How to find the right lithium-ion pallet truck

Li-ion pallet trucks are part of our electric pallet truck range and can be flexibly used in logistics, warehousing, sales and shipping departments. The all-electric pallet trucks offer state-of-the-art drive technology, making them particularly economical to use, with short loading times, high energy density and a long service life with no memory effect.

All this makes our lithium pallet trucks the perfect aids for lifting, transporting and lowering pallets, lattice boxes and other low-ground level goods. Some of our models are also suitable for loading and unloading via ramps, as well as aiding truck loading/unloading.

Thanks to the innovative and ergonomic multifunction drawbar, employees can conveniently control all driving and lifting functions. As a result, the lithium-ion pallet jacks are easy to manoeuvre and can safely move loads weighing up to 2000kg.

Some of our lithium pallet jack models also combine the benefits of lithium technology with an innovative three-phase motor. This makes them more economical than a jack using a conventional DC motor, as well as removing the need for numerous wear-prone auxiliary parts and reducing ongoing maintenance requirements.

Lithium battery pallet jacks can be partially and fully charged at any time, making them suitable for multi-shift operations. Despite their compact design, they also offer higher energy efficiency than electric pallet trucks powered by lead-acid batteries. All our models are designed for pedestrian operation.

1. Choose the correct type: Entry-level or professional models

Our li-ion pallet jacks are divided into two groups, each offering a different range of functions and performance levels.

Lithium-ion pallet truck design Details and applications
