Power Pallet Trucks
Written by: Eisla Sebastian
Power pallet trucks are electric versions of hand pallet trucks. Instead of having to push, pull, and jack up the vehicle, power pallet trucks use an electric energy source to execute these tasks. A key advantage to using a power pallet truck is that anyone can operate the tool with precision after they have been properly trained, regardless of physical strength or dexterity.
Uses for power pallet trucks
The most common uses for power pallet trucks are jobs which don't require a full-size forklift, such as a partial pallet or a small pallet job.
These small electric pallet trucks also work well for commercial uses in smaller warehouses. For example, small businesses that carry inventory can use an electric power pallet truck to move small pallets of their products off of or onto delivery trucks, or to move them from the warehouse to the retail floor. In addition, these tools can be used to move displays, rearrange furniture, and transport boxes and file cabinets. A power pallet truck also is a great tool for business owners or employers who have physical limitations that restrict their ability to move equipment and supplies.
Power pallet truck features and costs
The cost of your power pallet truck is going to depend on the manufacturer, the weight capacity of the lifting fork, the battery, and the lifting height. However, whether you buy your power pallet truck from Vestil, Jungheinrich, or another manufacturer, you can expect a low-end power pallet truck to start at around $3,000; high-end equipment starts around $5,500.
Features are a critical part of your purchase and there are a few you should consider when buying a power pallet truck:
- Lifting capacity: ranges from 3,000-6,000 pounds
- Lifting height: ranges from a couple of feet to 10 feet.
You'll want to look at the battery that the electric power truck comes with. Determine how many rechargeable batteries are required, how long they last, and how long it takes to recharge them. Finally, look at the motor on the truck. The best models will have a variable-speed drive that operates in both forward and reverse.
