EAP Lachnit manufactures stainless steel electric pallet trucks for use in sensitive areas







Electric pallet trucks are indispensable for the transport and handling of goods. Especially in the food, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries, as well as in cleanrooms or explosion-proof areas, numerous regulations must be observed. The German manufacturer EAP Lachnit specializes in the development and production of electric pallet trucks for such sensitive areas. Its floor conveyors made of stainless steel meet these specific requirements and are also characterized by high operational safety, low maintenance, and easy cleaning. Custom versions of the pallet trucks also handle special transport tasks.

The number of providers of electric pallet trucks is large. However, when specific requirements and legal regulations must be met for the transported goods, such as in food production, pharmaceutical and chemical industries, or in environments like cleanrooms or explosion-proof areas, the stainless steel electric pallet trucks from EAP Lachnit are the first choice. The floor conveyors from the well-established German manufacturer are considered extremely robust and powerful. Thanks to their size and technical design, they are very well suited for transporting euro pallets, big boxes, or multiple loading carts. The electric pallet trucks comply with the EU Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC and are marked with the CE symbol.

The electric pallet truck 411 K is suitable for simple yet quick loading and unloading of goods. And when it comes to transporting heavy loads over longer distances, the powerful electric pallet truck 412 K with a ride-on platform for the passenger is recommended. It features a fold-down ride-on platform and side safety arms. The construction of the electric pallet trucks is very robust. A torsion-resistant load frame with rounded fork ends ensures operator safety and gentle handling of the transported goods. Entry and exit rollers allow pallets to be easily picked up.

Safety comes first

Safety has also been considered: An overload protection and a gentle lowering valve are standard features. The pallet truck also has high stability thanks to a central wheel drive with a bevel gear. Thresholds can be easily overcome with these load carriers. Operation is via a safety steering tiller that contains all control and operation elements. In emergency situations, an emergency stop switch and a safety button with automatic reverse provide quick assistance. The performance data are convincing for many applications: The load capacity is 2,000 kilograms, and the lifting height is up to 205 millimeters (optional up to 300 millimeters). Thanks to the small turning radius of 1,600 millimeters, the pallet truck can turn in the tightest circles. A travel speed of 4 km/h allows for swift progress.

Custom versions are also available: For special transport requirements, such as transporting drums, EAP Lachnit offers the electric pallet truck 420 S. Another variant is available as a weighing pallet truck; with high-quality scales (optionally with radio connection and mobile printer), the transported goods can be weighed during transit.

Quick, thorough cleaning

Particularly in chemical, pharmaceutical, and food production, strict hygiene regulations apply. Floor conveyors must therefore be easy and thorough to clean. The stainless steel material used, with glass bead-blasted surfaces, enables this. The floor conveyors from EAP Lachnit are also protected against high humidity. For example, the switch is equipped with a rubber cover, and the controls, battery, and hydraulic unit are enclosed in a waterproof stainless steel housing that meets the IP66 protection class.
