Pallet Trucks

Pallet trucks move palletised loads across warehouses, loading bays, and workshops without a forklift. Manual hydraulic models lift loads by pumping the handle — simple, reliable, no power source needed. Pick fork length and width to match your pallets (1150 × 550 mm handles most euro and standard pallets), and check the capacity rating against your typical load weight.

Capacity ratings matter. A 2200 kg truck handles two-tonne loads safely at full lift height; overloading risks hydraulic failure and fork damage. Sealey units are available in common fork widths and lengths to suit standard pallet sizes. If you run non-standard pallets or stillages, measure the stringer spacing before ordering — forks that don't align leave the load unstable.

Wheel material affects both floor protection and push effort. Polyurethane rolls smoothly on concrete and won't mark epoxy coatings; nylon is harder-wearing but noisier and can scuff polished floors. Single or tandem load wheels change manoeuvrability — tandem wheels spread weight better on uneven surfaces but increase the turning circle. Check the axle setup if you're working in tight aisles.

High-lift models raise loads to waist height for ergonomic unloading or feeding into workstations. Pallet trucks with integrated scales let you weigh loads in-place without a separate floor scale — useful for dispatch checks or stock control. Trucks with polyurethane-coated forks resist rust in damp environments; bare steel forks suit dry indoor use and cost less. Pallet stops prevent forks from sliding beyond the pallet edge during transport.

Frequently asked questions

What capacity pallet truck do I need for standard warehouse loads?
A 2200 kg pallet truck handles two-tonne loads safely at full lift height. Match the capacity rating to your typical load weight — overloading risks hydraulic failure and fork damage.
What fork size fits euro pallets and standard pallets?
Forks measuring 1150 × 550 mm handle most euro and standard pallets. If you run non-standard pallets or stillages, measure the stringer spacing before ordering so forks align properly and keep the load stable.
How do manual hydraulic pallet trucks lift loads?
Manual hydraulic pallet trucks lift loads by pumping the handle. They're simple, reliable, and need no power source.
What's the difference between polyurethane and nylon wheels on a pallet truck?
Polyurethane rolls smoothly on concrete and won't mark epoxy coatings. Nylon is harder-wearing but noisier and can scuff polished floors.
When should I choose a high-lift pallet truck?
High-lift models raise loads to waist height for ergonomic unloading or feeding into workstations. They suit operations where you need to position loads at working height without a separate lift table.
What does a pallet truck with scales do?
Pallet trucks with integrated scales let you weigh loads in-place without a separate floor scale. They're useful for dispatch checks or stock control when you need quick weight readings.
Do tandem load wheels make a pallet truck easier to move?
Tandem wheels spread weight better on uneven surfaces but increase the turning circle. Single load wheels suit tight aisles; tandem wheels suit rougher floors or outdoor loading areas.
