Intended Use 

This Strongway U-Boat Platform Truck has a narrow deck design which enables use in confined 

areas. The twin removable handles enable movement of oversized loads while the deck is made of 

diamond shaped, rugged steel to help prevent loads from slipping off. The reinforced steel frame 

withstands heavy-duty use. Its cross-braced handles are reinforced for extra strength: 360° steering.
