Questions buyers ask us

Which fork size do I need?
27" × 48" fits the standard 48" × 40" GMA pallet entered from the 40" side. For 36" pallets or tight aisles choose 27" × 36"; for narrow block pallets choose 21" wide forks.
Polyurethane or nylon wheels?
Polyurethane is quieter and protects sealed floors; nylon rolls easier on rough concrete and resists debris. Most warehouses run polyurethane.
How fast can you ship?
Units ship from our Miami warehouse by LTL freight or can be picked up at will-call; availability and ship date are confirmed with your quote. Freight to your ZIP is quoted with the order.
Do you sell replacement wheels and parts?
Yes: load rollers, steer wheels, pump seals and handles for Wesco and most common pallet jacks. Send the model or a photo of the data plate.
