Manual High Lift Single Piston

High Lift Pallet Truck 800mm Single Piston

  • Integrated Load Retention: Features a fixed 850mm (33.5 in) steel backrest to prevent cargo fallback during transport or elevation.
  • Active Stability System: Automatic shear-legs deploy when forks raise, anchoring the chassis for static work at 800mm (31.5 in).
  • Optimized Hydraulic Geometry: Single-piston design minimizes seal wear points while delivering a consistent 1500kg (3306 lbs) lift force.
  • Precision Maneuverability: Equipped with a 180° steering arc for tight navigation in narrow aisles or congested packing zones.

The HLT Series high lift pallet truck is a dual-function material handling solution engineered to serve as both a standard pallet transporter and a height-adjustable workstation. Designed for assembly lines and high-throughput packing zones, this unit mitigates operator fatigue by utilizing a robust single-piston hydraulic system to raise loads up to 800mm (31.5 in). This specific model distinguishes itself with an integrated 850mm (33.5 in) steel backrest, providing critical load stability for taller pallet stacks. The chassis supports a maximum Safe Working Load (SWL) of 1500kg (3306 lbs) and features an automatic braking mechanism that engages when lifted, ensuring rigid structural integrity during stationary operations.

Performance

Single-Piston Hydraulic Architecture

Unlike complex telescopic cylinders that introduce multiple failure points, the HLT Series utilizes a heavy-duty single-piston design to achieve its 800mm (31.5 in) stroke. This engineering choice reduces the number of high-pressure seals required, significantly lowering the risk of hydraulic fluid bypass or leakage. The system is calibrated to lift the full 1500kg (3306 lbs) capacity with consistent pressure, ensuring the forks remain static without “creep” or drift during prolonged ergonomic loading operations.

Enhanced Cargo Safety & Stability

This unit is specifically engineered for handling unstable or tall loads thanks to the inclusion of a 850mm (33.5 in) vertical backrest. This structural addition acts as a physical barrier, preventing loose boxes or unshrink-wrapped goods from falling backward onto the operator or the hydraulic housing. Furthermore, the chassis features automatic stabilizers that deploy as the fork height exceeds the transport threshold, mechanically grounding the unit and preventing lateral tipping when the center of gravity is elevated.

Ergonomic Geometry & Maneuverability

To maximize operational efficiency in confined spaces, the steering column allows for a full 180° turning arc, enabling the unit to be positioned precisely against conveyor belts or workbenches. The lifting mechanism allows operators to maintain the top of the pallet at the optimal waist-height level of 800mm (31.5 in), eliminating the need for repetitive bending. The system runs on low-resistance rollers requiring minimal breakaway force to initiate movement, even when loaded to the 1500kg (3306 lbs) capacity.

Frequently Asked Questions

How to Choose the Appropriate Lifting Height for a High Lift Pallet Truck Based on Actual Needs?

To choose the right lifting height for a high lift pallet truck, start by measuring your actual working environment and tasks. First, confirm the maximum height you need to lift pallets, workpieces, or goods for stacking, ergonomic working positions, or transfer operations. Then consider your rack shelf height, platform height, and any obstacles in aisles. It is recommended to select a model with a lifting height slightly higher than your actual demand to ensure safe and flexible operation. Avoid overbuying excessive lifting height that reduces stability and increases cost. Match the lifting height to your real workflow for better efficiency and safety.

What is the difference between a high lift and a pallet jack?

The main difference is lifting height and function. A standard pallet jack only lifts pallets slightly off the ground for transport, while a high lift can raise loads much higher for stacking and racking. High lifts are built for vertical lifting and storage, whereas pallet jacks focus mainly on horizontal movement. High lifts also have a stronger structure to support elevated loads.
