This battery pallet truck works similarly as a manual hand pallet truck, but it incorporates an electric mechanism for both lifting and movement, reducing the physical effort required by the user. It is operated by a maintenance free AC motor that runs on a traction battery to power the electric motor and lifting mechanism. The design is robust and capable of carrying heavier loads over longer distances in compared other battery pallet trucks. Additionally, the foldable ride-on platform allows users to stand while operating the truck using the multi-function ergonomic safety-handle, which minimize fatigue. This truck is ideal for heavy duty handling and can significantly improve productivity.
