Electric Pallet Trucks

Electric Pallet Trucks for Efficient Warehouse Handling

Explore our range of electric pallet trucks, with capacities from 1200kg to 2000kg, from trusted brands like PARRS and PRAMAC. An industrial truck license is only required if the electric truck can exceed 6 km/h or has a ride-on platform.

Businesses using lifting equipment must comply with LOLER (Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations). However, most pallet trucks do not fall under LOLER as they do not lift loads high enough (over 300mm) to be included in these regulations. This makes them safer and easier to operate with fewer regulatory requirements.

Choosing the Right Electric Pallet Truck: Semi-Electric vs. Fully Electric

When it comes to moving heavy loads in your warehouse, choosing the right pallet truck can make a significant difference in efficiency and ease of use. Let's explore the key differences between semi-electric and fully electric pallet trucks to help you make an informed decision.

Semi-Electric Pallet Trucks

Semi-electric pallet trucks offer a great middle ground between manual and fully electric models. These trucks lift loads using a manual hydraulic pump, while an electric motor powers movement. This combination of manual and electric functionality makes them ideal for users transitioning from standard hand pallet trucks.

Key Features:

• Electric travel with manual hydraulic lift: Designed to be compact and improve efficiency.
• Compact design: Suitable for loads up to 1.2 tons and narrow aisles.
• Easy Electric-Manual switch: Conveniently shifts between electric and manual modes for low battery or tight spaces.
• Cost-effective: More affordable than fully electric models.

Best For:

• Users who need a cost-effective solution.
• Avoids downtime with manual mode.
• Tasks requiring manoeuvrability in tight spaces.
• Small-scale operations such as loading, unloading, and warehouse stacking.

Fully Electric Pallet Trucks

Fully electric pallet trucks take all the effort out of lifting, lowering, and moving loads. Powered entirely by an electric motor, these trucks are designed for maximum efficiency and minimal manual effort.

Key Features:

• Effortless operation: All functions, including lifting and lowering, are powered by an electric motor.
• High capacity and reach: Can lift up to 2 tons and reach heights of up to six metres.
• Increased efficiency: Fully electric operations save time and reduce labour.

Best For:

• Large-scale operations.
• Tasks that require frequent and heavy lifting.
• Environments with wider aisles to accommodate the truck's turning radius.

In summary, your choice between semi-electric and fully electric pallet trucks depends on your specific needs and budget. Semi-electric trucks are perfect for smaller tasks and tight spaces, while fully electric trucks offer maximum efficiency for larger operations.
