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 a sturdy stainless steel pallet truck in the following variations:
- Hand pallet truck
- Scissor lift truck
- Weighing pallet truck
Stainless Steel Pallet Trucks are also known as: INOX Pallet Truck, INOX Scissor Pallet Truck, INOX Hand Pallet Truck, INOX Hand Fork Pallet Truck, INOX Cradle Pallet Truck
1. Material qualities
Compared to other pallet trucks, stainless steel pallet trucks have a much more robust surface that is less sensitive to environmental influences such as moisture or aggressive chemicals and can be thoroughly cleaned or even sterilized.
Depending on the application and model, we offer the pallet truck in different stainless steel qualities: The mixture of different metals – mostly steel and an alloy in different mass proportions – offers certain properties and values depending on the version.
In addition, depending on the design, our stainless steel pallet lifting trucks contain different stainless steel components of varying sizes. In general, the higher the proportion of stainless steel, the more resistant the pallet truck is to moisture, moisture, acids, alkalis or other aggressive materials.
Stainless Steel Quality
- Increased resistance to corrosion and moisture
- If surface damage such as cracks or dents occur, the base material is not protected against corrosion and moisture
- Suitable for outdoor use regardless of weather conditions
- Suitable for humid environments such as food markets or fruit-growing operations
- NOT recommended for areas with high hygiene requirements
- The chassis, drawbar, axles, and wheel holders are made of stainless steel
- Individual components have a polymer plastic coating, are hot-dip galvanized, or treated with chromite
- Corrosion-resistant and resistant to most chemicals and cleaning agents
- Optimal for humid work environments and for all work areas with high requirements for hygiene and intensive cleaning, such as in the food, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries
- Made 100% of stainless steel
- Corrosion-resistant and resistant to acids, alkalis, chlorine, and aggressive cleaning agents
- Resistant to pitting corrosion
- Corrosion-resistant when scratched
- For aggressive operating environments and the highest demands for hygiene and cleaning in the chemical, pharmaceutical, and food industries.
2. Lift 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 with the load carrier are raised by manual pump strokes and lowered using the hand lever. For models with quick lift, the number of tiller hits is reduced for light loads of up to 100 or 120kg.
- Electro-hydraulic stainless steel pallet truck: With these models, the load carrier is raised electrically with a push of a button, lowered via a hand lever, or also electrically with a push of a button (depending on the model).
Please note: In order to ensure that the lifting hydraulics remain fully functional, hydraulic oil must be regularly topped up. For stainless steel pallet trucks used in facilities where food or feed is processed, stored or distributed, a food grade H1 lubricant is the appropriate choice.
