It will also work in a GKN pallet lengthwise [C] and can be used sideways if you need to for the same reason [D]. Although, you can not push all the way in as it will stick out the other side and when the wheels are pumped up it will rip the bottom board off.

Most Hand Pallet Trucks come with 2 main steer wheel options. Nylon/Polyurethane and Rubber Edged Nylon.

When selecting the Steer Wheels for your Hand Pallet Truck, you need to consider the environment that you are operating in, the surfaces that you will be handing loads on and the ideal noise level when transporting pallets.

A GKN Hand Pallet Truck will NOT go into a Euro pallet lengthways [E] but can be used sideways [F]. Although, you can not push all the way in as it will stick out of the other side and when the wheels are pumped up it will rip the bottom board off.

It will work in a GKN pallet lengthwise, although the load will rock a little [G]. It works perfectly sideways [H].
