Stainless steel pallet trucks: are they really rust-proof forever?

Stainless steel pallet trucks are not rust-free — they rust far more slowly, and that "slowness" comes with conditions. An ordinary painted carbon-steel pallet truck keeps moisture out with its paint film; once the film is breached, rust eats its way from the scratch straight into the steel. Stainless steel relies on an extremely thin self-passivating film on the surface (chromium oxide), which repairs itself after a scratch as long as oxygen is available. The trade-off is that this film has three weaknesses: chloride ions, oxygen starvation and iron contamination. For details and orders, please contact our specialist.

The cleaner a stainless steel pallet truck is kept, the better ventilated and the more promptly it is rinsed, the more "rust-free" it stays; the dirtier, damper and more chloride-laden the conditions, the more stainless steel will likewise rust and pit. With the product advantages of high corrosion resistance, washability and easy sanitisation, we provide professional solutions for material handling in the clean industries, and are widely recognised and favoured by customers at home and abroad, with purchase orders continuing to grow.

The premium paid for a stainless steel pallet truck buys downtime, cleaning costs and food safety risk — not just the steel itself. Hebei Shengyu Hoisting Machinery Manufacturing Factory produces stainless steel manual hydraulic pallet trucks, with the frame, forks, hydraulic pump and wheel axles configured in stainless steel for the whole machine, supplied with food-grade grease and maintenance guidance; fork length, fork width, wheel type and logo can all be customised.
