The new compact electric pallet truck - an ideal solution for lift gate and local delivery applications

The new Stärke PT40MXA compact electric pallet truck is an ideal solution for lift gate and local delivery applications.

With a carrying capacity of 4,000 lbs and a 24-volt AC motor, the new PT40MXA electric pallet truck from Stärke delivers the perfect fit for tight working environments.

Because it’s more compact than a regular powered pallet truck, the operator experiences easier maneuverability when working in loaded trailers. The maintenance-free batteries and on-board charger ensure continuous performance throughout the day.

“We’re seeing an upsurge in requests for compact pallet trucks across all industries as space becomes more and more valued in warehouses, distribution facilities and manufacturing sectors.” Says Jim Chesla, VP of Stärke Material Handling Group. “The PT40MXA was designed out of necessity for delivery trucks, retail and production facilities, but works well in general shipping and receiving applications also, where narrow aisles make for a better use of space.”

The PT40 AC motor’s brushless design removes the need for routine inspection and maintenance, while supplying further advantages such as low noise level, and short turning radius’.

“The Stärke Continuous Stability System reduces incidence of tipping while turning corners, or travelling on uneven surfaces.” Michael Poeltl, marketing and dealer development specialist adds, “This system includes a fixed drive wheel supported by two spring loaded castors, which are in constant contact with the ground; supporting the stability of the lift truck.”

This model will be available in May/June but will be offered to Stärke dealers in March for pre-order. With the ever-changing state of the materials handling industry, Stärke will forever be your beacon for adaptation.
