Narrow Tine Pallet Jack rated 5500 lbs – We wish now we would have bought and adjustable tine pallet jack. The narrow tine is great for moving computers but terrible for moving heavily loaded skids or extra large skids. We paid about 350.00 for the pallet jack three years ago.

Piano Dollies – we have 4 of these and have used them mostly with large skids. Approximate cost 16.00 dollars each.

Two Wheel Dolly – used for moving cylinders and smaller items for an inside delivery or pickup. 70.00 bought at SAMS

Corner Protectors – plastic covers for the edges of boxes that can be crushed by straps. Cost approximate 8.00 each.

Ratchet Strap Protectors – fits behind ratchets to protect freight 1.50 each at TA

Ratchet Straps – Various lengths to fit all needs of large to small freight. Approximate 7.00 each

Load Bars – used to brace the freight in place and can be used as a temporary wall. Approximate 30.00 each

E Track D rings – these are a loop that locks into the E track that you can run a strap through. Used for making a strap shorter or tying multiple items to a wall using one strap.

Load Bar E-Track adapter – Custom made. Fits on load bar so you can fit a ratchet strap into the fitting You can then run ratchet strap from load bar to the wall for better freight securement.

Orange Traffic Cones – we have 4 and set these out when ever we use our lift gate. Approximate cost 7.00 each

Moving Pads – used to wrap delicate freight, used on floor as an extra cushion for delicate freight, and many other uses. Look for sales on these at Harbor Freight or other moving storage places.

Camera’s – We have two cameras in our box one at the front facing backwards and one facing forwards in the box. We have one for a backup camera and then a blind side camera on the passenger side. Our cameras are not recorded just a live feed.

Broom – Push broom to sweep out box.

Ladder – 8 foot step ladder used to change marker lights, is a great help to wash and polish truck, great way to make lots of friends in truck stops

I was given one of these a while back. When fully extended you can reach the top of the box. It is very stable and retracts to a manageable size.
