Pallet Trucks – Manual

3rd March, 2017 | by excitemedia

Hand Pallet Trucks are the most essential and most common warehouse tool! Also known as a Pallet Jack or Pallet Trolley, these solutions are commonly used to move pallets and palletised loads. With a high-quality design, they easily make a reliable workshop assistant. Our extensive range from 1500 to 5000kg capacities, are designed to suit various requirements across your organisation.

Our Pallet Trucks are supplied with a heavy-duty powder coat finish and fitted with polyurethane wheels for smooth handling on concrete surfaces. The front load rollers are a single wheel to easily roll over the bottom board of standard Chep, Loscam and other Australian-style pallets. They also feature an ergonomic handle for comfortable operation.

The standard model, which is found in most Australian applications, is commonly 685 mm wide with 1150 mm long forks. However, for those using EURO pallets or skids, we have the 450 or 520 mm narrow models available. Food grade applications, cold and freezer storage will find the galvanised and stainless options helpful.

Pallet fork

19th April, 2022 | by support.gocreative

Pallet forks are an essential piece of equipment in any workspace, warehouse or factory that uses and moves around pallets.

There are a wide variety of pallet fork attachments out there all ranging in height, width, weight, carrying capacity, material and application of use. Even the number of ‘forks’ can vary with some pallet forks boasting just two prongs and others with up to 5.

Pallet forks are mostly made from high quality steel, including the ones here at Materials Handling.

Find out more about our range of pallet forks and hooks today!

What sizes do pallet forks come in?

PHA2000 2 watermark copy 209x300 1 Pallet forks come in a wide range of sizes. The general industry standard of carrying capacity is somewhere between 1,400 and 3,000 kilograms.

Depending on what sort of material and loads you’re moving and transporting, will determine which kind of pallet fork is right for you.

How wide is a pallet fork?

Small pallet forks generally start at around 1,200 millimetres in width, while the larger models can get to twice that at 2,400 millimetres width.

When you’re choosing the right pallet fork for your particular application make sure you consider the layout and space of not just your pallets but your worksite. You will need to be able to easily manoeuvre the pallet fork through the space.

How to choose the right pallet fork?

Standards

The first thing to do when choosing your pallet fork, is to conduct due diligence on the supplier. Make sure the manufacturer of the fork meets all of the required industry standards including:

ITA
ANSI
ISO
ASME
EMI

Take the time to discuss their quality control processes and measures before you buy. Ask them about the materials they use, the inspections they carry out and more.

Rating

All pallet forks should come with an individual rating. This rating will give you an indication of what sort of work it is capable of doing safely. Part of this rating will include whether it is 20-inch or 24-inch load centre rating. It’s really important that the pallet fork you choose meets the rating requirements of the job at hand.

Quality

Your pallet fork is likely going to be subject to extensive use so you need to be reassured that your equipment will be able to last and be durable under the wear and tear.

Speak to the experts

The best way to make sure you choose the right pallet fork is by speaking to the experts. The team here at Materials Handling are always available to speak to you about any questions, concerns or applications. So get in touch with our team today!

Lifting and Handling Platform

30th October, 2021 | by materialshandling

With our Lifting and Handling Platform, you can load and unload heavy machinery safely. Transporting heavy equipment around the worksite can now be completed with confidence as the Handling Platform can be carried by forklift or overhead crane.

The Lifting Platform is particularly helpful when devices need to be rolled onto the platform and then moved to another location. For example, a pallet truck can be rolled onto the Handling Platform at ground level. The forklift can then lift the platform to the tray of a vehicle for the pallet truck to then be safely rolled off the platform and onto the vehicle tray.

The platform has a recessed base, allowing it to fit into standard pallet racking. The reinforced sides assure the steel chassis design has excellent strength and durability. As such, it’s a robust materials handling and storage solution.

The lifting and Handling Platform is ideal for use in industries such as rental, manufacturing, and warehousing. In any application where awkward, heavy equipment and machinery is transported on a regular basis.

The ramp makes it simple to position rolling equipment on the platform. Of course, tie-down points are included to secure loads to the Handling Platform.
