• Smaller size, tighter turning circle – ideal for narrow aisles and warehouse rows.
• Easier to operate – shorter training time, lower operator workload.
• Targeted use – primarily for moving palletized goods, not for complex goods handling operations.
• Economical operation – lower investment and maintenance costs.

• warehouse logistics and distribution
• retail and wholesale
• food and beverage industry
• light industry, manufacturing
• packaging and assembly areas

• Manually operated pallet trucks
• Electric pallet trucks
  • Low lift
  • High lift

Ergonomic advantages

• Reduced physical strain
• Faster, safer goods handling
• Fewer repetitive, strenuous movements
• User-friendly controls and stable movement

Manually operated pallet trucks (commonly known as “frogs”) are among the simplest and most widely used material handling devices. Thanks to their mechanical operation, they are reliable, require minimal maintenance, and can be used immediately.

They are most popular in the following areas

• small and medium-sized warehouses
• shops, department stores
• loading trucks
• occasional or low-intensity goods handling

Their ergonomic advantages

• simple, intuitive operation
• fine-tuned lifting and lowering
• stable, predictable movement
• ideal solution where no electric assistance is required

In this category, the HPT25 and TRP0003 models represent classic, reliable manual pallet truck solutions.

Electric pallet trucks are designed for fast and ergonomic handling of large quantities of goods. The electric drive significantly reduces the physical strain on the operator while increasing efficiency and operational safety.

Areas of application

• Large warehouses and logistics centers
• Internal material handling in production facilities
• Intensive, repetitive pallet handling tasks
• Multi-shift operation

Subtypes

• Low-lift electric pallet trucks
• High-lift electric pallet trucks

Ergonomic advantages

• Faster travel and lifting
• Reduced fatigue during longer shifts
• Precise controllability
• Safe, stable operation

Low-lift electric pallet trucks are primarily designed for horizontal goods handling. Their task is to transport pallets quickly and efficiently in warehouse or factory environments with minimal lifting height.

Areas of application

• long-distance goods handling
• in warehouses loading zones
• serving production lines
• preparation for order picking

Typical features

• electric drive for forward movement
• smooth, controlled lifting and lowering
• compact design

Ergonomic advantages

• Significantly reduces physical strain
• Enables faster, more efficient work
• Easy to handle even in confined spaces

This subcategory includes the Toyota LPE200, which offers a modern, reliable solution for everyday intensive pallet handling tasks.

High-lift electric pallet trucks are suitable not only for transporting pallets, but also for lifting and positioning them at greater heights. They form a transition between classic pallet trucks and forklifts.

Most popular areas of application

• shelf warehouses
• smaller high-bay warehouse operations
• material supply in production areas
• order picking, goods preparation
• practically anywhere where heavy loads need to be lifted and placed at height

Typical features

• Electric drive and lift
• Stable mast design
• Precise lifting positions

Ergonomic advantages

• Precise, safe lifting
• Reduced operator strain
• More efficient working in a racked environment

This category is represented by the Jungheinrich EJC M13 ZT 290 and EJC M13 ZT 330 models, which offer a reliable solution for higher-level pallet handling tasks.
