Customized loading systems: Just another way Phoenix is willing to adapt equipment to meet your customers’ requirements. Feature Overview: High speed Automation for the distribution center environment. 5″ pass height makes loading with pallet jack quick and efficient compared to competitive models that require operators to push loads up 8-10″ inclines.
