What are the advantages of using hand pallet trucks?

Small, manoeuvrable and easy to use, hand pallet trucks are essential tools for any industry where pallets are being handled. Read what benefits these simple forklifts can bring to your business.

Better ergonomics and safe working conditions

Low lifters can help workers to avoid manually lifting and carrying heavy palletised loads, reducing the risk of back injuries and physical strain, as they come with safety features like a hand brake and load restrictions to mitigate these risks.

Hand pallet trucks are easy to operate, and minimal training is required for employees to use them effectively. Ergonomically designed handles and controls contribute to operator comfort.

For more a quiet operation, you can opt for a silent BT Lifter, ideal for operating in residential areas or for delivery by night.

Space and cost saving

Hand pallet trucks are highly manoeuvrable, making them ideal for navigating through narrow store aisles and tight spaces. They allow for efficient movement of goods in congested areas.

Toyota BT Lifters are a cost-effective alternative to powered trucks. They require less maintenance, have a lower upfront cost, use no energy and are easier to operate, reducing overall material handling expenses whilst contributing to more sustainable operations. 

Versatility equals more productivity

Hand pallet trucks are versatile tools suitable for a wide range of industries, including warehousing, retail, manufacturing, and logistics. They can handle various pallet sizes and types.

BT Lifters can transport goods in a warehouse or production facility but can also be a handy tool to move goods around in smaller shops to replenish shelves or support order picking.

Manual pallet trucks have fewer moving parts and require less maintenance compared to powered forklift trucks. This translates into lower maintenance costs and less downtime.

Hand pallet trucks are ready for immediate use, as they do not require charging or access to electricity, simplifying operations during peak hours.
