We really appreciate the shoutout from this blog and the kind words about our platform trucks.

It’s always great to see our equipment out in the real world doing exactly what it was built to do—handling tough environments, heavy loads, and years of hard use without missing a beat. Stories like this are the reason we take so much pride in how we design and build every truck.

Built to last isn’t just something we say—it’s something proven over decades of use in places where equipment simply can’t afford to fail.

Thanks again for recognizing the craftsmanship and durability that go into every Fairbanks platform truck.

Well I found a couple more of these old school overbuilt but not over engineered pieces of industrial beauty in an old mill in Clinton Mass. Here are some of my old posts with dates on our love aff…

There’s been some good discussion lately about wood vs. steel handles on lever dollies, so here’s why The Fairbanks Company continues to use wood.

When you’re moving heavy equipment like commercial stoves or refrigerators, a wood handle naturally absorbs vibration and gives the operator better feel of the load. That feedback matters—it helps you apply force smoothly instead of shocking the tool or the equipment.

A wood-handled lever dolly is also typically 10–15 lbs lighter than a steel-handled version. Over a full workday, that weight difference reduces fatigue and makes the dolly easier to maneuver and position, especially in tight spaces.

Wood is also more comfortable in the hands, less slick, and provides controlled flex within safe limits—giving you a clear sense of resistance before you push too far.

For us, wood isn’t about tradition. It’s about control, ergonomics, and real-world performance when handling heavy, high-value equipment.

Different preferences are fine—but this is why we build them the way we do.

This is an exceptional example of a pre–World War II Fairbanks platform truck.

Among the hundreds of antique Fairbanks units I’ve evaluated, this one stands out for its condition, originality, and presence. It represents a period when Fairbanks equipment was built with no compromises—heavy materials, timeless design, and true durability.

For collectors, designers, or anyone looking for modern industrial furniture with genuine provenance, this is a standout opportunity.

The possibilities are endless – use it as a coffee table, a display case, or even as a plant stand. Several available. Condition may vary. ROLLS FINE.
