The manouevering of palletised loads is central to any warehouse or operational setting, so correct training for all operatives on how to use this type of machinery is vital to ensure the occurrence of accidents and/or injuries are minimised.

As an employer, the worst thing you can do is to not have regular maintenance, repairs, or servicing of your pallet trucks and other handling equipment to ensure they function correctly and safely. It is also vital that you ensure that anyone who is to operate this type of machinery is fully trained and competent in the handling of such machinery.

In any warehouse or operational setting, the most commonly used handling and lifting equipment are pallet (pump) trucks, stackers, highlift trucks, platform lifters, tow trucks, and scissor lift tables. These robust pieces of apparatus can ensure your business runs more smoothy and is much more efficient, but if any of these are used incorrectly, it can lead to serious accidents or injuries.

Also known as a cage mover, the tow tractor is designed for towing warehouse/delivery cages with ease, the hook is placed under the cage cross member enabling easy towing of the load.

With warehouse roll cages regularly weighing up to 1000kg, manouvering them manually severely heightens the risk of injury to the operator and for accidents to occur, which leads businesses all over the UK to seek safer handling solutions, which is where an electric model comes in.

To eliminate manual operation, an electric tow truck is an ideal choice, and enables the operator to move heavy roll cages safely and effectively, even on ramps and inclines.

Greatly reducing the risk of injury and accidents, an electric tow truck is ideally suited for creating safer loading, unloading, deliveries, manouvering, and processing of goods.

A tow truck will improve safety and boost your operative productivity.

Why is a Pallet Truck’s height & weight capability so important?

When you are looking for new pallet trucks, you need to give thought to what they need to be used for, as this will dictate how high (or low) your pallet truck/jack needs to lift, and the weight load it needs to bear. If you invest in a pallet truck which does not have the load and/or lift capacity for the job needed, this will present an issue, because it could potentially create a health and safety risk when lifting or manoeuvring heavy loads. An example is, if you use an incorrect pallet truck for your requirements, the truck has the potential to tip over, which is hazardous, as it could damage goods, or injure those working near to you. It is therefore crucial that you look at the capacity and capability of a pallet trucks for different heights and weights, so you can be sure it is fit for your requirements.
