nah, lots of food service use electric pallet jacks and a lift gate and they work fine being "cold" all day and night.
some of the trailers even had jacks you could plug it in to keep it charged up. (since they work great when new but batteries degrade and companies too cheap to fix)

@Buckeye91 we have electric jacks and they are okay I guess but as they get older and start working like crap (they get zero maintenance) you wish you had a manual jack. We have the in trailer chargers that run off the lift gate batteries like at @LoneCowboy was talking about but I don't think a high percentage of them even work anymore like he was saying. When you are in a trailer loaded to the tail they can be scary like @road_runner said because they can be hard to control when you only have 2' of trailer and 10' of gate the work with (see earlier statement about lack of maintenance and how none of them work like they should lol). They are nice with 104 case pallets but that's about it for me.

Who's in the oldest truck today? Mine is a 03. Has aftermarket add ac on the floor that kicks ###!
misterG, The Shadow, Cardfan89 and 1 other person Thank this. -
This truck hauls ### lol. F a Freightliner, I'm all about the olde Sterling lyfe now. I haven't driven one of these in quite a while so I forgot how good they are. A huge plus is the aftermarket ac will freeze you out.
