Battery-powered pallet truck efficiency boosts warehouse productivity. They handle repeated loads quickly and navigate narrow aisles. For operations not requiring sit-down forklifts, they offer a cost-effective, reliable alternative.
No special license usually required, unlike forklifts. Operators experience less fatigue compared to manual trucks. Tiller controls allow precise lift and lower operation, enhancing safety in busy areas.
Fewer moving parts mean less wear and tear, lower repair costs, and higher uptime. Batteries are easy to monitor, and electric drives simplify preventive maintenance.
The operator walks behind the truck. Best for short distances, light-to-medium loads, and tight warehouse layouts.
Features a platform or seat. Ideal for large facilities where long-distance transport and high throughput are common.
Powered pallet truck fills the gap between a pallet truck and a forklift. When lifting or stacking is needed but a full forklift is impractical, a high-lift truck provides vertical reach without requiring a driver’s seat.
Manufacturing & Warehousing: Moves pallets across the floor, supports dock work.
Retail & In‑Store Replenishment: Helps replenish inventory, especially for low-level picking.
Food & Beverage Distribution: Handles heavy or liquid-loaded pallets reliably.
Cold Storage / Freezer Environments: Electric models suit temperature-controlled areas because they need less maintenance than combustion machines.
Noveltek’s heavy-duty powered pallet trucks range up to 8–15 tons in capacity (see their PPT-80/100/150 models).
Pick a model based on your facility’s heaviest loads.
Lead Acid: Common, cost-effective, proven.
Higher‑Capacity Batteries (e.g., 48 V): Noveltek uses these for large-capacity models.
Consider fork length and width when matching to your pallet type. Also think about the turning radius—especially if your aisles are tight.
Crane Scale: Turns the truck into a weighing station.
Rack Collision Protection: Guards racks and infrastructure from accidental contact.
Ramps: Facilitate easy access with small trolleys or carts.
Compatibility: Works seamlessly alongside other material‑handling equipment like forklifts or stackers.
Use Manual When: Loads are light, the operation is simple, and cost matters.
Upgrade to Powered When: You need more frequent trips, have heavier loads, or longer distances.
Forklifts Provide: High lift, stacking, and very heavy lift capacity.
Use a Powered Pallet Truck When: Your focus is ground-level transport, space is limited, or you want to avoid requiring a forklift operator license.
