Pallet Transfer - Selecting a Pallet Truck

The choice of pallet truck depends on the pallet throughput per hour and the distance to be travelled. Obviously, pedestrian trucks are limited by the amount of walking an operator can reasonably be expected to do during a working shift. Whereas stand-on and seated rider versions extend the possibilities and increase productivity as show in the graph below.
