But there was one major technical obstacle still to overcome.

Value, or in other words, high performance at an affordable price, is everything in the ‘walkie’ powered pallet truck market. Because end customers have relatively uniform demands for these battery-powered electric warehouse vehicles, manufacturers have been able to keep costs down by employing highly integrated subsystems and standardizing on mature technologies.

Mount Kisco resident, Stuart Marwell, has been frequenting the Boys & Girls Club of Northern Westchester for basically most of his life.
