Electric Pump Trucks Introduced Across Palletways UK Operations
The company has invested £50,000 in new electric pallet pump trucks across its operations in Birmingham, London, and Edinburgh, boosting delivery capabilities as pallet volumes continue to grow, particularly in home and residential settings.
Supplied by SHS Handling Solutions, the new electric trucks support drivers in managing heavier loads, including tail-lift and kerbside deliveries. By expanding and modernising the fleet, the company aims to improve safety, efficiency, and reliability across its pallet delivery operations while maintaining high service standards for customers.
Residential pallet delivery can be physically demanding, especially in confined or hard-to-access locations. The battery-powered electric pump trucks reduce manual effort, lifting and moving pallets with ease while minimising physical strain and fatigue. Built-in safety features, such as controlled lifting, smooth acceleration, and braking, enhance stability and reduce the risk of injury, allowing drivers to operate more efficiently and safely.
This investment not only replaces older equipment but also ensures that a growing number of drivers have access to modern, reliable handling tools, reinforcing the company’s ongoing commitment to health and safety across its delivery network.
