Reel Hydraulic Pallet Truck
- Optimized V-Profile Chassis: Securely cradles cylindrical loads with diameters ranging from 800mm to 1400mm (31.5 in to 55.1 in), preventing lateral shifting during transport.
- High-Capacity Hydraulic System: Delivers a lifting capacity up to 2500kg (5500 lbs), accommodating heavy paper rolls, textile bolts, or steel coils.
- Low-Profile Load Entry: Features sloped fork tips and a minimized ground clearance, facilitating manual roll positioning without mechanical assistance.
- Precision Steering: Equipped with 180 x 50mm (7.1 x 2.0 in) steering wheels for controlled maneuvering in tight warehouse aisles.
The HPL Series Reel Hydraulic Pallet Truck is engineered specifically for the safe transport of cylindrical loads in printing, textile, and manufacturing environments. Unlike standard flat-fork units, this specialized hydraulic pallet truck features a V-shaped chassis geometry designed to center and stabilize loads with diameters between 800mm (31.5 in) and 1400mm (55.1 in). Constructed from heavy-duty welded steel, it ensures structural rigidity under full load. The unit offers sloped fork tips, allowing operators to position rolls manually before engaging the hydraulic lift. With a typical load capacity of 2000kg – 2500kg (4400 – 5500 lbs), this equipment replaces manual handling of heavy reels, significantly reducing injury risk and improving throughput speed.

Performance
Geometric Load Stabilization (V-Shape Design)
The primary engineering advantage of this series is its specialized fork geometry. Standard flat forks pose a safety risk for cylindrical objects due to minimal contact surface area. This unit utilizes a V-shaped center profile that creates dual contact points for reels ranging from 800mm (31.5 in) to 1400mm (55.1 in) in diameter. This geometric cradle distributes the downward force evenly, preventing the load from rolling off during cornering or braking. This design eliminates the need for strapping in short-distance transfers, increasing operational efficiency.
Robust Hydraulic Lift & Chassis Construction
Designed for industrial durability, the chassis is fabricated from heavy-duty welded steel, ensuring it withstands the torsional stresses of heavy, concentrated loads. The integrated hydraulic pallet truck pump system provides reliable lifting power to raise heavy reels clear of the floor. The lift range is critical for ensuring sufficient ground clearance during transport over uneven expansion joints or debris, protecting both the sensitive surface of the roll materials (such as paper or film) and the warehouse floor.
Ergonomic Maneuverability & Entry
Efficiency in reel handling is defined by the ease of loading. The forks feature sloped ends at the critical entry points. This allows operators to roll materials directly into the V-cradle with minimal physical exertion. Once loaded, maneuverability is maintained via large 180 x 50mm (7.1 x 2.0 in) steering wheels and 80 x 70mm (3.15 x 2.76 in) load rollers. This wheel configuration minimizes rolling resistance and reduces the breakout force required to initiate movement, even when the truck is loaded to its full capacity.
Frequently Asked Questions
What should you never do when pulling a hand pallet truck?
You should never pull a hand pallet truck in crowded or narrow spaces, as it reduces visibility and control. Avoid pulling with sudden force, overloading the truck, or pulling at excessive speeds, which can cause injuries, collisions, or load instability. It is also unsafe to pull the truck around corners without checking for pedestrians or obstacles.
What is the difference between a pallet truck and an electric pallet truck?
A standard manual pallet truck relies on human power for lifting and moving, making it suitable for light-duty and short-distance tasks. An electric pallet truck uses a battery-powered motor for lifting and propulsion, reducing operator fatigue and increasing efficiency for heavier loads and longer distances. Electric models are faster and require less physical effort, while manual ones are more affordable and maintenance-free.
