Pallet trucks, thanks to their durable nature and load carrying capabilities, have ensured that they’re a common sight in warehouses and other facilities throughout the country.

Pedestrian pallet trucks are available for local sale and hire with Hitec Lift Trucks.

For those who have a facility with limited space, pallet trucks are the perfect pallet moving solution. Not only are they easy to use, but their compact size allows for easy manoeuvrability and the small size of pedestrian pallet trucks also means it only needs a small area for storage.

PTs are particularly useful for those with limited capacity or extremely narrow aisles, such as smaller warehouses, storage areas, yards and shop floors. Not only can these increase production, as they can be loaded up with more goods than an employee can physically carry, but they also help relieve strain on employee shoulders and backs.

Cost effective to the extreme, the initial purchase costs for pedestrian hand pallet trucks is low. Maintenance for HPTs is minimum and easy to perform, with easily sourced spare parts should they need to be replaced.

Perfect for lightening the load on employees, HPTs are excellent companions when the movement of items is a critical part of a job. Not only are they simple to use and require no operator training, but their low weight means even fully loaded, they’re quick across the floor – with the exception of uneven surfaces.

Their robust and sturdy nature means they can take a large amount of punishment they begin to wear down or start to show signs of breakage.
