palettfordon

Palettfordon is a term used to describe equipment designed to move pallets. They are essential in warehouses, distribution centers and retail environments, providing a stable platform and forks that slide under pallets to lift and transport them. The category covers manual pallet trucks, electric pallet trucks, pallet stackers and larger powered vehicles such as forklifts and reach trucks.

Manual pallet trucks consist of a wheeled chassis with two forks and a hydraulic pump operated by a lever to raise the forks. Electric pallet trucks use a battery-powered motor to lift and propel the load, and often include features such as ergonomic handles, variable speed, and automatic centering. Pallet stackers raise pallets to modest heights for shelving; reach trucks have extendable forks for accessing pallets in racks.

Capacity varies by model, from a few hundred kilograms for small manual jacks to several tonnes for forklifts. They are designed for indoor use on smooth floors, though some models are rated for outdoor or uneven surfaces and may feature pneumatic tires or all-terrain wheels.

In practice they enable inventory moving, loading and unloading, order picking, and goods staging. Operators should complete training and follow safety procedures, conduct daily inspections, and ensure maintenance. Proper use reduces the risk of injury, pallet damage and equipment wear.
