As everyone knows, pallet trucks are used to move pallets around warehouses, loading bays and factories all over the world. As building construction projects have seen an increase in activity since the relaxing of pandemic restrictions during late 2021, full steam ahead seems to be the mantra for many large projects around the UK. This has resulted in an increase in the demand for better equipment to help solve the perennial problem of moving goods, plant and materials around building sites, particularly when the ground is very rough, uneven and wet. Well fear not! There is an answer to this difficult situation.

Rough terrain pallet trucks are designed specifically to help make moving goods over the uneven land of building sites so much easier. Their large pneumatic tyred wheels make easy work of rough ground conditions. They require minimum operator effort making them easy to use and a time saver!

There are two basic models available, both with a 1200kg capacity. One model has hand hydraulic operation, whilst the other is a fully electric version providing both electric travel and electric lift. Seeking professional advice about making a model selection can be valuable time well spent, as choosing the wrong type can result in a wasted investment.

Before making a purchase, consideration needs to be given as to the quantity, size, weight and frequency of goods being transported on an average working day. These factors will help determine if a manual or electric model is best suited to the tasks. A supplier can also discuss charging schedules to estimate how much work an electric pallet truck can do, based on the level of planned work.

In most site cases we have found that the use of an all terrain pallet truck can increase productivity and worker safety.
