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 essential tools for a wide range of industries, from warehousing and logistics to retail and manufacturing. Their primary role is to facilitate the movement of heavy goods, making operations faster and more efficient.

However, with so many different types available on the market, selecting the right pallet truck for your business isn’t always straightforward.

At GO-EPT, here in the UK, we offer a diverse range of pallet trucks designed to meet various requirements, from manual to electric models. In this guide we’ll explore the different types of pallet trucks available to help you choose the right one for your business.

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.

Here in the UK, understanding regulatory compliance is crucial when operating electric pallet trucks in the workplace. 

In this blog we’ll explore whether these trucks fall under the Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations (LOLER); the key safety standards necessary for maintaining a safe and efficient environment. Whether you’re managing warehouse operations or overseeing workplace safety, familiarising yourself with these regulations is essential.
