Pallet trucks are everywhere: shop floors, loading bays, warehouses, hospitals, and back-of-house areas. But what do operators actually need in terms of certification or training to use them legally and safely? This guide covers hand (manual) pallet trucks, powered pallet trucks (PPTs), and ride-on/stand-on variants.

Automation isn’t about replacing people with robots. It’s about taking the strain out of repetitive work, removing avoidable errors, and keeping goods moving with fewer stoppages. For most warehouses, the biggest wins come from simple, sensible upgrades - powered handling equipment, better scanning, clearer layouts - long before you consider anything “high-tech”.

Meet the EP EXP15, the most affordable automatic pallet truck on the market – a true plug-and-play innovation that puts automation into the hands of more UK businesses than ever before. This isn’t a futuristic concept. It’s here, it’s practical, and it’s ready to transform your workflow from day one.
