Where hygiene is audited rather than assumed, 316 stainless is the specification. Mainframe, pump, handle, bearings, pins and chains are all stainless, with an easy-clean surface finish that will not harbour residue in weld seams or pivot points.
316 grade is chosen over the more common 304 for its resistance to chlorides — which matters in food processing, in coastal air, and anywhere chlorine-based sanitisers are in routine use.
Key Features
- 316 stainless throughout — mainframe, pump, handle, bearings, pins and chains
- Easy-clean surface — no crevices or seams to harbour residue
- Chrome-plated lift ram and valve — corrosion-resistant at the critical seal face
- Nickel-coated sealed pump — no atmosphere contaminates the hydraulic fluid
- Nylon rollers — non-marking and chemical-resistant

CE Marked | 12-Month On-Site Warranty
Supplied by Warrior, part of the Handling Equipment UK range. Manufactured to CE / UKCA standards and supplied with a declaration of conformity where applicable. Lift tables are issued with a test certificate to EN 1570 on request.
Warranty
Every Warrior product is supplied with a full 12-month on-site warranty covering parts and labour at no additional cost. Cover starts from the date of delivery and repairs are carried out at your premises rather than under a return-to-base arrangement. A comprehensive UK spare parts stock is held for every model in the range, and servicing, repair and statutory inspection can be arranged through WOLFF Onsite.
Suitable Applications
Food and beverage production, pharmaceutical and cleanroom environments, chemical handling, laboratories, and hygiene-audited storage areas.
How to Use
- Check the forks are fully lowered and the pump is in the neutral position.
- Enter the pallet squarely, driving the forks fully home so the load sits over both rollers.
- Set the trigger to raise and pump the handle until the pallet clears the floor by 20-30mm.
- Move the load at walking pace, pulling rather than pushing where possible for better steering control.
- Set the trigger to lower and release the load fully before withdrawing the forks.
Warning: Do not use abrasive pads or steel wool on the stainless surface — this embeds carbon steel particles which then corrode.
Safety Information
- Check the load is stable and evenly distributed across both forks before lifting.
- Do not ride on the truck or allow anyone to stand on the forks.
- Keep feet clear of the wheels and rollers when lowering.
- Inspect the hydraulic unit for leaks before each shift and withdraw from service if the ram creeps.
- Do not modify or weld any part of the chassis or forks.
Inspection and Maintenance
Clean with approved stainless-compatible detergents and dry thoroughly. Inspect welds and pivot points during routine hygiene checks. Otherwise inspect as a standard hand pallet truck.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why 316 rather than 304 stainless?
316 contains molybdenum, which gives markedly better resistance to chlorides — salt, seawater air and chlorine-based sanitisers. In food processing and coastal environments that difference matters.
Q: Can it be steam cleaned?
It can be washed and sanitised. Avoid directing steam or high-pressure jets straight at the pump seals.
Q: What cleaning products can I use?
Any detergent or sanitiser approved for use on 316 stainless. Avoid chloride-heavy products left in prolonged contact, and never use abrasive pads or steel wool.
Q: Will this truck fit a Euro pallet and a UK pallet?
Yes. The distance between the forks is 220mm, which accepts both Euro (1200 x 800mm) and standard UK (1200 x 1000mm) pallets. Choose the 540mm overall fork width for Euro pallets and the 685mm width for CHEP and other wide pallets.
Q: What fork length should I choose?
Match the fork length to your longest common pallet. 1150mm suits the majority of UK and Euro pallets. 1000mm suits shorter pallets and tighter turning circles; 1220mm gives full support under longer loads.
Q: Does a hand pallet truck need a LOLER inspection?
Hand pallet trucks are generally covered by PUWER rather than LOLER, as the load is carried rather than suspended. A documented periodic inspection regime is still expected. Contact us if you need this arranging alongside your other equipment.
