What is a "platform truck"?
A platform truck is a type of vehicle with a flat, open cargo area that provides a stable surface for carrying various types of goods. Unlike other trucks with enclosed spaces, the platform truck has no sides or roof, allowing for easy loading and unloading of large or heavy items. These trucks are often used in industries like construction for transporting bulky materials or equipment. The design makes it easy to secure items with straps or ropes while providing plenty of space for large loads.
Examples
The warehouse workers used a platform truck to move heavy boxes across the loading dock.
The hotel staff loaded luggage onto a platform truck to deliver it to guests' rooms.
