  • Pallet Truck

    A motorized pallet truck that can come in both walk behind and ride-on configurations. Typically the walk behind versions use SEM motor technology while the ride-on versions use AC technology. Both versions normally utilize a "combi" controller, which contains the traction and hoist control in one physical package. The higher capacity trucks use either steer-by-wire or torque assisted steering to aid the operator.
  • Stacker

    This truck is a pallet truck with masted forks to allow for higher lift heights. For this reason, they require higher power hoist controllers; although, they still use a similar type of "combi" controller as their pallet truck counterparts. The combi controller combines the traction and hoist controllers into one physical package. The higher capacity trucks use either steer-by-wire or torque assisted steering to aid the operator.
