Frequently Asked Questions
There is no official license or qualification required to legally operate a pallet truck. However, it is sensible to take a basic training course or demonstration before using a pallet truck. A course like this will help you can operate the pallet truck safely while helping to prevent injuries or accidents that might occur from misuse of the truck.
All Pallet Trucks, no matter how high they lift their payload off the ground, are classed in the UK as PUWER equipment. PUWER stands for ‘Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations’ and covers all machinery, tools, and equipment used in a workplace. These regulations ensure proper installation, use and maintenance of equipment.
A PUWER inspection is performed to assess the safety of the pallet truck. Each piece of equipment must be inspected at least once a year by a competent person. It is up to the “responsible person” in any workplace to ensure this happens – this is usually the owner or employer. Failure to perform a PUWER inspection can result in fines or legal actions and increases the risk of accidents and injuries.
Most Pallet Trucks do not need a LOLER inspection – only trucks that lift their payload higher than 300mm require a LOLER inspection. LOLER stands for ‘Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations’ and they set out and enforce the annual inspection of lifting equipment. If you do have equipment that lifts higher than 300mm, such as a high lift pallet truck, these will require a LOLER inspection.
A Pallet Truck is a piece of equipment used to lift and move pallets. They are typically used within warehouses or indoor depots for the movement of pallet-laden goods within the confines of the building. A Pallet Truck, also known as a Pump Truck, works by lifting the pallet off the ground using a hydraulic lifting system.
