The UK’s leading materials handling company, Linde Material Handling has launched a revolutionary new hand pallet truck incorporating a brake. The new model, Pro Brake, is capable of lifting loads up to 2,500kg providing a safer, more productive alternative in manual handling.
The effort involved moving the Pro Brake from stationary is one sixth of that compared to a similar machine without a brake fitted. The unique ‘easy start’ mechanism overcomes the initial inertia of a stationary truck, enabling the operator to get the laden machine moving quickly and effortlessly with no risk of a back injury.
The Pro Brake is extremely easy to use, a unique parking brake gives the operator absolute control of the truck, vital when handling heavy loads and with no danger of overrunning, especially important when operating on ramps. Small ground irregularities can be negotiated easily with minimal effort due to the unique design.
Jana Vitkova, Warehouse Product Manager for Linde Material Handling commented ‘The Pro Brake will have a big impact in many applications, contributing to safer, more productive manual handling.’
Linde Material Handling (UK) is the UK’s leader in materials handling with a network of national network companies operating from 20 locations throughout the UK. Over 800 factory-trained service engineers operate from these regional centres providing an efficient and effective local response to customer needs.
