ground clearance of pallet trucks

Problems with low ground clearance

Small bumps in and on the floor can quickly cause industrial trucks with low ground clearance to come to a stop. This is particularly difficult in places where, for example, a ramp turns into a straight line or where there are drive-over plates and door thresholds on the floor. These kinks in loading and access ramps quickly become an obstacle for vehicles with low ground clearance.

• The ongoing work process is stopped and time losses must be expected.
• The vehicle operator can injure himself because the pallet truck hits the ground and comes to an abrupt stop.
• There may be delays in delivery and in the work process because an alternative must first be found to load the goods into or out of the truck.
• The pallet truck may be damaged by contact with the ground.

Before purchasing a pallet truck, you should consider whether a pallet truck with a conventional ground clearance is sufficient for daily use in the warehouse, industry, etc. or whether you should opt for a model that offers more ground clearance.

high lift truck with plenty of ground clearance

In these situations, special high lift trucks with more ground clearance, also known as double-decker trucks , provide a solution. This allows obstacles such as bends in the slope to be avoided. An electric high lift truck with initial lift enables the effortless driving over loading bridges, drive-over plates and door thresholds with an increased ground clearance of 26 mm in the front wheel arm area. This guarantees problem-free and rapid transport and loading and unloading on ramps as well as on uneven storage areas.

Advantages of the electric high lift truck with initial lift

• Ground clearance (m2) with 26mm: Makes it easier to drive over door sills and loading bridges
• Maximum lifting height up to 3.3m: Ideal for loading work or working in high racks
• Initial lift function from 120mm: Enables the goods to be maneuvered even with low ceiling heights
• Duplex mast: The mast height can be doubled
• Powerful battery: With a capacity of 105Ah, ideal for long use in warehouses etc.
