Pallet trucks move the heaviest loads a workshop handles without powered equipment: the hand hydraulic trucks that lift a pallet clear of the floor and roll tonnes across the yard on two forks and a pump handle. PartsForMachines supplies pallet trucks to the trade as an Authorised Distributor and Seller for Sealey and Draper, alongside the platform trolleys and handling equipment in the same Storage & Handling section.
The specification is short and unforgiving. Capacity comes first, with 2,000 to 2,500kg the standard band, rated honestly against the heaviest pallet the operation actually moves. Fork dimensions come second: length and overall width must match the pallets in use, UK and Euro pallet formats differ, and a mismatched truck rides pallets badly or not at all. Then the floor reality: wheel and roller materials, nylon rolling easily on smooth concrete, polyurethane quieter and kinder to finished floors, and the lowered and raised fork heights that decide whether the truck enters the operation's pallets at all. Each product page lists capacity, fork dimensions, heights and wheel materials, with Compare lining up trucks side by side and Ask Simon answering pallet-format questions.
The maintenance honesty: pallet trucks fail at the pump seals and the wheels, both serviceable, and a truck that creeps down under load or steers like a shopping trolley is asking for exactly that attention.
Platform trolleys and the wider handling range sit in the same section. For multi-truck or fleet requirements, contact the team via WhatsApp 07754288583.
