Product Information
Full details
Designed for warehouse managers and logistics professionals, The Ramp People Pallet Truck is built to facilitate the efficient movement of standard UK and EU pallets with a substantial 2,500kg load capacity. This heavy-duty tool excels in industrial settings thanks to its reinforced steel frame and high-performance hydraulic pump, though users should note that the nylon wheels are best suited for smooth, flat surfaces rather than uneven outdoor terrain.

FAQs
What is the maximum lift capacity?
This model is rated for a maximum load of 2,500kg.
Does it work with EU pallets?
Yes, the 1150mm x 550mm fork dimensions are compatible with standard UK and EU pallet sizes.
What is the benefit of nylon wheels?
Nylon wheels are extremely hardwearing, provide low rolling resistance, and are ideal for smooth warehouse floors.
Is this truck safe for industrial use?
Yes, it is CE marked, confirming it meets necessary safety and quality standards for workplace environments.
How do I lower the forks?
Use the trigger on the ergonomic handle to control the hydraulic lowering speed.
Why does this model have tandem wheels?
Tandem wheels distribute the weight more evenly, which provides better stability and reduces floor wear.
Troubleshooting
The pallet truck will not lift the load
Check if the load exceeds the 2,500kg capacity or ensure the control lever is fully engaged.
Hydraulics feel spongy or lose pressure
Check the hydraulic pump for leaks or air bubbles; perform a full handle pump cycle to purge air from the system.
Truck is difficult to steer
Inspect the nylon wheels for debris or obstructions and ensure the steering bearings are free of floor dust.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure peak performance, check the hydraulic fluid levels periodically and inspect the steering linkage for debris. This model is compatible with all standard UK and EU pallet sizes. When operating, always ensure the load is centered on the forks to maintain the stability provided by the tandem wheel design. Keep the unit stored in a dry environment to prevent corrosion of the steel frame. Periodic cleaning of the wheels is recommended to remove wrapped packaging tape or floor debris that could impede rotation.
