PTB designs compact 6 tons pallet truck

PTB Special Products recently designed a custom pallet truck for Huf Polska upon request. The Polish specialist for secure car access and authorization approached PTB Special Products for a tailor-made solution for transporting heavy injection molds.

Moving injection molds

Huf Polska serves the automotive industry with various car parts such as brackets, door handles, and emblems. The production process requires the heavy injection molds to be moved through the factory hall. The pallet truck specifically made for this optimizes this process.

Specialization and high quality

Huf's investors chose PTB Special Products because of its well-known specialist knowledge in the field of customized warehouse equipment and high product quality.

Compact design

Huf asked PTB to make the truck as compact as possible, without compromising the desired lifting capacity of 6,000 kilograms. PTB's developers shortened the regular chassis so that the desired maximum length of the machine was 2000 mm. The length of the chassis had to remain within 800 mm so that the truck could be equipped with 1200 mm forks.

Pallets with injection molds

In addition to the chassis, the forks have also been adjusted. These are only 190mm wide and have an initial height of 90mm. The compact design of the forks is intended to carry pallets with injection molds.

Battery exchange system

The truck is used daily and is therefore equipped with an ingenious battery exchange system. By installing the charging system in the factory hall, the battery can be exchanged effortlessly and the machine remains operational. In this way, PTB guarantees optimal deployment of the truck.
