Heavy duty pallet truck

The heavy duty pallet truck is the perfect solution for handling unconventional loads. The devices are designed and produced by PTB in the Netherlands. The design of every heavy duty pallet truck is based on customer requirements. The devices can handle materials from 1 to 60 tons (1.000 - 60.000 kg). The PTB heavy duty pallet truck is 100% electric and easy-to-use. The device is operated in the same way as a normal electric pallet truck, but can be adapted and expanded.

The PTB heavy pallet duty truck can effortlessly move materials such as pallets, coils, paper rolls, airport pallets, dies and machinery. The options for the load carriage range from the traditional forks to coil forks, multiple forks, a platform or an entirely new concept. Operation methods range from the traditional tiller-handle steering to remote or automatically controlled operation. Read more about operation methods.

The benefits of a PTB heavy duty pallet truck

	Numerous safety systems: automatically adjusted speeds in corners, emergency switches, safety labels and much more.
	Fully-electric with maintenance-free electrical motors.
	More affordable than a forklift with a similar capacity.
	Safer transportation of cargo, because of customized load carrier.

Example: 10 ton in a level position

For a customer from Thailand, we built two heavy duty pallet trucks, with 10,5 ton load capacity each. The trucks were designed to carry pallets with 10.500 kg of cargo into a shipping container. This had to be done by driving over a dock leveler, which often stands in an 11.5 degree angle. Driving over such a steep slope into a cargo container requires some serious power, yet the truck also has to be relatively small. A regular high capacity forklift would be too massive for this job. PTB was asked to design a system which keeps the cargo level when driving over the slope.
