Pallet Truck Hire & Trucks

The final point to choosing the right pallet truck is its maximum load capacity. Most standard pallet trucks have a weight capacity of 1500-2000kg. However, heavy-duty options are available for environments where hefty loads are constantly handled and have a maximum load of 3000kg.

Maximum load limits are there for a reason; even the most hardwearing hand pallet trucks usually have a maximum capacity of between 1500kg – 2000kg. Overloading a pallet truck can cause it to overbalance or malfunction, creating problems not only for the operator using the truck but also to any surrounding staff members.

When lighting construction sites, it is important to keep light spillage to a minimum. If the construction site is particularly close to residential properties and busy roads, light spillage must be avoided as it can cause distraction. So, where you’re able to, ensure lighting is affecting surrounding areas as little as possible.
