But what it lacks in raw power it makes up for in… moderate speed? Ok, so the 30 km/h (18 mph) top speed isn’t exactly going to win you any friends when traffic backs up behind you, but perhaps the first few victims will enjoy the view of this quirky-looking truck. There’s just a 5,000W motor in this thing, equivalent to nearly 7 horsepower. Granted you might find the truck’s power and speed to be a bit limiting. Or wait, maybe you won’t need to pay for that pesky trucking to your home – you can just drive it out of the container at the port! Or at least, that’s before shipping, taxes, customs tariffs, broker fees, arrival charges, port warehousing and domestic trucking. What I see is 4.1 meters (13.5 feet) of raw, unadulterated potential!Ī lift gate truck is the force multiplier of the logistics world, and it could all be yours for a mere $4,000. The vendor lists it as a garbage truck, but I think that’s painting this little guy into a box. With a 1,000 kg (2,200 lb) capacity, you could haul a lot of stuff with a truck like this. This may look like the kind of vehicle you’d expect to be delivering your Alibaba purchases, but it could actually BE your Alibaba purchase instead. It’s not the weirdest thing we’ve ever featured in the weekly Awesomely Weird Alibaba Electric Vehicle of the Week column, but it sure is awesome!
When I occasionally buy the weird Alibaba vehicles that I’ve become known for, I always have to ask the delivery company, “Do you guys have a lift gate truck to deliver at my house?” But perhaps I’d be set if I bought my own cheap electric liftgate truck instead. Liftgate trucks are the workhorses of the delivery industry, combining heavy-hauling capacity with the ability to load or unload at street level instead of needing a loading dock.
