When pallet movement is repetitive but space, pallet geometry and operator control still matter, the right question is not simply “How much can the truck lift?” The practical question is whether the truck matches the load center, pallet base, route, ramp and working rhythm. The EPT15Q, EPT20Q and EPT30Q series is designed around that decision.

The Handling Requirement

Powered pallet movement without unnecessary equipment complexity

In a warehouse, distribution center, factory or retail backroom, operators may move pallets between storage, replenishment points, staging areas and loading docks through many start-stop cycles. A manual hand pallet jack can require too much physical effort, while a larger forklift may be unsuitable for narrow routes or light-duty internal movement.

The EPT series provides a powered alternative in a compact walkie-truck format. The EPT15Q, EPT20Q and EPT30Q cover rated capacities from 1,500 kg to 3,000 kg. The supplied specification sheet lists a 600 mm load center distance for all three models, giving purchasing teams a clear starting point for matching rated capacity with the actual load.

LOAD

Capacity by application

Choose 1,500 kg, 2,000 kg or 3,000 kg according to the maximum pallet weight and confirmed load center.

ROUTE

Compact route planning

A 1,393 mm turning radius and listed aisle-width references support layout review before purchase.

CONTROL

Precise low-speed work

The smart handle and creep-speed button are intended for controlled positioning near racks, docks and other loads.

DUTY

Repeated daily movement

Powered travel, low-lift hydraulics and polyurethane wheels support routine horizontal pallet transport.

Product Lineup

Three capacity classes on one electric pallet truck family

The correct model should be selected from the actual load profile, not from capacity alone. Confirm the pallet weight, load center, entry openings and site route before issuing a final order.

Operator Control and Safety

Designed for positioning close to loads and other traffic

The supplied images show an upgraded smart handle with a water-resistant design, emergency stop and power-cut protection. The product copy also describes a damping gas spring that helps the long handle return smoothly to its upright position.

The integrated creep-speed button is relevant to aisle ends, dock staging and congested backroom areas. It allows ultra-slow travel when an operator needs to position the truck precisely. The materials also identify an anti-rollback system, steering wheel guard and electromagnetic service braking in the specification sheet. These features support controlled operation but do not replace site training, pedestrian separation or a workplace risk assessment.

Creep-speed control

Useful for low-speed positioning around racks, pallets, dock edges and nearby personnel.

Protected steering area

A steering wheel guard is shown as part of the operator protection design.

Application Fit

Where the EPT series fits the material flow

Warehousing

Replenishment and staging

Move pallets between storage, staging and work areas through planned internal routes.

Logistics

Loading platform transitions

Use the powered truck for dock and inclined-surface work where the rated gradeability is suitable.

Manufacturing

Raw material movement

Support repeated transfers of raw materials and finished goods across factory floors.

Retail

Backroom handling

Keep pallet movement powered and controlled in supermarket or retail backroom operations.

Pallet check

Single-face pallets only

Nine-leg and stringer pallets are identified as compatible; block and double-face pallets are not.

Wheel system

PU wheel stability

Swivel and fixed dual polyurethane wheels support steering and load distribution.

Procurement Checklist

Five questions to answer before you buy

1

What is the maximum pallet weight?

Include the pallet and confirm the real load center. Select the 1,500 kg, 2,000 kg or 3,000 kg class only after checking the application profile.
2

What pallet base must the forks enter?

Confirm that the site uses a compatible single-face pallet and compare entry openings with the 50 x 160 x 1,150 mm fork dimensions.
3

What are the tightest aisle and turning points?

Use the listed 1,393 mm turning radius and aisle-width references as planning inputs, then verify the actual layout on site.
4

Will the route include a ramp or dock transition?

All three models are listed at 6% gradeability when laden and 10% when unladen. Confirm the real slope, surface and load before operation.
5

Which battery configuration matches the duty cycle?

The supplied materials describe maintenance-free battery operation and list a 48 V/20 Ah lithium-ion option for the EPT20Q. Confirm the final configuration in the quotation.

FAQ
