Suggestions for this Kleton platform truck

For the material handler pushing this Kleton truck loaded with bags and crates between receiving and the plant workstations, plan for a high-visibility yellow surveyor vest (V6673) with 12 pockets to stay visible in the aisles, TenActiv foam nitrile gloves (GS21TXUFNLTC) reinforced with leather between thumb and index finger to grip the handle and the loads, 3M Solus anti-fog safety glasses (YAS1101) with clear lenses, Laser Lite uncorded earplugs (OA1101) near noisy machines and a 3M 8577 mask (R8577) with Cool Flow valve when carrying dusty bags.

For loads spread over two levels, see the Kleton shelf cart (CHENT2); for lighter use and flat storage, the folding handle truck (CHATECH), and for stacked boxes, the Kleton heavy-duty hand truck (MO121). In shared aisles, mount a half-dome convex mirror (M88) at blind T-intersections and mark off the loading area with a yellow “Caution” barricade tape (ECT3YE1).
