Elevators for Trucks The big demand for continuous motion inclined handtruck elevators has resulted in the present high develop-ment of such machines. In addition to the great capacityand continuous service of these elevators, probably the mostimportant feature is the high degree of safety are far rarer than in other types of lifts.
