Hand pallet trucks

The choice of hand pallet truck depends largely on the length of the forks, which must be compatible with the type of pallet used.

In general:

• standard forks (approx. 1150 mm) → ideal for Euro pallets
• short forks → suitable for confined spaces or compact pallets
• long forks → useful for handling non-standard pallets or multiple pallets together

Choosing the correct length avoids manoeuvrability issues and improves operational efficiency.

A lowered hand pallet truck is designed to work with non-standard or very low pallets.

It is useful when:

• pallets are of reduced height
• non-European industrial pallets are used
• standard forks cannot fit under the load

It therefore allows you to handle situations where a traditional hand pallet truck would not be usable.

The stainless steel hand pallet truck is the best choice in environments where high hygiene standards or corrosion resistance are required.

It is particularly suitable for:

• the food industry
• the pharmaceutical sector
• damp or harsh environments

Stainless steel guarantees resistance to water, chemicals and frequent washing.

The manual high lift pallet truck not only allows you to move pallets but also to lift them to an ergonomic height.

It is ideal when:

• you want to work without bending over
• you need a lifting function similar to a work surface
• you are carrying out picking or order preparation operations

It can lift the load up to approximately 800 mm, improving ergonomics and safety.

The choice between single or double rollers under the forks of a manual pallet truck affects ease of handling, particularly when entering and exiting the pallet.

In general:

• single rollers → are the standard solution, suitable for regular pallets and even flooring
• double rollers → make it easier to slide under the pallet and improve movement, especially with heavy loads or slightly uneven surfaces

Double rollers are particularly useful when:

• heavy pallets are being handled
• the pallets are not perfectly aligned
• small differences in floor level or surface imperfections need to be overcome

Not always. Most pallet trucks with scales are designed for internal warehouse checks and not for commercial use.

To sell goods by weight, you must use an instrument with CE-M metrological approval, compliant with the European NAWI standard, which guarantees the legal validity of the weighing.

The load capacity of the manual pallet truck must be chosen based on the average weight of the loads being handled.

The most common models have load capacities:

• up to 2000–2500 kg → standard use
• higher → heavy or industrial loads

Choosing an appropriate load capacity is essential to ensure safety and durability.

Yes, but only on certain models of pallet trucks with scales.

Some products can be supplied, on request and with a specific configuration, in a CE-M approved version. This configuration allows the pallet truck to be used for legal weighing operations, such as:

• sale of goods by weight
• commercial transactions based on weighing

No. CE-M approval depends on the instrument’s design and is available only on certain models.

Not all pallet trucks with scales are eligible for approval, as they must be designed and certified by the manufacturer in accordance with the requirements of European metrology regulations.

No. Scale calibration and CE-M approval are two different things.

Calibration serves to verify measurement accuracy by comparing the scale with test weights and can be carried out on any model by specialised or accredited laboratories.

CE-M approval, on the other hand, is a legal certification required to use the instrument in commercial operations.
