UNSPSC 24101514: Platform truck

A type of manually operated materials transporting equipment comprised of a flat plate and handle mounted on casters that can be pushed or pulled.

UNSPSC 24101514 Platform Truck is a Commodity code covering mobile material-handling equipment and heavy-duty transport vehicles that state and local governments procure for facilities maintenance, fleet operations, and specialized transportation. Recent state and local solicitations under this code span custodial equipment purchases (hand trucks, platform trucks, desk dollies, file cabinet movers) through medium and heavy commercial trucks for fleet modernization and specialized vehicles such as refrigerated box trucks for food service and bucket trucks for utility and infrastructure work. The issuing bodies include school districts (Hillsborough County Public Schools, San Antonio Independent School District), state departments (Florida Department of Management Services, New Jersey Department of the Treasury), and county governments, with school districts appearing as repeat buyers for both custodial equipment and specialized transportation needs. The scope of work diverges significantly across these buyers—school districts focus on lighter material-handling trucks for custodial and food-service operations, while state departments procure heavy-duty commercial trucks for fleet services and specialized utility work.

Florida and Texas account for the most recent activity under this code.
