About the WPL201 Walkie Electric Pallet Truck
The WPL201 is a 2,000 kg capacity walkie electric pallet truck designed for efficient ground-level material movement in warehouses, distribution centres, and manufacturing facilities. Powered by a 24V lead-acid battery with an onboard single-phase charger, it operates quietly with zero emissions — making it well suited to indoor environments where internal combustion equipment is not appropriate. The machine's compact footprint and 1,295 mm turning radius allow it to manoeuvre in tight spaces that larger ride-on equipment cannot access.
This machine is best suited to horizontal transport of palletised loads across flat, sealed surfaces. The 200 mm lift height is sufficient to clear the ground and move loads between racking positions and staging areas, though it is not designed for high-lift storage — that function is better served by a reach truck or counterbalance. Typical hire customers include food and beverage manufacturers, logistics operators, cold-store facilities, and retail distribution businesses throughout the Geelong region who need a reliable, low-cost option for floor-level pallet movement.
Operators require minimal training to use the WPL201 effectively. The walk-behind tiller configuration gives direct, responsive control, and the polyurethane drive tyre provides good grip on smooth warehouse floors. The onboard charger means the unit can be plugged into any standard single-phase outlet overnight, avoiding the need for dedicated charging infrastructure.
Key Features
- 2,000 kg load capacity: Handles standard Australian pallet loads, including double-stacked product, without performance compromise on level surfaces.
- Onboard 24V–30A single-phase charger: Plug into a standard power point to recharge — no separate charging station or three-phase supply required, keeping setup costs low on short-term hires.
- Compact 720 mm overall width: Fits through standard doorways and between racking aisles, reducing the risk of product damage in congested warehouse environments.
- Polyurethane drive tyre / nylon load tyres: Polyurethane provides low rolling resistance and extended service life on sealed floors; nylon load tyres keep the fork profile low and durable.
- 6 km/h travel speed: Productive enough for busy warehouse floors while remaining safe in pedestrian environments — no licence required for walkie pallet truck operation under standard workplace classifications.
