PALLET TRUCK

We handle a lot of different pallets. What size forks recommend?  

1000mm long x 520mm over will handle the majority of pallets.  

 Some Pallets are 1200mm long x 800mm wide with entry on the narrow side only. Is this a problem?  

These are Euro pallets and are best handled with 1150mm long x 520mm over the forks but if you handle other pallets as well, you may find 1000mm long forks more useful.  

 We use blue pallets 1200mm x 1000mm with entry from all sides.  

The ideal specification is 1000mm x 680mm to give maximum stability but if you handle other sizes as well, try 520mm over the forks.  

 I can’t get my pallet truck under the pallet because the space underneath is too low. Is there such a thing as a low profile truck?  

Yes, standard trucks have a closed height of between 85mm and 90mm but 70mm closed height are available.   

 Special Equipment  

SS Pallet truck

    We use 100% stainless steel trucks because the conditions are so arduous but is there a cheaper alternative?  

Galvanised units offer good protection in many corrosive environments where the hygienic benefits of stainless steel are not required.  

 I need to manoeuvre cable drums. I believe there’s a special truck with triangular forks. Do you supply them?  

Yes. We need to know the minimum and maximum diameter and the maximum length and then we can quote.  

  We need to weigh pallets before they are despatched. Is there a method of doing this with the pallet truck?  

Yes. Weighing pallet trucks are a real time saver.  

 Wheel Equipment  

 The wheels of our trucks make a lot of noise particularly when travelling past the offices. Is there any way of making them quieter?  

Most pallet trucks have nylon wheels which wear well but can create a lot of noise. Try fitting a softer compound wheel ( Polyurethane Wheel) but remember that the softer they are the more force is required to pull them.  

 Our floors aren’t in very good condition and the small front wheels sometimes get stuck. Do I need a powered truck?  

Powered equipment may be the answer but if the floors are bad it may be better to repair them. Tandem load wheels will help ride small lumps and bumps.  

 The truck seems to stop dead when it hits a small object like a screw. Would softer wheels help?  

Yes but remember that the softer they are the more force is required to pull them.  

 Health and Safety  

There is a small gradient which we have to pull the trucks up and we’re concerned about the risk of injury to the operator. What can we do?  

Pulling a load up even a small gradient is not recommended. A gradient of 5% (1 in 20) needs about 4 times as much force as pulling the same load on the level. If you can’t avoid the slope, consider a powered unit.  

 We take a loaded truck down a slope. Is there a braking system available?  

Braking systems are available but we don’t recommend them for this operation as there is still likely to be excessive strain on the operators back.  

 How much force is required to pull a fully loaded pallet truck?  

Many factors need to be taken into account including the condition of the surface, the truck, the load weight etc. The only sure way is to measure it.  

 I’ve heard there’s a truck which helps to reduce the effort needed to start it moving. Is this true?  

Yes. Tests have shown substantial reductions in the starting force when pulling heavier load but it’s more expensive.  

 Maintenance  

 I can buy trucks quite cheaply so isn’t it better to just scrap them and buy new?  

On the face of it this seems quite sensible but is it really cheaper? Quality trucks should last several years providing they are well maintained and whilst they’ll probably need new wheels and bearings at some point; this is probably cheaper than regular replacement.  

 What is included in a service?  

 Details are available together with a fixed price menu for the more common repairs.  

 Our trucks work in a wet environment and whilst they last quite well, the wheel bearings keep seizing. What do you suggest?  

Try using stainless steel bearing and greasing them regularly  

 How do I know that you won’t repair trucks that aren’t worth repairing?  

Our engineers will assess the condition of the truck before carrying out any repairs. If it is not worth repairing we’ll recommend you scrap it.   

 We use our trucks in a cold store but they’re difficult to raise and lower. What do you suggest?  

Use oils and greases designed for use at low temperature.

Manual Handling

How to reduce manual handling injuries when handling drums? It is particularly relevant for people who work in manufacturing or agricultural industries, local government, garages, workshops, as distributors of petroleum products or paint supplies, or in other workplaces where drums are handled as part of the job.

What is manual handling?

In regards to handling drums, manual handling means lifting, lowering, pushing, pulling, carrying, moving or holding drums of all sizes. Tasks associated with drum handling may also be associated with other manual handling risks such as shelf stacking or moving trolleys.

Preventing manual handling injuries

Manual handling tasks likely to be a risk to workers’ health and safety should be identified and assessed in detail to determine the nature and the extent of the problems. Where a person’s health and safety is at risk, solutions to the problems need to be found in order to minimize the risk.

The following general problems and suggested solutions are examples of how manual handling injuries may occur when handling drums and how these can be reduced.

Problems

Strain injuries may occur when handling drums, where:

• Drums are stored in restricted spaces;
• Drums are difficult to grip;
• The drums are too heavy when other risk factors, such as the number of drums to be moved or the distance moved, are taken into account;
• Excessive force is required to manually up-end the drums;
• Excessive pushing and pulling forces are required to move the drums;
• Floor surfaces are slippery and/or uneven.
• Manual tilting
• Manual Palletizing

 Solutions  

Here are some ideas that may be suitable for your workplace. The examples provided may need to be used in combination with each other. Other risk control strategies, for example training, form part of any well thought out solution.

• Introduce bulk handling to eliminate the use of drums;
• Provide and use mechanical handling equipment e.g.: Drum Dollies, Drum Lifter, Drum Handler.
• Palletize the drums and use mechanical lifting; e.g.: Drum Palletizer.
• Use truck mounted hoists;
• Allocate sufficient space for handling the drums; e.g.: Drum storage racks
• Use a drum lifter; e.g.: Drum Dollies, Drum Lifter, Drum Handler
• Use a trolley;
• Ask your supplier to provide smaller sized drums;
• Provide unloading ramps;
• Provide and maintain even and non slip floors;
• Clean up floor spills immediately; and
• When team lifting is necessary, ensure a safe procedure is agreed and followed.
• Reduces spill potential
• Drums tightly sealed
• Drums labeled with necessary information
• Read and Understand MSDS for product before handling

In a 21^st. century Material handling products have now become the call of the day for a variety of industries as they improve workplace efficiency by supporting various material handling purposes including storage and transportation of materials in and around the location.

One such material handling product which can be used to reduce physical and manual workforce needed for carrying and transporting the manufactured products or the materials used for manufacturing purposes from one place to another is Hand Carts or Hand Trucks. Apart from eliminating the risk of physical injury, they also bring about maximum speed and efficiency in the workplace.

Hand Trucks and Hand Carts are cost-effective and efficient means used for transportation of heavy loads of materials from one location to another. Hand Trucks are generally used for transporting materials or products to some other nearest location in the warehouses. Two-wheeled ones are the most commonly used ones in the worksites. They are designed with easy to clean smooth surfaces, user-friendly grip handles and high loading capacity. Quiet casters and plastic constructions eliminate loud noise while in use. These are found in models of Hand Trucks, Platform Trucks Cradles, and more.

Material handling Hand Carts are basically used for storage and handling. Depending on the needs, they come in different sizes, finishes, colors and models like electric, luggage and utility Hand Carts. There are special garbage Hand Carts used for transporting waste materials that pile up in workplaces.

Material handling products ensure greater productivity and reduce extra expenses for your industry. They have now become indispensable ones in refineries, farm, warehouses, shipyards and other industrial centers.

It can be used for Handling of Boxes, Cartoons, Drums, Crates, Reels, Rolls, Equipments, Servers, Computers or any product or parts required to move or handle.
