High Lift Pallet Trucks are just like normal Hand Pallet Trucks, and can be used for the same purpose – namely to move palletised goods. The real difference is in the fact that they can also raise the load to 800mm, by either hand pump or battery hydraulic lift.
PACK KING HIGH LIFT PALLET TRUCKS. Does all the heavy lifting for you!
The high lift pallet truck brings the best of both worlds to an operator. Firstly it is a hand pallet truck, raising a skid pallet, crate or stillage high enough above floor level to move it, then when the operator is ready to remove the load at a comfortable height, s/he can simply reach in or over – without bending.
In a printing works for instance, the operator needs to move individual sheets or packs of sheets of paper or cardboard from a pallet onto a press or cutter. With the high lift pallet truck it is simply a matter of raising the load to table height, then moving the required items across. Incremental height adjustments are quick and easy.
Used in furniture manufacturing to transfer sheets of heavy board across for cutting, planing, edging and trimming, the high lift pallet truck prevents aches and strains, and allows one operator to do the work of two.
Available in manual or battery lift, and with 1000 Kg or 1500 Kg capacities, and widths of either 540mm or 680mm, there should be a model to suit anyone and any situation.
A safety feature is inbuilt, with outriggers attached to the rear wheel frames, that allow lift to occur to around 300mm, then the outriggers sit on the floor in order to stabilize the load when at height. It is necessary to lower the load past the 300mm mark, in order to be able to roll the lifter again.
The battery model has a fail-safe manual lift and lower handle pump action, should the battery run out of juice.
NOTE: High lift pallet trucks are NOT suited for use with any pallet or bin with bottom boards or slats where the forks enter, as they will be prised apart during the high lift segment.
