How high can a Pallet Truck / Stacker Truck, or High Lifter really lift?
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.
