Pick by deck size and route first, then caster package, then handle configuration.
Rated capacity assumes the load is spread across the deck. Point loads, a machine base or a stone slab on two skids, concentrate weight on two casters, so derate by a third when the load does not cover at least half the deck. And if the truck will be loaded on any ramp, order brakes; 2,400 lb rolls itself.
Full-size 30" x 54" models are rated 2,400 lb; the compact 36" x 24" mini trucks are rated 850 lb. Spread the load across the deck to use the full rating, and see the note on point loads in the engineer tip above.
The 8" quiet-rolling polyurethane packages on Models 3957/3958 and 3967/3968. They are the standard pick for hotels, schools, hospitals, and any occupied building where a steel-deck truck would otherwise echo down the hall.
A second removable handle lets a worker at each end steer long or top-heavy loads through corners, doorways, and elevators. On straight warehouse runs a single handle is fine and costs less.
Long, narrow, or bundled material that tips over on a flat deck: trim, conduit, banquet table legs, rolled goods. The vinyl-coated channel protects finishes, Models 485 and 490 add removable uprights, and all four rate 350 lb.
Mini trucks include brakes standard. Full-size trucks offer brake options on their caster packages, and genuine OEM brake kits and replacement casters are in our Raymond parts collection.

Raymond heavy-duty platform trucks put a 30" x 54" steel deck rated 2,400 lb under furniture, partitions, and general freight, with a compact 36" x 24" mini truck rated 850 lb for tight routes. Vinyl-coated HD caddies (350 lb) and braked pipe racks cover the long, awkward loads a flat deck cannot. Made in USA since 1958, lifetime warranty.
