How to Choose the Right Equipment
Selecting the right material handling truck comes down to a few practical parameters. Consider these points before you order, or share them with us and we will recommend a model.
- 1Load capacity — weigh your typical pallets and add a safety margin; never run a truck at its absolute limit.
- 2Lift height — match stacker lift height to your racking levels; pallet trucks only raise load clear of the floor.
- 3Aisle width — narrow aisles need compact trucks; wider bays can accommodate higher-capacity electric units.
- 4Power type — manual for light/intermittent use, electric for heavy, frequent or long-distance transport.
- 5Environment — consider floor condition, ramps, cold rooms, dust and any wash-down or corrosion concerns.
