The Loadex stainless steel pallet truck is a 2,500 kg hand pallet truck built in stainless steel for hygiene sensitive and corrosive environments. Where a painted steel truck would rust or shed paint, stainless steel stands up to washdown and wet conditions.
Choose this truck for food and drink production, cold stores, dairies, fish processing, pharmaceutical clean areas and chemical plants, or anywhere that equipment must be regularly cleaned. In dry warehouses, a painted Loadex standard euro truck will do the same job at a fraction of the cost, so the stainless model is best kept for the areas that need it.

- Pump to raise just clear of the floor and move off steadily
- Take care on wet floors, moving slowly to keep control

Safety Information
- Never exceed the 2,500 kg capacity
- Take extra care on wet or icy floors common in washdown areas and cold stores
- Keep feet clear of the wheels
- Do not ride on the truck

Inspection and Maintenance
Check the truck before each shift for damage to the forks and wheels, and test that the hydraulics lift, hold and lower without leaks, particularly after washdown. PUWER 1998 requires it to be kept in efficient working order, and many sites include pallet trucks in a 12-month thorough examination schedule.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why choose a stainless steel pallet truck?
Stainless steel resists corrosion and has no paint finish to chip off, which matters in food, pharmaceutical and washdown areas.
Q: What capacity does it have?
2,500 kg, the same as the standard manual trucks.
Q: Can it be washed down?
Yes, it is intended for wet and washdown environments. Follow your site cleaning procedures and use cleaners compatible with stainless steel.
Q: Is it suitable for cold stores?
Stainless steel copes well with damp, chilled conditions where painted trucks tend to rust.
Q: Do I need stainless for a dry warehouse?
