Warehouse trucks: pallet trucks, stackers and reach trucks: product group

Warehouse trucks move pallets inside the building — from goods-in to the rack, from the rack to the picking area and on to the loading door. Unlike counterbalance forklifts built for yards, this class is designed for a flat concrete floor, a narrow aisle and work right up against the racking.

What this equipment is for

A powered pallet truck carries loads at floor level over long distances and speeds up unloading a trailer. A stacker lifts pallets to the second and third beam level. A reach truck, thanks to its telescoping mast, reaches 8–11 metres and works in an aisle of roughly 2.5 metres. An order picker raises the operator together with the load so that piece picking needs no ladders. A real warehouse usually runs several of these classes side by side.

How to choose

• Aisle width and top beam height — these two dimensions decide the class of truck more than anything else.
• Shift pattern: two or three shifts call for a lithium-ion battery or a swappable battery pack.
• Average load weight and pallet type (Euro, industrial, plastic or slip-sheet).
• Floor condition: potholes, drainage channels and broken concrete limit work at height.
• Special conditions: cold stores, dust and food production each need a dedicated build.

What DepoHub offers

We measure the layout and aisle widths on site, show which class fits, source new and used models from the catalog, and then handle commissioning, operator training, maintenance and spare parts.
