FAQ about this model

What is the difference between the Model 1385 and Model 1388 platforms?

Capacity and size. The Model 1385 measures 50" wide by 65" long by 8.5" high and holds up to 1,000 lbs, weighing 305 lbs empty. The Model 1388 is 48" wide by 72" long by 8.5" high and holds up to 3,500 lbs, weighing 498 lbs empty. Choose based on the load weight you need to handle.

How high off the forks does the platform sit?

Both models have a platform height of 8.5". This is the same across the Model 1385 and Model 1388, so overall lift height will depend on your forklift's fork thickness plus this 8.5" platform height.

What is the platform made of?

Heavy-duty steel. This applies to both the Model 1385 and Model 1388 configurations.

Does the platform include a ramp for loading?

Yes, both models come with a fixed 15" ramp. This allows wheeled loads such as pallet jacks or carts to be rolled onto the platform rather than lifted onto it.

How much does the platform itself weigh, and does that matter for my forklift?

The Model 1385 weighs 305 lbs empty and the Model 1388 weighs 498 lbs empty. This empty weight adds to whatever load you place on the platform, so factor it into your forklift's total capacity along with the rated load of 1,000 lbs or 3,500 lbs.

Which model fits a smaller forklift or tighter space?

The Model 1385 is the smaller footprint option at 50" wide by 65" long, versus 48" wide by 72" long for the Model 1388. Width is similar between the two, but the 1385 is shorter and rated for lighter loads at 1,000 lbs compared to 3,500 lbs for the 1388.
