Why Wide Pallet Trucks Are the Material Handling Solution More Operations Need — But Too Few Have Discovered



Go into any warehouse, distribution center or manufacturing plant and you'll see lots of standard pallet trucks. They're all around — for moving a regular pallet by hand a few feet at a time on flat, even ground, a simple hydraulic pallet jack will do. The limitations of a standard pallet truck are clearly evident, though, when your operation must do something more, anything bigger, anything different, and anything that demands much greater stability during transport.

In this context, wide pallet trucks come into play. For those operations around North America that have experienced the benefits of a wide pallet truck that's specified for the job, Superlift Material Handling Inc. is the name of the game.


What Makes Wide Pallet Trucks a Different Class of Material Handling Equipment

Operational case and arguments for wide pallet trucks are simple and convincing. Standard pallet trucks are designed to fit a standard 48 x 40 inch pallet. Any load wider, longer or not quite so standard as that may create real handling problems: loss of stability during transport, load positioning out of balance and a much higher probability of load shifting, tipping or striking adjacent racking, equipment or people.

A wide pallet truck addresses these issues head on. Wide pallet trucks offer extended fork lengths and — in some models — a greater fork span, which makes them ideal for oversized, non-standard and irregularly configured loads and provides the stability, control and safety that demanding operations demand. From moving wide timber boards, large sheet materials, double width pallets, industrial equipment components or even custom configured manufacturing skids, a well specified wide pallet truck provides your operators with the capability to handle those loads safely and with confidence every time.

Superlift Material Handling Inc.'s broad pallet truck solutions come in a variety of sizes and types – this is because no two operations are alike. From our standard ergonomic pallet trucks, all the way up to our heavy-duty machines that can handle loads of more than 100,000 lbs, our range is supported by decades of application experience and a first-hand understanding of what material handling demands really look like in manufacturing, warehousing, logistics, and industry.
