You’ll know when it’s time to add a brand new pallet truck to your existing fleet, and when the time comes, there are a lot of decisions to be made. Do you need a truck that will comply with a strict budget? Do you need to make a specific addition with a very focused ability, such as the facility to weigh loads or traverse narrow lanes? Will you be favouring capacity over all else? It is important to establish all of these demands before you start the search for a new pallet truck or manual handling equipment.
Phil Chesworth, Managing Director of Pallet Trucks UK, one of the country’s leading specialists in such equipment, says, “Buying a new pallet truck is something that shouldn’t be taken lightly; there are so many things to consider, from price to longevity, and from its carrying capacity to its purpose within the workplace. It is important to put a lot of research into the entire process and to get as many opinions and thoughts as possible on the new acquisition to ensure it will fit with the demands of the working environment.
