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

Reusable packaging innovator, Loadhog has recently launched wheeled Dollies which have been designed specifically to add benefits at every stage of the supply chain.

Achieving a lean operation relies heavily on handling efficiency, allowing users to move multiple and heavy payloads as capably and easily as possible.

With customer journeys changing, buying habits fluctuating and product popularities varying continually supply chains have never needed to be as versatile as possible right now.

As digital adoption increases, local stores have begun implementing home delivery distribution networks for groceries, causing a rise in the need for transportation aids and complete end-to-end packaging systems. As businesses also look to cut costs, and future proof their operations, their attention is focussed on improving efficiencies.

Whether for an application within the light and fast e-commerce world or a heavy-duty industrial operation a Loadhog Dolly can add significant value. It can be manufactured in recycled polypropylene making for a greener, more environmentally friendly transportation assistance.

The wheeled Dollies enable the safe, effortless movement of either 600 x 400 and 300 x 400 containers, crates or collapsible boxes. Most Loadhog Dollies will transport up to 250kg and the strongest deck will move a payload of up to 500kg.

The Loadhog Dolly-64-210 and 250 incorporate the uni-link feature which allows short side and long side linking to maximise the versatility of load movement.

Loadhog managing director, Shaun Khan commented: “At this time, the ability to manoeuvre a diverse range of goods from one end of the supply chain to the other is essential. More and more companies are utilising wheeled bulk containers and other more modular transportation systems.”

The wheeled Dolly can be combined with the Pallet Lid to create a mobile packaging system offering increased vehicle fill and return efficiencies in comparison with any roll cage.

Standard Loadhog Dollies can be customised with alternative wheel material, braked casters, customer colours, printed and embossed branding, labelling and RFID.

Loadhog has unveiled new branding last year to “emphasise its constant determination to drive innovation in returnable packaging”.
