Why Do Hand Pallet Trucks Have Different Prices?
Th5
Hand pallet trucks come in a wide range of prices due to differences in quality, features, brand, load capacity, lifting height, and origin. Here are the main factors that affect their prices:
1. Load Capacity
1 ton, 2 tons, 2.5 tons, 3 tons…
→ The higher the capacity, the higher the price due to stronger frames, hydraulics, and wheels.
2. Material Quality & Durability
Thick frames, hardened steel, high-quality hydraulic cylinders → Higher cost but longer lifespan.
Cheaper models often use thin steel, are prone to damage, and may leak hydraulic oil.
3. Wheels
PU, Nylon… → Price varies by material.
-
PU: Smooth, ideal for epoxy floors.
-
Nylon: Harder, more affordable, suitable for dry environments.
4. Brand
Reputable brands like EP, AC, Niuli, Meditek, Bishamon (Japan) are more expensive.
European and Japanese imports cost more than local or OEM Chinese products.
5. Type of Hand Pallet Truck
- Standard low-lift pallet trucks: cheapest.
-
High-lift models, drum trucks, scissor-lift tables: more expensive due to more complex construction.
6. Accessories and Warranty
Some models feature:
-
Overload safety valves
-
Imported hydraulic pumps
