Wooden-deck platform trucks make less noise and are less likely to damage delicate materials and finishes on products carried on the trucks than metal-deck platform trucks. These wheeled carts have a flat deck that allows large or heavy materials to be efficiently loaded and unloaded onto or off of the carts. They are used for a wide variety of material-handling applications, including moving packages, tools, and equipment in warehouses, factories, loading docks, stock rooms, and mail rooms.
