A painted truck in a wash-down area starts rusting at the first chip. The WRZ20 is galvanised throughout the mainframe and forks, with a chrome-plated lift ram and a nickel-coated sealed pump, so there is no bare steel for moisture to find.
Sitting between a standard painted truck and full 316 stainless, it is the sensible specification for damp and humid environments — chilled storage, wash-down bays, coastal sites — where full stainless is more than the application needs.
Key Features
- Fully galvanised mainframe and forks — no bare steel exposed to moisture
- Chrome-plated hydraulic lift ram and valve — resists pitting and corrosion at the seal face
- Nickel-coated sealed pump — no atmosphere contaminates the hydraulic fluid
- Nylon rollers — non-marking and unaffected by wash-down chemicals
- Sealed bearings — protected against water ingress at the wheel and roller pivots

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
Chilled and cold storage, wash-down production areas, food processing support areas, coastal and marine sites, and any damp or humid environment where a painted truck would corrode.
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: Galvanised is corrosion-resistant, not corrosion-proof. For direct food contact areas or where aggressive cleaning chemicals are used, specify the 316 stainless model instead.
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
Rinse and dry after wash-down. Inspect the galvanised coating for damage and the ram for pitting. Otherwise inspect as a standard hand pallet truck.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Galvanised or full stainless — which do I need?
Galvanised suits damp, humid and chilled environments. Full 316 stainless is required where the truck is in a food or pharmaceutical production area, subject to aggressive chemical cleaning, or where a hygiene audit specifies stainless.
Q: Can it be pressure washed?
It can be washed down, but avoid directing a high-pressure jet at the pump seals or bearing housings. Rinse, then dry.
Q: Is it suitable for a food production area?
For support and storage areas, yes. For direct food contact zones the 316 stainless model is the correct specification.
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.
