About the RPL20 PRO Centre Rider Pallet Truck (Lithium)
The RPL20 PRO is a heavy-duty centre rider electric pallet truck with a 3,600 kg load capacity, built on a PRO series chassis for sustained use in high-throughput warehouse and logistics environments. Unlike pedestrian-operated walkie stackers, the centre-mounted stand-on platform lets the operator ride with the load, reducing fatigue on long shifts and improving throughput on extended runs across large floor areas. Powered by a 48V lithium-ion battery, the machine charges quickly between shifts and holds charge efficiently across a full working day without the maintenance demands of a wet-cell lead-acid system.
This machine suits operations where heavy pallets need to be moved repeatedly across significant distances — for example, a large cold-store facility, a distribution centre receiving dock, or a busy manufacturing floor. The 3,600 kg capacity handles the heaviest standard pallets comfortably, including double-stacked goods, dense building materials, and full pallets of bagged product. The 12 km/h travel speed keeps pace with busy operations without sacrificing control.
Businesses across the Geelong region regularly hire the RPL20 PRO for peak periods, fit-outs, and short-term production surges. It is a practical hire option when a permanent purchase cannot be justified, when an existing machine is undergoing service, or when a site temporarily requires additional powered pallet-moving capacity.
Key Features
- 3,600 kg rated load capacity: One of the higher-capacity centre rider pallet trucks in its class, suited to handling the heaviest standard pallets without approaching rated limits.
- 48V lithium-ion battery: Opportunity-charge compatible — top up during breaks without damaging the battery. No acid maintenance, no watering schedule, and significantly lower long-term running costs than lead-acid alternatives.
- 12 km/h travel speed with regenerative braking: Productive travel speed across large floor areas, with regenerative braking recovering energy on deceleration and contributing to battery runtime, backed by electromagnetic braking for controlled stops.
- Centre-mounted stand-on operator platform: Positions the operator centrally rather than at the rear, improving forward visibility, reducing body fatigue on extended shifts, and keeping the machine compact in the operating aisle.
- PRO series heavy-duty chassis: Reinforced frame construction for sustained commercial use, not light-duty or intermittent applications — appropriate for operations running the machine across full working days.
