About fetra
fetra Fechtel Transportgeräte GmbH has been manufacturing hand-guided transport equipment at its site in Germany since 1954, such as platform trolleys, multi-level trolleys, workshop trolleys, order-picking trolleys, pallet trucks, platform and box trolleys as well as carts and running gears. The product range comprises more than 1,000 items, from an office trolley to a running gear with a 24-tonne load capacity. The constructions consist predominantly of welded steel tube and section steel with powder coating; load platforms are made of wood-based panels, beech plywood, MDF or sandwich panels, partly also of aluminium and stainless steel. Processes include welding of steel tube and section steel frame constructions, forming of sheet steel, powder coating and assembly according to a modular system. The products are used in industry, warehouse/intralogistics, workshop, assembly, joinery, automotive, trade and office applications. Distribution is carried out throughout Europe via qualified specialist retailers.
