Hand pallet trucks
Hand pallet trucks: Agile helpers with high capacity
Our hand pallet trucks represent a cost-effective solution for many transport tasks involving short distances. We have the right model for all requirements. Their high capacity of up to three tons and easy manoeuvrability in tight spaces make hand pallet trucks the perfect warehouse aid.
If you transport large quantities of goods and heavy loads across short distances on a daily basis, you will soon reap the benefits of using our manual hand pallet trucks. Thanks to their high capacity of up to three tons and excellent manoeuvrability in even the tightest of spaces, hand pallet trucks represent ideal warehouse aids. Chrome-plated axles and sliding bushings on the wheels and joints ensure smooth and effortless pulling and pushing with minimal noise.
The various models are not only suitable for standard Euro pallets, but can also be used to transport special and display pallets. This is ensured by adjustable forks (ranging from 140 to 585 millimetres) and selectable fork lengths (ranging up to 2400 millimetres).
The world's best-selling hand pallet truck in its class
The AM 22 is the classic in our range of hand pallet trucks, and the best-selling model in its class. The reasons for this are simple: It is extremely light and easy to operate. The Teflon bushings and joints ensure quiet operation and a long service life. The enhanced hydraulic system reduces the necessary pumping force. A special lowering valve enables gentle lowering of the load with utmost precision. Thanks to its greatly reduced front length, this hand pallet truck can be easily manoeuvred in the tightest of spaces.
For special applications, we also provide appropriate variations of this classic. An example of this is the AM15l, ideal for very flat pallets thanks to its low height. The AM30, on the other hand, can easily handle heavy loads thanks to its 3000 kg capacity. As well as being able to handle standard pallets, the AM V05 can be adjusted to transport small special pallets and display pallets. The AM 22 hand pallet truck is also available in low-noise form.
Hand pallet trucks with precision weighing technology
In many cases, goods need to be weighed as well as being transported in warehouses, production and dispatch. For such applications, you can take the scales to the goods thanks to our hand stackers with mobile weighing systems. The trucks make light work of heavy loads, while the scales impress with their outstanding precision. The weighing cells are positioned at the four end points of the forks, thereby ensuring accurate weighing operations at inclines of up to 2 degrees.
Explanation about Hand lift.
A Hand Lift, also known as a Hand Pallet Truck, is standard equipment that helps move goods over short distances. Commonly found in warehouses, hand lifts are ideal for handling heavy loads and product pallets. If you need to transport heavy items and reduce operating time, this equipment can help you complete tasks faster and more efficiently.
There are several types of hand lifts, also known as hand pallets, pallet jacks, or hand pallet trucks. While they may go by different names, the function and operation are similar. To operate, simply move the hand control in the desired direction for transportation. If you need faster performance, an electric hand pallet truck can make the task even easier.
With Jungheinrich’s hand pallet trucks, handling multiple pallets becomes easier and more reliable. We offer a variety of load capacities from 0.5 to 2.2 tons. We recommend using material handling equipment for your warehouse operations to maximize productivity, achieving greater results in less time.
Benefits of using hand pallet.
If you are looking for equipment to help your operations run smoothly, complete tasks quickly, and boost productivity, a hand pallet truck can be a great choice. It simplifies the movement of goods within your warehouse, making tasks easier for your team and reducing the risk of injury from lifting heavy items.
In addition to the operational advantages, using a hand pallet truck saves time, increases efficiency, and can ultimately enhance profitability. With the right equipment in place, you can handle a high volume of orders without concerns, keeping your warehouse processes running efficiently.
How to select that suitable hand pallet?
There are three main types of hand pallet trucks available: the manual hand pallet (or hand lift), the electric hand pallet (also known as a power pallet), and the electric stacker. To choose the right one for your needs, consider these two key factors:
Fork Widht: Ensure the fork width matches the size of your pallets. This will help optimize handling and support for different types of loads.
Wheels: Select wheels that are suitable for your floor surface. Different wheel materials work better on various surfaces, providing smoother movement and enhanced safety.
Choosing the right-hand pallet truck can make your operations more convenient and secure, allowing your team to handle tasks efficiently and safely.
How to select the correct fork for your pallet?
When choosing the correct fork for your pallet, consider both fork width and fork length to ensure stable and safe handling.
