How to choose a stainless steel pallet truck for food and pharmaceuticals?

Stainless Steel Pallet Truck has become a core tool to improve efficiency and safety in manufacturing, food processing, pharmaceutical and other industries that require strict hygiene and corrosion resistance. As a CE certified hand pallet truck supplier, we introduce how to choose a good stainless steel pallet truck from the perspectives of product advantages, applicable scenarios, and purchasing points.

Our hot selling stainless steel hand pallet truck model size:

• Rated load: 2000/2500/3000kg

• Minimum fork height: 75/85mm

• Fork length: 1150/1120mm

Why choose 316 material?

316L stainless steel, compared with ordinary 304 stainless steel, its added molybdenum element can resist chlorides, acid and alkali environment and seawater corrosion, especially for food processing plants, seafood freezers and other wet or high hygiene standards of the scene. Even if the surface is scratched due to frequent use, it can still avoid corrosion problems and prolong its service life.

The fully enclosed fork arm structure and weldless design eliminates dirt and bacterial residue, and supports direct rinsing with a high-pressure water jet, which meets the GMP and HACCP certification requirements of the pharmaceutical and medical industries. Some of the high-end models also provide Pharma Finish polishing process to ensure smooth surfaces without dead corners and reduce the risk of cross-contamination.

Equipped with ergonomic handles, non-slip pedals and a low center of gravity structure to reduce physical exertion and risk of workplace injuries during handling. Some models have an integrated touch screen and weighing function, also known as Pallet truck With Scale.

In which industry sectors are our stainless steel trucks used?

Food Processing and Cold Chain Logistics: Low temperature resistance and corrosion resistance for meat, dairy products and other environments that require frequent cleaning.

Pharmaceuticals and laboratories: high sterility requirements and FDA compliance.

Chemical & Electronics Manufacturing: Resistance to acid and alkali gases to avoid metal contamination.

Cleanroom & Aerospace: Low-dust design to safeguard transportation of precision components.

What should I consider when choosing?

Material certification: Confirm that the steel meets AISI 316L standards.

Cleaning compatibility: Choose an open bottom fork arm design for quick draining and sanitizing.

Functionality Expansion: Consider smart models if weighing and data management are required.

After-sales service: Choose a supplier that offers lifetime maintenance and parts support.
