Pallet trucks are the most common material handling equipment in any working environment. The ease of use, affordability and versatility are the reasons for pallet trucks’ popularity. They are designed to pick up pallets at floor level, then lift them up and transport to the unloading point. Available with a manual to fully electric drive options, the pallet trucks meet a wide range of requirements and operating conditions: from warehouses and supermarkets to construction sites and production lines.
The electric pallet truck moves automatically, rather than by the physical effort of the operator, which increases the speed of transporting goods and efficiency. The dimensions of electric pallet trucks are comparable to those of a hand trucks, therefore they can be used in tight spaces and narrow aisles. Electric pallet trucks use electrical energy to move loads and are powered by rechargeable batteries.
The pallet trucks have load capacities from 1.5 to 2.5 tones. They also differ in terms of handling. The pedestrian pallet truck is steered by the walking operator using the tiller. The electric pallet truck with foldable or fixed platform is steered by the operator who remains on the platform.