Fork Width: The fork width should match the size of the pallet you’re using. The two standard fork widths are 550 mm and 685 mm. This is the first factor to consider making sure you select a hand pallet truck that properly supports your pallet dimensions.
Fork Length: The fork length should be equal to or longer than the pallet length for stable handling. If the forks are too short, they may not fully support the pallet, increasing the risk of instability or accidents.
By selecting the correct fork width and length, you’ll ensure that your hand pallet truck is well-suited to your pallets, providing safer and more efficient handling.
Selecting the correct hand pallet wheels for your warehouse
Another important feature to consider when choosing a hand pallet truck is the type of wheel, as this impacts durability and suitability based on your warehouse floor conditions. Selecting the right wheel type ensures longer wheel life and better performance. Here’s a comparison of the two main types: Nylon and Polyurethane wheels.
Nylon Wheels: Made from a hard plastic material, nylon wheels are highly durable and support a high load capacity. They perform well on rough surfaces like cement, concrete, and rubber floors, as well as in extreme hot or cold temperatures or wet conditions (such as water, oil, or chemicals). However, nylon wheels can be noisy and may leave marks and scratches on the floor.
Polyurethane Wheels: Made from a softer rubber material, polyurethane wheels are quiet and flexible, reducing noise during operation compared to nylon wheels. They also do not leave marks, making them ideal for smooth, dry surfaces like epoxy, wood, loft, ceramic, or tile floors.
Choosing the correct wheel type for your floor conditions will help you achieve smoother, safer, and quieter operations.
Suitable hand pallet for wet condition and waterproof.
If you need a hand pallet truck for wet or temperature-controlled conditions, we recommend a galvanized hand pallet, specifically designed for these conditions. The galvanized coating protects the pallet truck from rust, ensuring durability even in challenging conditions. Made from high-quality materials, these hand pallet trucks are built to withstand moisture and cold storage.
For example, Jungheinrich offers the Galvanized Hand Pallet Truck AM G20, which is highly adaptable and suitable for various applications, especially in wet conditions. Here are the key benefits:
- Load Capacity: Supports up to 2,000 kg.
- Galvanized Coating: Provides full-body protection against rust, with a robust hydraulic system.
- Ideal for Wet and Cold Storage: Suitable for operations in moist or refrigerated settings.
- Rust Prevention: With a rust-resistant coating, the pallet truck maintains longevity.
- Easy Operation: Designed for flexible use and smooth control.
- Low Maintenance: The hydraulic system includes self-lubricating components, reducing maintenance needs.
- Durable Forks and Rollers: Allows easy pallet access and stable handling.
- Versatile: Compatible with a wide range of pallet types and usable both indoors and outdoors. It also comes with optional nylon or polyurethane wheels to suit different floor conditions.
This type of hand pallet truck is ideal for industries like Food & Beverage, Chemicals, Pharmaceuticals, Cold Storage, and Petrochemicals, where resistance to moisture and temperature control is essential.
Best-Selling Hand Pallet Truck Models.
The AM 22 is our top-selling standard hand pallet truck, known for its high-quality hydraulic system that ensures stable and effortless pallet handling. Its durability means a longer service life, and it transports pallets more efficiently compared to manual handling. The AM 22 provides slight lift functionality, which is useful for transferring pallets, and is maneuverable even on slopes and in narrow spaces, making it versatile across various warehouse environments.
For operations with specific needs, such as handling very low pallets, the AM 15i is ideal, thanks to its low forks that fit well with specialized pallets. For even more flexible handling, the AM V05 model is suited for small pallets and specific applications, providing adaptability in handling unique loads.
Key Considerations Before Purchasing a Hand Pallet Truck
Before purchasing a hand pallet truck, it’s important to review several factors to ensure it aligns with your operational needs:
- Load Capacity: Make sure the truck can handle the weight of your goods without being overloaded.
- Fork Dimensions: Consider fork width and length to ensure compatibility with your pallet sizes.
- Operating Environment: Evaluate the workspace, including floor conditions, racking setup, and transportation routes.
- Lift Requirements: Decide if a slight lifting function is necessary for your tasks.
- Maneuverability Needs: Consider if the truck will operate in tight spaces or on inclines, which may require models with enhanced maneuverability.
These factors will help you choose a hand pallet truck that best meets your operational conditions and limitations, ensuring safe and efficient handling.
