Low profile pallet truck
Low-profile pallet trucks are specially designed to handle ultra-low pallets, disposable pallets, machinery-mounted skids, and specialist stillages that standard pallet trucks cannot access. With a reduced fork height of 35mm–51mm, compared to the typical 75mm–85mm of standard models, they provide the necessary clearance for low-entry applications. Their compact design and reinforced smaller wheels allow for easy manoeuvrability in confined industrial environments. Available in capacities ranging from 1,000kg to 2,500kg, they are ideal for warehouse and manufacturing settings operating on smooth, flat, hard surfaces such as concrete floors.
Frequently Asked Questions (Q&A)
Q: What is the main difference between a standard and low-profile pallet truck?
A: The key difference is the significantly lower minimum fork height of 35mm–51mm, allowing access beneath low-clearance pallets and machinery skids that standard pallet trucks (75mm–85mm) cannot reach. Low-profile models also feature smaller, reinforced wheels to support operation at reduced heights.
Q: What lifting capacities are available?
A: Low-profile pallet trucks typically offer lifting capacities between 1,000kg and 2,500kg, depending on the model, making them suitable for both light-duty and heavy-duty industrial applications.
Q: Can they be used on any surface?
A: They are designed specifically for smooth, level, hard flooring, such as warehouse concrete. Due to their small wheels and low ground clearance, they are not suitable for uneven, rough, or outdoor surfaces.
