Hyster expands range with affordable pallet truck

Hyster has expanded its range of warehouse equipment with the efficient new P1.6UT pedestrian pallet truck. Designed to be affordable to own, easy to maintain and fit for many applications, the new Hyster pallet truck can lift loads up to 1.6 tonnes.

The slimline and lightweight model is easy to manoeuvre, is stable with good gradeability, and has all the core functionality needed for applications such as last-mile deliveries or back-of-store use.

As well as delivering a low cost of operation, the Hyster P1.6UT Pedestrian Pallet Truck offers competitive energy consumption with a shift life of up to 12 hours thanks to a combination of a powerful battery and motor. Standard warranty and service intervals apply.

The new Pallet Truck is simple to use for operators, with the same controls as found on other Hyster warehouse equipment and features a long tiller arm and butterfly accelerator direction controls.

Alongside the optimum features as standard, a range of options enable applications to tailor the truck further to their application needs. For instance, tandem load wheels, onboard charger, auto switch-off and travel speed reduction as battery charge decreases.

“With the new P1.6UT, businesses can benefit from an efficient pallet truck that meets the need and makes the move,” says Daniel McNeil, SPED and Solutions Manager, Hyster Europe. “When matched with the right operating intensity, whether you’re filling supermarket shelves, stocking a storeroom, or unloading deliveries from a lorry you can expect a low cost of ownership and affordable efficiency.”

The Hyster P1.6UT is available to order now from the global network of local Hyster distribution partners.

 

Two New Hand Pallet Trucks Launched

Clark has launched two new hand pallet trucks for different customer requirements. The trucks are the HPT Eco and the HPT Premium.

Built by Clark, one of the worldwide market leaders in the industrial truck business, both the HPT Eco and the HPT Premium are designed for loads with a maximum of 2,500 kg. Both units are characterized by a robust design and easy operation. Their sturdy frame is powder-coated for high resistance to wear and tear, thus guaranteeing a long service life. Lifting and lowering of the load is done manually by a hydraulic pump. The operator can lift and manoeuvre weights of several tons with very little effort. The proportional valve allows the forks to be lowered smoothly and sensitively even with heavy loads. The pressure relief valve protects against overloading the lift truck. The equipment runs very smoothly during moving, lifting and lowering. The hand pallet trucks also score points due to their low unladen weight and manoeuvrability. This is particularly advantageous when space is limited.

For a high handling performance, both units can optionally be equipped with Quicklift (quick lift) and thus loads up to 150 kg can be lifted and moved quickly in the warehouse. Both hand pallet trucks are equipped with entry and exit rollers and are available with different roller designs (nylon, rubber or poly) and fork lengths. Thus, wherever pallets or other load carriers have to be picked up and transported, Clark hand pallet trucks ensure ergonomic and efficient work processes at low purchase and maintenance costs.

Maximum productivity with minimum effort

The HPT Eco was designed for lighter applications. It has a unladen weight of 69 kg and a maximum steering angle of 190°. Thanks to the large steering angle of the tiller, the hand pallet truck is manoeuvrable in extremely narrow spaces. With a net weight of 63 kg, the HPT Premium even has a maximum steering angle of 205° and is designed for demanding customers. The robustly designed frame as well as the drawbar ensure that the HPT Premium is highly stable even in tougher applications.

Both vehicles are characterized by their simple operation: The HPT Eco has a curved drawbar and the handle for operating the hydraulics is angled. On the HPT Premium, the tiller is more ergonomically designed. For this purpose, it has been made slightly smaller and the handle has been wrapped to ensure good grip. Both machines require little maintenance and can be operated without additional technical equipment. The Premium machine has a quick mounting system for quick attachment or replacement of the drawbar.

Earlier this year Clark announced they had also boosted their warehouse truck range with new lithium trucks
