Loading containers with big coils used to be a very challenging endeavor, until the arrival of the PTB pallet truck. The metal coils were originally placed in the containers by multiple people using multiple types of equipment. With the EPS120, designed by PTB, the coils are now loaded into the containers quickly and safely, by just one person. This method has lead to a considerable shortening of the loading time.
Similar pallet trucks have recently been designed and produced for a company from Thailand, read more about it on this page.
