Electric Pallet Truck Hire in Geelong
No forklift licence required — any team member can operate from day one
Geelong Access Hire offers both walk-behind (walkie) and ride-on electric pallet trucks for short and long-term hire. Walk-behind models are ideal for tighter spaces and shorter runs; ride-on models excel in large warehouses and distribution centres where operators are covering 10km+ per shift.
Order Picker Hire in Geelong
Low and high-level picking for warehouses and distribution centres
Unlike traditional forklifts, order pickers are designed for picking and assembly operations — faster, more precise, and more ergonomic for high-volume, repetitive pick tasks. We stock both lithium and lead-acid models to match your shift patterns and charging infrastructure.
Flexible Hire Terms — Short or Long

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about electric pallet jack and order picker hire in Geelong.
Most walk-behind electric pallet trucks and ride-on pallet trucks do not require a forklift licence in Victoria — they fall outside the definition of a forklift under the relevant regulations. However, a documented induction and safe operating procedure is still required. We'll confirm licence requirements for each specific model when you book.
A walkie (walk-behind) pallet truck is operated by a person walking behind it — ideal for tighter spaces and shorter distances. A ride-on pallet truck has a platform the operator stands or sits on, making it far more productive for long runs in large warehouses and distribution centres. If your operators are covering significant distances per shift, a ride-on reduces fatigue and increases throughput substantially.
An order picker lifts the operator to height, allowing them to pick items directly from racking. Unlike a pallet truck which stays at floor level, an order picker is designed for warehouses with multi-level racking where the operator needs to reach up to pick individual items. Low-level models go to around 1.4m; high-level models reach up to 10m for multi-tier picking operations.
Electric pallet trucks are suitable for warehouses of almost any size — from small stockrooms to large distribution centres. Walk-behind models work well in compact spaces with tight aisles. Ride-on models suit larger facilities with longer travel distances. The key factor is floor surface quality — electric pallet trucks require smooth, level floors, unlike rough-terrain forklifts.
Yes — electric pallet trucks are ideal for cold stores, cool rooms, food processing, and temperature-sensitive environments because they produce zero emissions and no exhaust fumes. This makes them a natural fit for enclosed food environments where internal combustion equipment is prohibited. For cold store use, confirm the battery type suits the operating temperature range when booking.
Yes. We can supply multiple machines to the same site and handle delivery coordination across the fleet. This suits large stocktakes, busy peak periods, and new facility setups where you need several machines operational from day one. Call us with your numbers and we'll confirm availability and arrange delivery together.
