There are various different trucks you can get and each one designed for a different use. Make sure you have a good look around to make sure the pallet truck you want fits in with your needs and the goods you wish to move.

Hand Pallet Trucks

These are trucks that come in various sizes and have a hand pump action which reduces strain on the operator. These are the standard sort of pallet trucks and great for moving around medium to heavy sized loads. The handle gives easy pumping action to raise the forks and they are then simple to steer around.

Stainless Steel Pallet Trucks

These are most suited to the food industry where there may be spills, chemicals and strong odours. With the pallet trucks being metallic they are much sturdier, won’t corrode under acids and won’t trap smells.

Low Profile Pallet Trucks

These are often used in the gaming sector to move things that are low to the ground such as fruit machines, video game machines and vending machines. They are similar to normal pallet trucks yet they sit lower to the ground making it easier to get to things that sit on the floor. They can also be used to move things such as drawers and filing cabinets.

Reel Carrying Pallet Trucks

These are for carrying reels of good such as rolls of carpet, fabric or paper. They are just like normal pallet trucks yet they are designed in such a way that makes carrying cylindrical loads much easier. The forks are designed to slot into the roll and lift it with little effort.

Weighing Scale Pallet Trucks

This is similar to a regular pallet truck except it has a battery powered weighing scale within it. When a load is picked up it is then weighed this is necessary for orders that rely on weight or restrictions within the warehouse.

Rough Terrain Pallet Trucks

Normal pallet trucks are designed for smooth floors, usually those of warehouses. Due to their design they would not move well over rough ground. The rough terrain pallet truck comes in as it can move across rough surfaces a lot easier than a normal pallet truck would. They are used outside where there is a lot of rough ground or in places such as building sites where a lot of heavy material is to be moved around an uneven terrain.
