Sealey - Hydraulic Platform Truck

• Moving ingredients or finished products within a food processing facility.
• Loading and unloading smaller equipment or components from delivery vehicles.
• Transporting goods between different workstations or storage areas.
• Assisting with ergonomic lifting to reduce manual handling strain.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, capacities commonly range from 150kg to 1000kg, with 400kg being a common mid-range capacity.

Platform dimensions

Platform sizes typically vary, but a common footprint for units of this type is around 500mm to 700mm in width and 900mm to 1200mm in length.

Lift height

Maximum lift heights commonly range from 800mm to 1500mm, suitable for loading onto benches or shelving.

Power supply

Hydraulic platform trucks are typically manually operated for lifting, with no external power supply required for the hydraulic pump. Some larger or more advanced models may feature battery-powered lift.

Construction material

Frames are typically constructed from robust steel, often with a powder-coated finish. For food processing applications, stainless steel versions are also available.

Mobility

Units typically feature swivel castors for manoeuvrability and fixed castors for stability, often with foot brakes for secure positioning.
