What are the benefits of a Low Profile Pallet Truck here in the UK?

Welcome to another blog post from us here at Go-EPT - Your trusted UK supplier  and stockist of manual hand pallet trucks, electric pump trucks, stackers, high lifters, and so much more. We are proud to be a SafeContractor™ Approved Company.

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.

Key benefits of a low profile pallet truck:

• Access to low clearance pallets: Handles pallets with lower heights, vital for situations with low-clearance loads or specialised pallets.
• Maneuverability in confined or limited spaces: The lower profile of this type of pump truck allows for much easier manoeuvrability in narrow aisles or crowded areas where a standard pallet truck may struggle.
• Versatility in applications: Suitable for a wider range of pallet types and warehouse layouts, including non-standard pallets. 
• Improved operator comfort: The ergonomic design can significantly reduce demands of the operator, especially when working in confined spaces.
• Enhanced safety: The lower profile of this model of truck improves visibility and manoeuvrability for the operator, thereby reducing the risk of accident or injury.
