The Loadex long pallet truck has extra-long forks for loads that a standard truck cannot support along their length. It carries up to 2,000 kg.
Long forks let you move two pallets end to end in one trip, or carry long items such as boards, doors, panels and lengths of material on a long pallet or skid. The capacity is lower than the 2,500 kg standard trucks, which is normal for long fork trucks, so check the combined weight when moving two pallets together. For standard single pallets, the Loadex standard euro truck is the better fit.
Key Features
- Extra-long forks — support long loads and pallets carried end to end
- 2,000 kg capacity — rated for the combined load across the full fork length
- Fewer trips — move two pallets in one go where the weight allows
- Manual operation — hand pumped lift and push-pull travel
- Long load handling — suits panels, boards and long skids

Suitable Applications
Timber and panel merchants, door and window manufacturers, furniture makers, steel and plastics stockholders, warehouses double-handling pallets, and exhibition and events logistics.
How to Use
- Check the total load, including both pallets if carrying two, is within 2,000 kg
- Spread the load evenly along the forks
- Enter squarely and slowly, making sure the fork tips are clear of obstacles
- Pump to lift just clear of the floor and move off steadily
- Take wide turns to allow for the extra length, and lower fully before withdrawing
Safety Information
- Never exceed the 2,000 kg capacity
- Remember the fork tips extend well beyond the operator's line of sight
- Allow extra room for turning in aisles and doorways
- Keep to smooth, level floors
- Do not concentrate a heavy load at the fork tips
Inspection and Maintenance
Before use check the forks for bending along their length, inspect the wheels and rollers, and test that the hydraulics raise and hold the load evenly. Under PUWER 1998 the truck must be maintained in good working order, with many sites adding pallet trucks to their 12-month thorough examination list.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why is the capacity 2,000 kg rather than 2,500 kg?
Longer forks spread the load over a greater length, so long trucks are typically rated lower than standard ones. Always keep within the 2,000 kg rating.
Q: Can I move two pallets at once?
Yes, the long forks are designed to carry loads end to end, provided the combined weight is within 2,000 kg.
Q: What long loads suit it?
Panels, boards, doors and long skids that would overhang a standard truck.
Q: Is it harder to manoeuvre?
The extra length needs wider turns, so allow more room in aisles and doorways.
Q: Is it powered?
No, it is a manual truck with hand pumped lift.
Q: Should I buy a long truck instead of a standard one?
Only if you regularly move long loads or double pallets. For single standard pallets, the standard euro truck is easier to handle and carries 2,500 kg.
