Powered Pallet Truck Safely Moves Heavy Loads

The high-capacity Combi-PPT powered pallet truck from Combilift USA (Greensboro, NC) comes with standard lift capacities of 3,000 kg and 6,000 kg, with higher capacity models from 7,000 kg to 16,000 kg available on request. Its unique, patented multi-position tiller arm enables the operator to stand at the side of the unit, rather than at the rear (as is the case with other walk behind brands), giving them excellent visibility of even the bulkiest loads and their surroundings. The operator’s position also eliminates any possibility of crush risk when working in confined areas and prevents product damage. “With the introduction of this powered pallet truck, very heavy loads can now be handled using these walk-behind machines, ensuring high levels of safety while guaranteeing efficient procedures, even in confined spaces,” according to Martin McVicar, the managing director of Combilift. “We are seeing a growing demand for pedestrian trucks, driven by safety concerns where customers and/or employees are in the vicinity of operating forklifts. It is our intention to significantly expand our pedestrian forklift range with the Combi-PPT. This forklift offers safer operation, maximum operator visibility and narrow aisle performance.”

The Combi-PPT’s automatic folding platform is an added benefit for operators when large distances have to be covered in a warehouse or production plant. The power steering, dual rear-wheel drive and AC motor technology make it effortless and stress free for operators – it “glides” across the floor, even when moving very heavy loads and its maneuverability enables tight corners to be negotiated safely and with ease. A range of optional fork lengths, widths and configurations is available.
