What is a hand pallet truck?

A hand pallet truck is an industrial truck with or without electric drive used to transport pallets and other heavy equipment on a firm, level surface. Pallet trucks are a universal and flexible means of transport, therefore they are in great demand in a wide variety of industrial sectors. They are comfortable, manoeuvrable and very easy to operate. Since they produce little noise when being pulled or pushed, they are also suitable for quiet zones.

A hand pallet truck weighs less than 100 kg, but its load capacity is up to 3 t. Some models are equipped with mobile weighing devices and ensure precise weighing. In addition, most hand pallet trucks have individually adjustable forks with different fork lengths, so you can easily adapt them to your needs.

All types of pallet trucks use integrated hydraulics to lift the load. A hydraulic cylinder actuated by a long lever handle (drawbar) enables the lift truck to be steered and lifted in relation to the rollers. The up and down movement of the drawbar drives the hydraulic pump.
