters. Caster diameters for dollies are often around 5 inches, while platform trucks may use 8-inch casters. The caster type affects rolling resistance and turning radius. Buyers should match caster configuration to floor conditions and load requirements.
Do Fairbanks platform trucks come with side panels?
The Fairbanks platform trucks listed by 3G Electric are configured with no side panels. This open-deck design facilitates loading and unloading from any side and is common for general-purpose material handling. Side panels, if required, would need to be specified separately or sourced from other product lines. The absence of side panels reduces weight and allows for oversized loads that might otherwise be restricted. For applications requiring containment, alternative models or accessories may be considered.
What is the purpose of the tow eye on Fairbanks dollies?
The tow eye on Fairbanks dollies allows the unit to be connected to a towing vehicle or lift for moving multiple dollies or heavy loads over longer distances. This feature is useful in warehouses and production facilities where manual pushing is impractical. The tow eye is typically located on one end of the dolly and is designed to withstand the forces of towing within the rated capacity. It does not replace proper load securement. Users should ensure the towing method is compatible with the dolly's design.
