Common Questions
RollMover, Electric Pallet Jack & Cart Mover FAQs
Yes. The PowerRoll L-Series is rated to 80,000 lbs. The battery or compressed air does the pushing. The operator steers. These machines are running in cable plants and paper mills every day.
A RollMover pushes loads on the ground. No lifting, no tipping risk. It fits in aisles as narrow as 48 inches, needs no license, and one person does the job. A forklift lifts loads off the ground, requires OSHA certification, needs wider aisles, and creates higher injury and product damage risk on cylindrical loads.
