The steel high-lift pallet truck: an ergonomic solution for handling and lifting
The steel high-lift pallet truck is the ideal tool for lifting and positioning heavy loads at an ergonomic height, thus reducing physical effort and preventing musculoskeletal disorders. STOCKMAN offers a range of electric and manual high-lift pallet trucks to suit a variety of handling and lifting needs. STOCKMAN models are among the best-selling products on the handling and lifting market.
Why invest in a high-lift pallet truck?
High-lift pallet trucks offer several significant advantages:
- Prevention of musculoskeletal disorders: by placing loads at height, these pallet trucks eliminate the need to constantly bend down. This considerably reduces the risk of back, neck and arm injuries for operators. Even fully manual models help prevent RSI.
- Versatility of use: manual or electric, these high-lift pallet trucks are ideal for both lifting and moving pallets up to a height of 800 mm, making them easy to use on production lines or in shelving in any industry.
- Enhanced safety: high-lift pallet trucks feature side stabilizers to prevent pallets from tipping over when in the raised position. A safety valve also prevents overloading and protects the hydraulic pump.

How to choose the right steel high-lift pallet truck?
Steel high-lift pallet trucks are indispensable handling tools for improving the ergonomics and safety of pallet lifting and moving operations. Whether manual or electric, these pallet trucks offer a reliable solution that's easy to use, durable and suitable for a variety of industrial environments. The choice of a model depends on several criteria.

- Load dimensions: STOCKMAN offers high-lift pallet trucks with extended forks. Standard models are available with 1500 mm, 1800 mm and 2000 mm forks. Fork widths of 680 mm are also available. For customized solutions, please contact our sales teams.

Maintenance and durability of a steel high-lift pallet truck
The steel high-lift pallet truck is a robust piece of equipment. However, to ensure its longevity, regular maintenance is essential. It's essential to check the condition of wheels, rollers and forks frequently. As with a conventional hand pallet truck, all moving parts must be greased to ensure optimum operation, and the hydraulic pump oil level must be checked.
