The 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 powered by deep cycle sealed batteries to power the electric motor and lifting mechanism. The design is more robust and capable of carrying heavier loads over longer distances in compared to the lighter duty battery truck. Additionally, the foldable ride-on platform allows users to stand while operating the truck using the multi-function ergonomic safety-handle, which minimizes fatigue. This truck is ideal for medium duty handling and can greatly boost productivity.
