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.

What is a high lift pallet truck?

A highlifter pallet truck (manual model - see below for the electric model),also known as a scissor lift pallet truck, is designed to enhance productivity and safety in all operational settings. A high lift pallet truck is essential for your warehouse. But what is it and why do you need one? Please read this article to find out…

With the ability to lift up to 800mm, our range of Highlifters are perfect for production lines and warehouses where reducing the risk of injury from bending and twisting is crucial.

They are an integral piece of equipment that will help to lift and move pallets and goods around warehouses. Really, you may think of them as a simplified forklift truck.

A high lift pallet truck can raise a pallet up to a safe working height without exertion. This reduces the need for operators to twist or bend to handle heavy loads. They can either be manual or electrically powered (see below).

Pallet trucks are the backbone of material handling in warehouses, factories and distribution centres. These essential tools make the movement of heavy loads faster and more efficient. But like any piece of equipment, pallet trucks have a finite lifespan. With the right care and attention, however, you can significantly extend that lifespan, saving your business from costly replacements or downtime.

In this post, we’ll explore what impacts the longevity of pallet trucks and how regular maintenance, combined with access to high-quality spare parts, can keep them performing at their best for years to come.

Hand Pallet trucks are indispensable in many industries for handling and transporting goods. Whilst they seem straightforward to use, proper training is required to ensure safety and to comply with UK regulations.

In this guide, we’ll explore the necessity and benefits of pallet truck training.
