APT-20 Floating Fork EPS Electric Pallet Truck — 2 Ton

Product Description

Closed plastic pallets — widely used in food, pharmaceutical, automotive parts, and retail supply chains — present a practical challenge for standard electric pallet trucks: the rigid fork design can catch on the lip of the closed pallet base, requiring multiple repositioning attempts and increasing the risk of pallet or product damage.

The Noveltek APT-20 Floating Fork EPS Electric Pallet Truck is engineered specifically for this operating condition. The floating fork mechanism allows the fork tips to adapt dynamically during pallet entry — conforming to the opening geometry of closed and semi-enclosed pallet bases rather than forcing a rigid contact. The result is cleaner, faster pallet engagement with less operator intervention and reduced pallet wear.

The EPS (Electronic Power Steering) system provides 185° of full-arc control with automatic speed reduction during turns — maintaining operational precision at 2-ton load capacity. The AC drive motor delivers consistent performance with 30%+ energy savings and a brushless design that eliminates carbon brush maintenance cycles.

For facilities that have standardized on closed plastic pallets across their supply chain, the APT-20 Floating Fork eliminates one of the most common sources of operational friction in the picking and transport workflow.

2-ton load capacity. 100% Made in Taiwan. ISO 9001 certified. CE certified. OEM/ODM available.

Key Features

• Floating Fork Design: Fork tips flex to conform to closed or partially-enclosed pallet base openings — resolves the entry problem that causes damage, jams, and operational delays with standard rigid forks

• Electronic Power Steering (EPS): 185° steering arc with power-assisted control; 50% automatic speed reduction during cornering

• AC Drive Motor: 30%+ energy savings vs. DC; brushless, low-maintenance design

• LED MDI-CAN Indicator: Battery level, operating hours, fault codes, low-battery alarm via CAN-BUS

• Long-Duration Industrial Traction Battery: Engineered for continuous shift operation

• Lead-Free PU Enamel Coating: Anti-rust multi-layer finish

• OEM/ODM Customization: Fork geometry, load capacity, and battery configurations availabl

Applications

• Food and beverage facilities using closed plastic hygienic pallets

• Pharmaceutical and medical device supply chains with closed pallet requirements

• Retail distribution centers with standardized plastic pallet systems

• Automotive parts supply operations

• Any facility where closed or semi-enclosed plastic pallets are the operational standard

FAQ

Q1：What problem does a floating fork solve on an electric pallet truck?

A1：Standard pallet truck forks are rigid and rely on the fork tips entering a consistent, open-bottomed pallet opening. Closed plastic pallets — which have a solid or partially-solid base with only small openings for fork entry — can create a mismatch: the rigid fork tip catches on the pallet edge, causing jams, repeated re-attempts, and potential pallet damage. The floating fork design allows the fork tip to flex and adapt to the pallet opening geometry, making entry cleaner and faster without operator repositioning.

Q2：Are floating forks suitable for wood pallets?

A2：Noveltek's floating fork design is not limited to wood or plastic pallets — it is purpose-built for closed pallets (pallets with a sealed front entry). When the forks are raised, the fork wheels retract and no longer contact the pallet base, allowing smooth entry and exit without pushing the empty pallet along. Compatible with wood, plastic, and any closed-entry pallet type.
