High Capacity Pallet Truck Vehicle Highlights:

This pallet truck is specifically designed to handle military cargo pallets, such as the HCU-6/E. It has a 10,000 lb capacity at a 54” load center. The vehicles 96” long pallet forks are ideal for handling the oversized cargo pallets with exceptional maneuverability and load stability to safely transport.

The forks are constructed out of formed steel channels, with thick outboard stiffener for improved rigidity and stability. The pull rod is designed to take the rigorous abuse of uneven flooring while continuing to lift and lower the heaviest loads.

The design offers a manual lever-activated spool valve allowing for variable lift and lower speed at the operator's control. In either AC or DC, this truck drives with mechanical or electric brakes. The motors provide unmatched power for quicker ramp up acceleration and the stopping requirement when transporting the heaviest of loads.
