Pallet Truck Hire

The demands placed on modern logistics and production processes are becoming increasingly complex. Especially for companies that carry out short-term projects, manage seasonal order peaks or are looking for special solutions, renting a pallet truck is a cost-effective and flexible alternative to buying one. In this comprehensive guide, you can find out why pallet trucks are ideal for renting and what aspects need to be considered.

Which pallet truck model to hire? You should pay attention to this!

Choosing the right pallet truck is crucial for efficiently implementing your operational requirements. Various factors such as the environment, the distances, the type of loads and their weight play a key role. Every situation is unique - here are the most important criteria to help you find the right model.

Application area and surroundings

Where will the rented pallet truck be used?

Before making a rental decision, it is important to clearly define the area of use. Will the pallet truck mainly be used indoors, in warehouses or production facilities? Or do you need a device that can also be used outdoors? Different operating conditions require specific models:

• Indoors: Compact pallet trucks with an agile design and precise control options are suitable for warehouses, manufacturing facilities, and logistic environments.
• Outdoors: On uneven terrain, on ramps or on construction sites, you should choose a model that is suitable for outdoor use and may be equipped with special tyres. A device with an initial lift (lifting of the wheel arm) is also recommended here.

What are the spatial conditions like?

• Low ceilings or confined spaces: In such cases, models with a limited lifting height and compact design are recommended.
• High rack systems in the warehouse: Here you need high lift trucks that can transport loads safely and easily to great heights.

What are the ground conditions?

The condition of the floor has a significant influence on the choice of pallet truck. Standard pallet trucks are sufficient on smooth floors, whereas specialised wheels or higher load capacities are required for uneven or slippery surfaces. Ramps and thresholds also require pallet trucks with greater stability.

Lifting height and load capacity

Height and weight: two key factors

The requirements for the load capacity and lifting height of the pallet truck depend heavily on the specific area of application:

Lifting height:

• A standard pallet truck with minimum lifting height is sufficient for working close to the ground or transporting pallets over short distances.
• Projects that require the stacking of pallets in racking systems require a high lift truck that can reach a lifting height of several meters.

Load capacity:

• Lighter loads (up to 1.5 tons): Standard models are inexpensive and sufficient for most transportation tasks.
• Heavier loads (2 to 3 tons or more): Robust models with a greater load capacity are recommended for heavy machinery or building materials.

Type of loads

Lift trucks are versatile, but not equally suitable for every type of load:

• Pallets: Standard pallet trucks are ideally suited.
• Heavy machinery or equipment: opt for models with a high load capacity.
• Non-palletised loads: You may need accessories or special solutions.

Duration and frequency of use

Another important point when choosing a rental pallet truck is the planned duration of use:

• Continuous operation or daily use: For frequent use, we recommend our particularly robust, durable models, which are designed for heavy-duty work.

Companies with a need for intensive pallet truck use should also consider the maintenance and reliability of the model to avoid potential downtime. Our rental offer includes reliable technical support, including regular maintenance.

Technical specifications

Modern pallet trucks also differ in terms of their technical features. The following points should be taken into account when renting:

• Battery life and charging time: How long does the battery of an electric pallet truck last? Long periods of use require a high battery capacity, exchangeable batteries or lithium-ion batteries to ensure productivity.
• Maneuverability: Maneuverable and compact models should be selected, especially in confined spaces.
• Dimensions: Ensure that the pallet truck fits through all doors, aisles and access points in the operating area.
