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.

A low profile pallet truck or an extra low profile pump truck offers notable benefits by allowing easy access to low clearance pallets, which makes it an ideal choice for tight turning circles and spaces, handling non-standard pallets, and areas/situations where standard pallet trucks cannot operate, therefore increasing versatility across many industries, whilst improving operatoring comfort and safety due to the ergonomic design. Opting for a low profile model leads to improved efficiency and reduced risk of injury in operational areas and warehouses.
