Transpose the invention that changed the world

Beginning with the Industrial Revolution, since the end of the 19th century, traders and distributors had the same need: to transport products from one warehouse to another without compromising the quality of the goods. It was this need that led to the invention of the first forms of pallet trucks, in 1887. If today a pallet truck can handle hundreds of tons of cargo daily, well, at first, it could barely lift pallets a few centimeters above the ground and not even could move from one location to another.

The pallet trucks have been developed a long time since then, both in terms of design and functionality and performance. Pallet trucks have become increasingly used in factories and warehouses since the second half of the 20th century, due to the accelerated development of all industries. A pallet truck can handle a load weighing between 500 and 3500 kilograms.

These machines are designed in such a way as to provide maximum safety and increase the efficiency of the entire warehouse. To get an idea of ​​how things worked in the past, in the 1930s, it took about 72 hours to unpack a new car. Currently, it lasts about 18 times less, ie 4 hours. This speaks for itself of how much these machines have been developed and about the contribution they bring to deposits everywhere.

Today, pallet trucks are used in warehouses all over the world and with their help they operate all types of goods that arrive on the shelves of shops. Jungheinrich Romania offers both electric and manual pallet trucks. To see the full range of products, visit our website www.jungheinrich-shop.ro.
