REDUCING COSTS AND INCREASING SAFETY
WHEN MOVING MATERIALS HORIZONTALLY
A safer material handling system can actually cost a lot less.
Forklift safety records are well documented. OSHA and the ITA estimate that 9 out of every ten forklifts will be involved in some sort of accident over their useful lives. And many of these accidents result in injuries or even death.
Not so well documented are the costs of using forklifts for the horizontal movement of materials. Many companies that have added industrial electric vehicles and towable trailers to their material handling systems are finding that using forklifts for vertical movement and EVs and trailers for horizontal movement significantly reduces capital costs and material handling expenses.
| DESCRIPTION | ELEC. FORKLIFT | ELEC. TUGGER +2 96" LONG TRAILERS |
| Depreciation | $7,600/yr.* | $2,400/yr.** |
| Capital Outlay (@5%/yr.) | $1,900 | $600 |
| Elec. Power Used | $2,000/yr. | $500/yr. |
| Maintenance | $500 | $200 |
| Total Cost/yr. to Own & Operate | $12,000 | $3,700 |
| # of pallets carried/trip | 1 | 4 |
| Annual Cost Per Pallet Carrying Capacity | $12k/pallet | $925/pallet |
| * $38k amortized over 5 yrs. ** $12k amortized over 5 yrs. ($8k for Tugger + $2K ea. for 2 Trailers) | ||
Compare the cost of owning a forklift truck with a tow tractor and two trailers. The annual per pallet carrying capacity cost is reduced by over 92% by integrating the EVs and trailers. The difference is even greater between gasoline-powered forklifts and industrial electric vehicles.
The precise details of forklift-EV integration vary with every plant. The rule of thumb is to allow each type of material handler to do what it does best. However, greater economies of ownership and use go well beyond the rule of thumb. That’s why Pack Mule sales engineers work with customers to determine just what mix of vehicles and trailers—and how those vehicles and trailers should be configured—result in the greatest productivity as well as the lowest cost of ownership and use.

The PACK MULE Difference
In order to make the best towable carts in the industry, we look at the competition. Here are a few of the features you get with a Pack Mule towable cart that you can’t get with others.
- RUGGED CONSTRUCTION: The industry’s only deck formed from a single sheet of steel. Others use lighter-weight steel and welded decks.
- FLEXIBLE CONFIGURATION: Get the trailer you need fully configured without delays and order accessories at any time if your needs change. Nobody else has that.
- SERVICE AND SPEED: We’ve learned what it takes to buy a trailer from the others. We'll get you the trailer you need with less hassle and in half the time as the others. Sometimes sooner.
- THREE YEAR WARRANTY: Pack Mule offers the only three-year warranty in the business, just like we do on our electric vehicles.
Load Capacity
| Pack Mule | 2000 lbs. |
| Competitor | 1500 lbs. |
| With standard specs, PACK MULE gets more done per trip. | |
Deck
| Pack Mule | Single sheet, 10-gauge steel with side-to-side lateral supports and heavy-duty frame. |
| Competitor | Lighter 13-gauge deck without frame. |
| The heavier duty single-sheet deck, fully supported side-to-side means that your cargo is more secure and your trailer is less likely to have a deck failure. | |
Shelf Supports
| Pack Mule | Welded metal. 33% thicker than the competition. |
| Competitor | Thinner bent sheet metal supports. |
| Pack Mule’s stronger shelf supports make your shelf-loaded cargo more secure, reducing the possibility of cargo loss. | |
Vertical Members
| Pack Mule | Capped, two bolts per vertical member. |
| Competitor | Uncapped, single bolt per vertical member. |
| Pack Mule caps the raw metal edges of the vertical members to prevent injury and damage to cargo during loading. It uses twice the number of bolts to increase stability. | |
Wheels
| Pack Mule | Automotive-grade tapered bearings. Sealed bearings with protective cover. |
| Competitor | Roller bearings. |
| Pack Mule’s automotive-grade tapered bearings are designed to work better and longer than roller bearings, and the heavier-duty wheel construction will stand up to heavy use. | |
Add-on Shelves
| Pack Mule | Available any time — with or after the order. Easy bolt-on installation. Four-corner support. |
| Competitor | Add-on shelves are not available. |
| If your needs change, Pack Mule makes it easy to accommodate them. The easy-to-install bolt-on shelves helps you do more with the trailer. | |
Warranty
| Pack Mule | 3-Year Warranty |
| Competitor | 2-Year Warranty |
| Pack Mule provides the industry’s only three-year warranty. And it has no hours limitations. | |
Delivery Time
| Pack Mule | 2 weeks or less. |
| Competitor | Not published. |
| Pack Mule generally beats any competitors’ delivery time by more than half. | |
