Where the 14 inch plate suits narrow cartons and drums, this one is sized to get under a pallet-width load without the corners hanging off either end.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWidth is what decides whether the plate does its job. A load overhanging the toe puts its weight on the two outside edges instead of across the plate, which bends the leading edge and makes the next slide-under harder than the last. The extra four inches spread that contact, and cast aluminum gives the section stiffness to resist the bend while staying light enough that the operator is not lifting the difference all shift. The recess lets it tuck under loads sitting flat on the floor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a bolt-on replacement. Fit it when the original is bent, cracked, or worn round at the leading edge, or when a truck is being moved onto wider freight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUse it for\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePallet-width cartons and crates that overhang a 14 inch toe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBulky appliance and fixture moves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplacing a plate bent by repeated drops\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRe-specifying a truck for wider freight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe narrower option is the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.castercentral.com\/products\/extruded-aluminum-recessed-nose-plate\"\u003e14\" Cast Aluminum Recessed Nose Plate M12022\u003c\/a\u003e.
