The lifting platform is 20in. long and is 21in. wide, the overall width of the truck being 21iin. Guide wheels with roller bearings run in steel channel masts; all the wire-rope pulleys have needle bearings. Metal floor wheels are fitted, rubbertyred or solid nylon wheels being optional. Two rear wheels are mounted in swivel castors to give optimum manoeuvrability.
Lifting and lowering are controlled by the Powell Auto. Brake safety winch which automatically locks when the handle is released and unlocks when the handle is turned.
