The most common Hand Pallet Trucks used in the UK
So, which one to buy for your pallets?
Euro Hand Pallet Truck
A Euro Hand Pallet Truck works perfectly with a Euro Pallet lengthwise [A] but
can also be utilized sideways [B]. However, you can NOT push the Pallet Truck
all the way through as it will stick out the other side and when the wheels
are pumped up it will rip the bottom board off. The Euro Hand Pallet Truck
will also work in a GKN (CHEP) Pallet lengthwise [C] and also be used sideways
if needed [D]. However, you cannot push the Pallet Truck all the way through
as it will stick out the other side and when the wheels are pumped up it will
rip the bottom board off.
GKN (CHEP) Hand Pallet Truck
The GKN (CHEP) Hand Pallet Truck will NOT go into a Euro pallet lengthways [E] but it can be used sideways [F]. However, you can NOT push the Pallet Truck all the way through as it will stick out the other side and when the wheels are pumped up it will rip the bottom board off. With a GKN (CHEP) pallet, the truck will work lengthwise, although the load will rock a little [G]. On the other hand, it works perfectly sideways [H].
What type of steer wheel do you need?
The majority of Hand Pallet Trucks come with 2 main steer wheel options:
- Nylon/Polyurethane
- Rubber Edged Nylon*
When choosing the Steer Wheels for your Hand Pallet Truck, make sure you consider the environment you are operating in, the surfaces you handle loads on, and the ideal noise level when transporting pallets.
Nylon/Polyurethane
- Operate better on a smooth floor
- Non-marking
- High load capacity
- Not good over rough ground or ridges
- Hard wearing
Rubber Edged Nylon
- Low noise levels
- Suitable for rough surfaces
- Higher grip for tailgate work
- Less impact over ridges in the floor
- Rubber wheels are only available on the PRAMAC GS Evo Silent Hand Pallet Truck.
