I’ve worked in warehousing for eight years and managed a logistics park with over 300 employees. Last year, when the workshop was expanded, the old manual hydraulic carts simply couldn’t handle the increased volume from the new production line. Rows of cast-iron pallets were just set down on the floor, and workers winced as they struggled to move them. After the management approved the purchase of a 3-ton electric pallet truck, I chose the one from Guiyou Machinery. It’s been in operation for over six months now, and it has proven to be very reliable.

The 3-ton capacity was not chosen arbitrarily. The largest cast-iron pallet in our workshop can hold up to 2.6 tons; when you add the pallet’s own weight, 3 tons is right at the safety limit.
