How to find the right stainless steel pallet truck

Stainless steel pallet trucks are exceptionally durable, resistant to corrosion, and impervious to moisture, acids, alkalis, and aggressive gases. We offer pallet trucks made of regular steel with hot-dip galvanisation, as well as various stainless steel grades. The resilient surface and easy-to-clean design allow for hygienic cleaning using high-pressure cleaners, which prevents the build-up of dirt and impurities.

As a result, these rust-free pallet trucks meet the highest hygiene standards and are perfect for companies that handle hazardous substances or have strict hygiene regulations to adhere to. Such companies include hospitals, clean rooms, laboratories, cold storage facilities, slaughterhouses, food processing plants, and pharmaceutical or chemical firms. With additional equipment, stainless steel pallet jacks can also be used in ESD or ATEX protection zones (Zone 1 and 2, as well as Zone 21 and 22).

At Jungheinrich PROFISHOP, you can purchase durable stainless steel pallet trucks in various designs, including hand pallet trucks, scissor lift pallet trucks and pallet trucks with scales.

Stainless steel pallet trucks are also known as: INOX Pallet Trucks, INOX Scissor Lift Pallet Trucks, INOX Hand Pallet Trucks, INOX Pallet Trucks with Scale

2. Choose stainless steel pallet trucks based on their materials

Compared to other pallet trucks, stainless steel pallet trucks have a markedly more robust surface that is less sensitive to environmental influences such as moisture or aggressive chemicals and can be thoroughly cleaned or even sterilised.

Our pallet truck models are available in different stainless steel grades to suit your needs. Each grade has a unique alloy composition – the proportions of metals such as chromium and nickel determine its corrosion resistance, durability and suitability for hygienic environments.

Not all pallet truck parts are always made of stainless steel. Our stainless steel pallet trucks are constructed with different proportions of stainless steel components depending on the models. It is important to note that the higher the stainless steel content, the more resistant the pallet trucks are to water, acids, alkalis or other aggressive or corrosive materials.

3. Compare stainless steel pallet truck’s lifting hydraulics

All of our stainless steel pallet trucks are equipped with a dependable hydraulic system that is used to lift and lower loads. Depending on the model and equipment, we offer the following:

  • Manual hydraulic stainless steel hand pallet truck: the forks are raised by pumping the handle and lowered using the hand lever. Quick lift models require fewer strokes, reduced for light loads of up to 120kg.
  • Electro-hydraulic stainless steel pallet truck: The forks are raised electrically with a push of a button. They are lowered via a hand lever, or electrically with a push of a button, depending on the model.

Please note: Top up the hydraulic oil regularly to keep the lifting hydraulic mechanism fully functional. In facilities where food or feed is processed, stored or distributed, use food grade H1 lubricant.
