Slim and agile: electric pallet trucks
Classic pallet trucks are used for many transport tasks in hazardous areas and clean rooms. EAP Lachnit also offers special versions for such applications: The 411 K electric pallet truck is suitable for the simple but rapid loading and unloading of goods. And if heavy loads need to be transported over longer distances, the powerful 412 K electric pallet truck with a driver’s platform is the ideal solution. The structure of the electric pallet truck is very robust. A warp-resistant load frame with round fork ends allows the goods to be handled carefully. Rollers that drive in and out ensure that pallets can be picked up easily. Overload protection and a gentle lowering valve are integrated as standard. The pallet trucks exhibit a high degree of stability thanks to a central drive with bevel gearing and offer a high level of driving comfort, thresholds can also be overcome without any problems. It is operated via a safety steering drawbar with control and operating elements. For emergencies, the electric pallet truck is equipped with an emergency stop switch and a safety button with automatic return. The maximum load capacity is 3,000 kg, and it has a lifting height of up to 205 mm (optionally up to 300 mm). Thanks to a small turning radius of 1,600 mm, the pallet trucks are very manoeuvrable. A travel speed of 4 km/h allows you to get around quickly.
For use in sensitive areas or in environments with a high degree of humidity, the key switch is fitted with a rubber cover, and the control unit, battery and hydraulic unit are encased in a waterproof stainless-steel housing that meets IP67 protection. The material used, stainless steel (1.4301/ V2A/AISI 304), as well as the glass bead-blasted surface, enable easy and thorough cleaning. The electric pallet truck is in compliance with EC Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC and has the CE marking.
For conveying tasks that require a higher lift, the electric forklift type 422 is the right choice. With a load capacity of 1,250 kg, it is powerful and offers a wide range of applications. A large steering angle and full mobility to both sides make the pallet truck very manoeuvrable; the bevel gear drive also ensures a high degree of stability.
