Weighing Scale pallet Trucks available from Midland Pallet Trucks
This type of weighing scale is basically a pallet truck {also known as a pump truck}, which has an inbuilt measuring system {load Cell} that displays weight readings of the objects placed on it.
The weighing scale pallet truck has a rugid design and is based on a standard pallet truck but with an added weighing facility.
The goods are placed on the wooden pallet and this pallet is then lifted up to 250mm off the ground by the forks, of the pump truck. An LCD display unit records the combined weight of pallet and the goods. The weight of pallet, which is already known, is deducted from this combined weight to give the nett weight of the goods. This all can be done as the goods are moved from one place to the other in the factory or warehouse and is a great feature that saves time. The result is reduction in labour overheads and the resultant increase in the productivity of the firm.
The pallet truck scale can also have a printer facility attached which is battery driven in addition to the display read out.
Pallet truck scales are designed to weigh and measure heavy loads safely without compromising the safety of the workers and the accuracy of the weighing operation. This is a specialized machine that provides material handling solutions to large warehouses and manufacturing facilities where check weights of consignments is important. You can see pump trucks and pallet truck scales at our online pallet truck shop

Midland Pallet Trucks - Aerial work platforms
Expanding on their range of Handling Equipment, Midland Pallet Trucks now stock Aerial work Platforms.
Aerial Work Platforms are ideal for environments such as Warehouses, Factories, Distribution centres, Shops, Shopping centres, cinemas, Airports, Office complexes and public buildings including Hospitals and Schools.
These Mobile Aerial Work Platforms are also known as AWP's, electrically Powered Access Platforms, Aerial Platforms, or Cherry Pickers and have typical applications such as order picking, decorating, and electrical contract work such as changing bulbs or general maintenance work.
With a tight turning radius and compact size, it gives them maximum manoeuvrability making them ideal for difficult environments, such as between racking and in a crowded environment. These platforms can therefore be moved and operated by one person.
Using these units can replace the need of ladders, steps, kick stools allowing easier access to awkward places, fitting through standard doors and into lifts, whilst enabling the user to work safely and concentrate on the job.
Midland Pallet Trucks keep 3 size options in stock, all designed for a single person with a 240kg capacity. all units are supplied with a 12 month LOLER certificate to comply with all necessary regulations. They are supplied with an incorporated mains charger with battery charge indicator, a levelling indicator and outriggers.
These Aerial work platforms also come supplied with emergency down and stop buttons, with height adjustment at the touch of a button, so saving time and effort.

Manual Stackers and Pallet Lifters
Manual Stackers
When moving a fully loaded pallet an operator requires specialist pallet lifting equipment because of the heavy weights involved. Some pallets can be between 30-50kg when they are empty, and can be several tonnes when fully loaded. Needless to say it is impossible to move such loads by hand without a pallet lifter.
Thus, those who have to move the pallets need to look at various options with regard to proper lift equipment. In this they will need to choose between a few standard pieces of equipment.
A smaller size and more manoeuvrable pump truck is the first option. It is the simplest type of pallet lift equipment that you will come across. These pallet trucks are generally small and they allow users to manoeuvre in narrow spaces where movement is limited. Another consideration for your application will be the lift height required. If you are storing an item far off of the ground, on pallet racking or shelving, then a pallet truck will not work, but it will help you to move your load along smooth flat surfaces.
The second option in pallet lift equipment is the manual pallet stacker. There are several variations when it comes to self-propelled manual stackers. Stackers can lift your load to greater heights as compared to pallet trucks. Some of the semi-electric manual stackers are generally powered by batteries and some models even have built-in chargers to ensure that the stacker works optimally at all times.
There are straddle leg manual stackers, The reason for the straddle leg is that the manual stacker straddles the pallet and the legs of the stacker are outside the pallet while the forks are situated under the pallet to enable the lift. These are used on closed pallets where it is not possible to put the stacker legs under the pallet.
There are many different manual stackers available from Midland Pallet Trucks that raise the pallet to a height of 3 meters and can lift up to 1000 kg. There are fully manual models and also semi-electric manual stackers that can raise the load by using a battery powered electric motor.
The last or third option for pallet lift equipment is the forklift with capabilities to lift greater weights and heights than possible with the pallet stacker or pallet jack. Forklifts have the ability to reach high places but they are very expensive pieces of equipment and they require skilled staff that require training and a licence to operate them
The manual stacker truck is a cheaper option that requires less maintenance and can be operated by unskilled staff. Pallet trucks and pallet stackers can be just as manoeuvrable as a forklift truck.
Whichever type of pallet lift equipment that you use, you need to first address safety issues, the load size, the height to lift the load, the weight, and the space you have to manoeuvre in. Pallet stackers in particular require having weight capacity plates on them, which in turn must always be visible to whoever is operating the pallet lift equipment.
When buying any piece of equipment, especially a pallet lift, you need to ensure that the features fit in with your industrial requirements, space, and storage method. Having the right tool for the job is important and having the right pallet-moving machine can literally mean the difference between life and death for the worker that has to use it.
