PALLET TRUCK, PALLET JACK OR PUMP TRUCK, WHAT IS ALL OF THIS ABOUT?
While all of these names refer pretty much to the same product, the difference can be found in the detail. From an industry standard the word pallet truck is most precise to describe the product category itself.

Pump trucks refer more to manual hand pallet trucks without electric support for lifting or driving and can be seen as a sub-category or pallet jack / trucks.

HOW TO BUY THE RIGHT ELECTRIC PALLET TRUCK?
Every customer can buy the right electric pallet truck at Red Forklifts Pte Ltd and we are proud to offer such a large variety of electric pallet trucks for sale to fit the need for any application.
First of all you have to know what load carrier / weight you want to transport? EP offers electric pallet trucks for sale from 1000kg to 2000kg capacity. Another important aspect when buying your electric pallet trucks is the length of your load, as our pallet jacks can be delivered with different fork length and fork width.
The next question you have to answer is about the application of the truck. How do you use the machine? Is it mainly used indoor on flat surface? Or do you use the truck outdoor, uneven ground or for loading and unloading of HGV / lorries?
Another important question is about your charging habits and your requirements on the battery: If you want a light and low maintenance truck your choice will probably go for Li-Ion pallet trucks like our EPT 12EZ or a gel Battery truck liken the semi electric EPT 20-15EHJ / full electric truck EPT 20-15ET. Those trucks can be opportunity charged and do not require regular maintenance, water refill or special charging rooms. Depending on the technology, the charging time varies between 2 hours (Li-Ion) and 8-10 hours (Gel Battery). Another choice is the traditional, lead acid battery. This battery is much heavier compared to Gel or Li-Ion, but is still the industry standard in many areas. The lead acid battery is less energy efficient and needs 8-10 hours charging. You also need to refill the batteries with water. As these batteries release gas during charging, it is necessary to ensure ventilation or special charging rooms with lead acid batteries and potentially special floor coating in charging areas.
