Intended use

The pallet truck is intended for both manual lifting/lowering and the manual transporting of loads. Its use
requires a level and firm floor/ground surface.
The pallet truck, with forks for independent lifting of loads, is intended for on-site transporting of unit loads,
e.g. in warehouses associated with industry and delivery companies etc., for short range transporting of
standard and wire mesh pallets as well as other palletised loads.
It is not suitable for use in potentially explosive locations.
Use in hostile environments:
The stability of the materials concerning corrosion resistance and suitability is to be checked and
examined by the operator, in dependency of the contacts (aggressions, humidity, and ambient
temperature) and/or hygienic requirements (for example pure space conditions, lactic acid etc.).
The pallet truck INOX and GALINOX must be cleaned after each use and/or daily. A proper cleaning
with clear fresh water (hosed down) is required. This has to happen independently of the kind of the
aggressive medium.
