What is an electric pallet truck (EPT)?
An EPT is an electrically powered pallet truck designed for horizontal transport of pallets. Unlike a hand pallet truck, an EPT uses an electric motor for driving and lifting, minimizing lifting and pushing.
There are different versions, such as pedestrian models where the driver walks behind the truck, and passenger models With a driver's platform or cab for longer distances.
