A platform truck, also known as a flatbed cart or a platform trolley, is a type of material handling equipment that is used to move heavy loads around a warehouse, factory or other industrial setting. 

A platform truck typically consists of a flat platform or deck mounted on four wheels or casters. The size and configuration of the platform can vary depending on the specific requirements of the user, but it is usually made of steel, aluminum or other durable materials.

Some common features of platform trucks include:

1. Load capacity: Platform trucks can typically handle loads from a few hundred kilograms to several tons.

2. Wheel or caster type: Platform trucks can be equipped with different types of wheels or casters, such as pneumatic, polyurethane or rubber, depending on the terrain and surface conditions where they will be used.

3. Control system: Platform trucks are manually operated and require the user to push or pull the load.

4. Safety features: To ensure the safe operation of the platform truck, most models are equipped with features such as brakes to secure the load during transport, non-slip surfaces to prevent the load from shifting, and safety rails to protect both the load and the operator.

5. Durability: Platform trucks are designed to be durable and robust, with components made from high-quality materials that can withstand heavy use.

Overall, a platform truck is a versatile and cost-effective tool for moving heavy loads over short distances in a variety of industrial settings. They can help reduce the risk of injury to workers by providing a safe and efficient means of transporting heavy items without the need for manual lifting or carrying.
