As the United States celebrates National Safety Month, Pallet Trucks UK is taking the opportunity this June to reinforce the importance of workplace health and safety closer to home.
In support of the UK’s ongoing efforts to reduce workplace injuries, the company is highlighting its range of ergonomically designed pallet trucks – built to make lifting, moving and transporting goods safer and easier for staff.
According to the latest Health and Safety Executive (HSE), musculoskeletal disorders continue to account for a large proportion of workplace injuries across the UK. In warehouses, retail operations, and logistics hubs, manual handling remains one of the most common sources of strain, stress, and time off work.
Pallet Trucks UK is helping businesses reduce that risk with smartly designed equipment that takes the pressure off workers and supports a culture of safe, effective operations.
The Triton 25A 2500kg Premium Hand Pallet Truck is a standout choice for busy warehouses. Featuring an extended warranty, a rubber-wrapped handle for grip, and PU steer wheels for smooth movement, it is built for daily use while reducing user fatigue and minimising risk. With overload protection and controllable lowering speed, it supports safer handling practices and prevents overexertion.
For heavier loads, the MID-EPT20A Fully Electric Pallet Truck is a reliable, high-capacity option. With its 2000kg rating and maintenance-free brushless motor, this compact unit is ideal for repetitive lifting tasks. Its lithium battery system reduces downtime, while the multi-function handle, complete with LCD display and emergency stop button, ensures safety is built into every function.
Also worthy of note is the Vango 1000 Semi-Electric Self-Loading Stacker, which offers an innovative solution for loading and unloading vehicles without the need for external lifting equipment. With a 1000kg capacity and compact design, it improves safety in tight spaces and allows for smoother, more controlled movement of goods.
Phil Chesworth, Managing Director at Pallet Trucks UK, said, “Even though National Safety Month isn’t officially observed in the UK, it’s a timely reminder of the importance of protecting staff from unnecessary strain and injury. Our range of ergonomic pallet trucks and stackers is designed to make tough jobs safer and easier – and we’re proud to support businesses that prioritise health and wellbeing on the warehouse floor. Health and safety matter, no matter what side of the pond you’re on.”
