Industrial Platform Truck

This is a Fairbanks Malleable Iron Industrial Platform Truck which came out of a commercial estate and it is in good looking and in working condition. It is the kind of incredibly heavy duty work horse used to move about loads on warehouse and railroad platforms and other floors. These dollies were used to move scales, safes, furniture and many such objects of significant weight. Cast into the top it reads "Fairbanks, Malleable Iron, L1191, No.1 " and it likely dates back to the industrial age of the 1940s or earlier. It measures 4-1/2"x15"x21" with a shipping weight of 28 pounds.
