TorkkaWe sell across Europe from our warehouse in Portugal. Transport is at the customer’s expense and quoted separately by the carrier. EU companies with a valid intra-Community VAT number: invoice without VAT.
What it is for
Light and compact: according to UN, they fit in goods lifts, and the battery lifts out from the top, so a second one can be swapped in to work longer.
Who it is for
- Shops, warehouses and hauliers that move pallets at floor level.
- Anyone still using a hand pallet truck who wants to spare the operator the effort.
Electric or hand pallet truck?
A hand pallet truck is moved by the operator's strength. An electric one has a drive motor: the operator walks alongside and steers by the tiller. The choice depends on distances, pallets per day, floor and ramps.
| Hand pallet truck | Electric pallet truck | |
|---|---|---|
| How it moves | Pushed and pulled by hand | Electric motor; the operator walks and steers by the tiller |
| When it is enough | Short runs, level floors and a few pallets a day | Long runs, many pallets a day, loading and unloading trucks |
| Ramps and loading bays | Hard work with a load | Check the maximum gradient UN gives for the model in the quote |
| Power | None | Battery to charge; according to UN, it lifts out from the top and can be swapped for a second one |
| Price | Lower to buy | UN SL15L3 from €960 excl. VAT |
We do not supply hand pallet trucks: UN does not list them in its product catalogue.
When to move from hand to electric
- The operator makes many trips a day with heavy pallets, or complains about the effort.
- There are ramps, loading bays or long runs between the truck and the warehouse.
- You need light equipment for goods lifts: according to UN, the SL models fit in them.
For stacking pallets on racking, a pallet truck is not enough: see the electric pallet stacker. For bigger loads or outdoor work, the electric forklifts, priced by series. Whoever drives it needs training suited to the equipment: see forklift licence and training course (PT).

Electric or hand pallet truck: which one?
A hand pallet truck is enough for short runs, level floors and a few pallets a day. With long runs, many pallets, truck loading and unloading or ramps, the electric one saves the operator effort.
Can an electric pallet truck lift a pallet onto racking?
No: it moves pallets at floor level. To stack on racking, see the electric pallet stacker.
Can the electric pallet truck battery be swapped?
According to UN, the battery lifts out from the top, so you can swap it for a second one and keep working. The battery (24 V or 48 V, 20 to 60 Ah) is specified in the quote.
