What we will ask you before recommending a model
Scissor / high-lift pallet truck Standard selection — the parameters above are enough to choose the right model.
- Heaviest load including pallet, packaging and any attachment? Rule of thumb: use at most 80 % of rated capacity for safety and service life.
- Pallet type (open/closed bottom), forks, min/max height, manual or semi-electric lift, use as transport or as a work table? With forks raised it is not a transport pallet truck; stabilisers and pallet compatibility matter.
- What is the floor: industrial concrete, asphalt, paving, gravel, uneven, potholes, sharp edges, expansion joints, thresholds, drains? Small polyurethane wheels and no suspension: tolerance for unevenness is very low. Sharp edges cut the PU tread; gaps stop the small load rollers.
Typical mistakes to avoid
- With forks raised the machine is not a classic transport pallet truck — check stabilisation and pallet compatibility.

Scissor pallet trucks
One machine, two jobs: the RSV1000 high-lift pallet truck (1000 kg) moves pallets like a hand pallet truck and then scissors them up to ergonomic working height — a mobile work table wherever it is parked. A three-stage telescopic ram, automatic support legs and lateral stabilisers keep the raised load steady during picking, packing or assembly.
If the load stays at one station, a stationary hydraulic lift table carries more; for pure transport a hand pallet truck is cheaper. Contact us if you are unsure which fits your workflow.
Frequently asked questions
What is a scissor pallet truck for?
For work that alternates between moving and working on the pallet: it transports like a pallet truck, then lifts the pallet to working height so the operator picks or assembles without bending — no separate table needed.
Is it stable at full height?
Yes — automatic support legs and lateral stabilisers engage as the load rises, so the raised pallet stands on a stable base rather than on the wheels alone.
