There are many different types of material handling equipment and machinery that are designed to help you in the smooth running of your businesses. Sometimes it can be a little confusing and somewhat overwhelming to know exactly what the right type of equipment is needed to be able to lift, move and store boxes and goods safely.<\/p>\n
Below we explore exactly what a pallet truck is, where it can be used, the benefits of using a ride-on and we take a closer look on EP range.<\/p>\n
The manual pallet truck is operated via a handle that lifts and lowers the fork. This type of pallet truck is usually used for lifting small amounts of pallets, or in a small warehouse.<\/p>\n
The ride-on pallet truck is far superior as it can cover a greater distance, lift heavier weights, so many more pallets can be lifted at any one time, and it can reach higher levels than a manual pallet truck. Therefore if you need to move and stack large amounts of pallets in a large warehouse environment, then you really need a ride-on pallet truck to do this job for you.<\/p>\n
Any employee who operates a ride-on pallet truck will need the training to do so safely. This training needs to comply with the safety standards set by PUWER (Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations) plus following the Approved Code of Practice (ACOP) L117, that is aimed at those who are involved in any type of lift truck operation, including site operators of rice on pellet trucks.<\/p>\n
EP Equipment is a well established and leading manufacturer of electric pallet trucks and ride-on pallet trucks.<\/p>\n
The\u00a0RPL-201 and RPL- 201H<\/a>\u00a0from EP are ride-on pallet trucks that both have a Li-Ion battery. These machines have electric power steering and are quick to charge and use.<\/p>\n
The RPL-201 range has been built for speed and efficiency. These high-speed ride-on trucks can reach a speed of up to 5.5km\/hr, helping to increase productivity.<\/p>\n
These machines are heavy duty and designed to lift and move heavy loads safely. The RPL-201 is able to lift a maximum of 2000kg.<\/p>\n
The RPL-201 ride-on pallet truck comes with li-ion battery technology. The battery will fully charge in around two and a half hours. When using the pallet truck all the time and wanting to minimize downtime, this becomes a big advantage.<\/p>\n
These electric ride-on pallet trucks are high speed, are able to quickly charge and are versatile because they can be used in narrow spaces. This ability to work anywhere in the warehouse space alongside the fact that they can be quickly charged, while moving at speed can only help to improve productivity.<\/p>\n
These EP ride-on pallet trucks offer the user greater visibility while operating the machine. This increased visibility allows the operator to manoeuvre down narrow aisles with ease and to travel across a vast warehouse floor safely, as all obstacles can be clearly seen. It also means that lifting and lowering loads is also much safer.<\/p>\n
These EP ride on lift trucks are incredibly robust and durable. They are able to lift and relocate heavy loads, which many other types of ride-on pallet trucks simply cannot do. So, if you have a particularly heavy workload then the EP ride-on pallet truck will help you.<\/p>\n
Finally, many warehouses opt to use an EP ride-on pallet truck instead of a forklift truck. This is because they are more affordable, are quicker to achieve a full charge, come in high-speed options and can be adapted for use in confined spaces.<\/p>\n
We are able to offer you a wide range of ride-on pallet trucks by EP to help you with your everyday warehouse tasks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
