MAX Electric Pallet Truck 2000kg - 30Ah Lithium Battery Fast Charge

Who is this for

This semi-electric pallet truck is used by warehouse operatives, distribution teams, site stores managers, and logistics handlers who move heavy palletised loads continuously across flat surfaces throughout a working shift. It suits operations where a manual pallet truck creates excessive physical strain on repeated long runs, and where a fully electric alternative would represent over-specification for the load volumes and distances involved. The 30Ah battery and fast charge make it particularly suited to single and double-shift operations where the truck needs to be back in service quickly between charging cycles, and the 2000kg capacity covers the full weight range of dense commercial and construction material pallets.

Typical applications

• Transporting full pallets of bagged aggregate, cement, and building materials across a construction site stores or depot from delivery point to storage and working areas.

• Moving palletised boxed goods, equipment, and components across warehouse picking, storage, and dispatch areas throughout a single or double shift.

• Loading and unloading pallets from delivery vehicles in distribution centre loading bays where repeated heavy pallet runs are required across a full shift.

• Repositioning palletised stock in warehouse and stockroom environments where a manual truck would create manual handling strain on repeated runs at or near 2000kg.

• Moving roll cages in retail backroom, logistics, and distribution environments where the truck's roll cage compatibility provides additional operational flexibility.

• Plant hire and equipment depot stores management, moving palletised equipment, parts, and consumables between storage and dispatch areas.

• Facilities management operations where heavy palletised goods are moved regularly across flat hard floor surfaces in industrial and commercial buildings.

How to use

Step 1: Before operating, read the user manual in full. Only trained and authorised operatives may use this truck in compliance with PUWER 1998. Carry out a pre-shift visual inspection of the entire truck, including wheels, forks, brakes, and controls. Check the battery charge level on the OLED indicator.

Step 2: Insert the key and turn the key switch clockwise to power on. Set the directional control to neutral before moving.

Step 3: Insert the forks fully under the load, ensuring the load weight does not exceed 2000kg and is correctly positioned without side overhang. Use the lifting button to raise the forks to the transport height.

Step 4: Set the control handle to the travel zone. Use the accelerator knob for forward travel. Steer by applying the control handle left or right. Always carry loads in the forward direction of travel for maximum visibility.

Step 5: At the destination, drive carefully to the unloading position. Lower the forks using the lowering button until the fork arms are free from the pallet. Reverse away in a straight line, then raise the forks to mid-height for travel.

Step 6: When parking, lower the forks fully, turn the key switch off and remove the key, then press the emergency brake button. Do not park on an incline.

Step 7: When charging is required, park the truck securely in a well-ventilated area. Remove the battery using the quick-change system or connect the external charger to the standard 110-240V AC supply. Do not charge near flammable materials.

Reverse braking: 
The accelerator knob can be switched to the opposite direction during the driving process, and the pallet truck is braking through the reverse current until it begins to travel in the opposite direction. 

Warning:

When driving on a hill or uneven roads, please lift fork leg to prevent the bottom of fork leg and the ground from being rubbed. 

Common mistakes

• Operating without authorisation or training: PUWER 1998 requires that powered work equipment is used only by trained and authorised personnel. Operating this truck without the appropriate training and authorisation is both a legal non-compliance and a serious safety risk.

• Exceeding the 2000kg rated capacity: The rated capacity is a structural and safety limit, not a working target. Overloading creates a risk of load tipping, fork failure, and brake system overload. Always confirm the load weight against the data plate before lifting.

• Using rectified AC power instead of battery power: The manual explicitly states that rectified AC power will damage the electronic components. Only operate the truck on battery power.

• Parking on an incline: The manual prohibits parking on an incline. Always park on level ground with forks fully lowered, key removed, and emergency brake engaged.

• Charging near flammable materials: Never charge the battery in an area where flammable materials or operating fluids are present. Charge only in a closed, properly ventilated room.

• Allowing unauthorised personnel into the hazardous area: The hazardous area includes all areas within reach of the truck's movement, forks, and load. Unauthorised personnel must be kept clear at all times during operation.

• Overcharging or fully depleting the battery during break-in: During the first 100 hours of operation, charge when the battery shows above 30% remaining and limit loads to 70-80% of rated capacity to protect battery service life.

Safety

This truck must only be operated by trained and authorised personnel in compliance with the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER 1998). Where the truck is used for lifting operations, the Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998 (LOLER 1998) may also apply: consult a competent person to confirm the applicable inspection schedule and examination requirements. Safety footwear must be worn at all times when operating a pedestrian-controlled pallet truck. Never carry passengers or lift personnel on the forks. Never stand underneath a raised load handler. Do not use in areas at risk of fire, explosion, corrosion, or excessive dust. Do not exceed the 2000kg maximum rated capacity under any circumstances. Press the emergency brake button immediately if any unsafe condition arises during operation.

Maintenance

Carry out a pre-shift visual inspection of the truck before each use: wheels, forks, brakes, controls, and battery connections. The following maintenance schedule applies under single-shift normal operating conditions:

Weekly: visual checks and control function tests.
Every 500 hours: electrical and safety system inspection.
Every 1000 hours: full inspection.
Every 2000 hours: major service.

Reduce all intervals for operations involving extreme dust, temperature fluctuations, or multiple shifts. The truck must be inspected at least annually by a qualified inspector under PUWER 1998. All maintenance and electrical system work must be carried out by qualified and authorised personnel only. Do not carry out repairs or modifications without the necessary training and authorisation. Use only manufacturer-approved spare parts. Dispose of used battery packs in accordance with WEEE Regulations and local authority waste authority guidance.
