Pallet Trucks
Pallet trucks as you will find in our range are known under various names: pallet trucks, pump trucks, hand pallet trucks, pump carts, and pallet carts. In any case, they are very important for the internal logistics process of warehouses, distribution centres and retail. We supply various models of pallet trucks and pump trucks to make your internal transport more efficient. Our pallet trucks differ from each other in terms of load capacity, fork length and wheel types. As a result, the purpose of a pallet truck is central to our range: lifting and moving goods in a warehouse, truck, workshop or shop. A pallet truck makes internal warehouse transport easier, faster but above all more efficient. Pallet trucks are suitable for almost all pallets, including euro pallets, block pallets and our very affordable used pallets.
Our powerful pump trucks meet all ergonomic requirements and are at the same time simple and durable to use because we know from our experience that ergonomics plays an important role in your warehouse or workshop so that your staff stays healthy. A pallet truck or pump cart is useful as an aid to safely lift and move stocks in bulk. You or your staff let a pallet truck do all the heavy lifting and work yourself at the right height, comfortably with a straight back, for example.
Our Pallet Truck Range
There are various types of pump trucks for sale. Our most popular pallet trucks and pump carts are listed below for you:
- Manual pallet truck: all our pallet trucks are equipped with 3 positions (lift, neutral, lower) and are very easy to use. In addition, a pallet truck is more compact and lighter than electric models. The advantages of this are: more convenient in small spaces, such as a warehouse full of pallets, a shop, workshop or truck that delivers on location. A pallet truck is therefore especially interesting when the transport distances are short or when you take the pump cart, for example, to an (unknown) delivery location. Pay attention to the maximum weight that the pallet truck can handle and the passage width of some locations.
- High-lift pump truck: with our high-lift pump truck you encourage working in a good posture without additional physical strain on your staff. The goods can be placed at an ergonomic working height. This way, your pump truck fits perfectly with the work that your staff has to perform.
- Pallet trolley with scales: to save time and to be able to load precisely in terms of weight, Rotomshop UK also offers a pump trolley with integrated scales. If you use this pallet truck, it is not necessary to move the pallets to a fixed scale. This saves you a lot of lead time because you can immediately see how heavy your load is.
Choosing the Right Pallet Truck for You!
As you can see, we have different types of pallet trucks in our range. But which one is right for your business? We are happy to help you on your way to more efficient internal transport with the following decision aid:
- Load capacity: this is the first important consideration for what are you going to use the pallet truck or hand pallet truck for. The pallet trucks on www.rotomshop.co.uk have a minimum load capacity of 2000 kilograms and a maximum of 2500 kilograms;
- Ergonomics: is the hand pallet truck in use on a daily basis? Or with many repetitive actions, such as in a modern supply chain? Then choose an ergonomic pallet truck such as the high-lift pump cart or the pallet truck with scale ;
- Wheels Material: are you going to use the pallet truck indoors or outdoors? The material of the wheels is important. If you will often use the pallet truck outside, it is important that you choose softer PU (polyurethane) wheels for comfort, because this provides noiseless and low rolling resistance. Choose nylon wheels if you need chemical resistance. A pallet truck needs the right wheels to be able to perform optimally according to your wishes. The choice of single wheels is particularly interesting for use on slippery floors and with tight turning circles. Solid rubber wheels are silent, comfortable and equipped with a soft tread
- Application: pallet trucks are interesting for various industries. The first thing you think of is of course a warehouse, workshop, shop or truck with a tail lift. But also think of the food industry or the pharmaceutical industry. Even in the furniture sector or DIY stores, pallet trucks also have added value for the movement of goods;
- Fork Length: Shorter forks are ideal for situations where there is a tight turning radius, such as for use in trucks or small warehouse aisles. Long forks are ideal for lifting and moving several pallets or roll containers at once. It is wise to opt for double fork wheels so that you can easily drive over the slats of the pallets and better overcome thresholds or other obstacles. Point-shaped but rounded forks such as we have in our range ensure an easy pallet insertion;
- Size: of course, the lifting height of a pallet truck also plays a role in your purchase process. Think, for example, of activities such as sorting, order picking, distribution or delivery of goods where it is practical to be able to place articles at a suitable height.
In short, as you can see, the application of the pallet truck ultimately determines the choice, if you have a clear picture of this, you can make your choice more easily and we can advise you even better.
