Manual High Lift Double Piston

High Lift Pallet Truck 800mm Double Piston

  • Dual-Function Design: Combines a standard pallet jack with a scissor lift table, reaching a max height of 800mm (31.5 in) for ergonomic workflows.
  • Auto-Engaging Stabilizers: Rear supports automatically contact the floor when forks raise above 400mm (15.7 in), preventing unit movement during static work.
  • Double Piston Hydraulics: Specialized pump cylinder reduces the number of strokes required to reach full extension compared to single-piston models.
  • Versatile Load Handling: Available in 540mm (21.3 in) and 680mm (26.8 in) fork widths to accommodate both Euro and ISO pallet standards.

The HLT-D Series high lift pallet truck is a dual-purpose material handling solution designed to function as both a transport unit and a mobile work positioner. Engineered to mitigate operator fatigue, this unit lifts palletized loads from a lowered height of 85mm (3.3 in) to a maximum working height of 800mm (31.5 in), allowing operators to load or unload goods without repetitive bending. The chassis is built around a double-piston hydraulic system, which optimizes fluid displacement for rapid lifting. With a maximum load capacity of 1500kg (3300 lbs) and a service weight of up to 110kg (242 lbs), the HLT-D provides a rigid, stable platform for assembly line operations, parts machining, and distribution centers utilizing standard 1150mm (45.3 in) depth pallets.

Performance

Ergonomic Scissor Lift Mechanism

The core utility of the HLT-D series is its ability to transform from a transporter to a static workstation. By elevating the forks to 800mm (31.5 in), the operator brings the load center to an optimal ergonomic range. This utilizes a heavy-duty scissor structure comprising reinforced steel linkage arms. The system is rated for 1000kg (2200 lbs) or 1500kg (3300 lbs) depending on the model, ensuring zero structural deflection even at maximum extension. This capability directly reduces Lost Time Injury (LTI) rates associated with lumbar strain in high-frequency picking environments.

Integrated Stability Control System

Safety is paramount when elevating heavy loads. The HLT-D incorporates integral stabilizers linked directly to the scissor geometry. As the hydraulic ram extends and lifts the load, the rear stabilizers automatically deploy downward. Once the forks exceed a specific threshold (typically lifting the rear wheels off the ground), these stabilizers lock the unit in place via friction against the floor. This prevents the 1150mm (45.3 in) long forks from shifting laterally or the unit from rolling backward, effectively converting the mobile truck into a fixed workbench.

Optimized Hydraulic & Wheel Configuration

The hydraulic unit features a double-piston design, which significantly improves lifting efficiency. The 3-position hand control (Lift, Neutral, Lower) includes a “Fast Lift” mode for lighter loads, minimizing pump strokes. For mobility, the unit is equipped with Polyurethane (PU) or Nylon steering wheels and fork rollers. These compounds are selected to balance load-bearing capacity with rolling resistance. The chassis offers fork width options of 540mm (21.3 in) for narrow pallets or 680mm (26.8 in) for wider bases, ensuring the center of gravity remains between the structural beams during transport.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a high lift pallet truck?

A high lift pallet truck is a versatile material handling tool that combines the functions of a standard pallet truck and a lifting platform. It is designed to lift pallets or loads to a much higher height than a traditional pallet jack, making it suitable for short-distance transport, ergonomic working height adjustment, and light stacking tasks.

What is the structural design of high lift pallet truck?

The high lift pallet truck features a robust scissor-lift structure, heavy-duty steel forks, a hydraulic lifting system, stable load wheels, and a user-friendly control handle. Its scissor mechanism allows the forks to rise vertically to a high level while maintaining good stability. The frame is built for strength and durability to support safe lifting under rated capacity.

What are the performance features of high lift pallet truck?

High lift pallet trucks offer stable lifting, easy operation, and strong maneuverability in narrow spaces. They provide ergonomic benefits by reducing bending and lifting strain for operators. Key features include reliable hydraulic performance, low maintenance, high structural strength, and suitability for various working environments such as warehouses, workshops, and production lines.
