Pallet Truck Chock or Pallet Truck Stop

The Pallet Truck Chock

Midland are pleased to announce the introduction of this new chock into our already extensive range of pump trucks and accessories

Having tried various styles and designs over the years we feel that this model offers the best of all designs, in that it is lightweight, hard wearing, functional, easy to use and is very competitively priced.

The pallet truck chock is engineered to hold a pump truck in place on a moving truck or trailer.

Key features

The chock is designed to ensure the pallet truck does not move and cause damage to the inside of vehicles or other road users.


It assists the driver, in that the pump truck does not have to be turned onto its side to prevent it rolling over.


It is easier for a driver to use the pallet truck chock than the old method of dropping the main wheels into a tire which often resulted in back injuries.


The chock will prevent other goods in transit being damaged by an unsecured pallet trucks.


The chock can also be used to hold a truck in position on an inclined surface thus preventing injury to the operator or work colleagues


The chock is durable enough to give long service in any harsh environment


These units are suited to any surface including none slip floors
Chocks are being sold to trucking and logistics companies. The truck driver simply pulls the pump truck into the stop and it is securely parked in seconds rather than struggling to lay it on its side or lift the wheels into an old tire.

The weight of the truck itself holds it in position in the chock. Pallet Truck chocks [also known as a Pallet Truck Stop] are now considered to be a mandatory piece of safety equipment for all vehicles that carry pump trucks and at just 3.5kg in weight it is something all drivers should carry with them.

There is no cheaper way to solve this potentially hazardous Health and Safety issue and the use of this device is easier and quicker than tying a truck down

The use of scissor lift tables

Scissor lift tables

Scissor lift tables, also called scissor lifts, platform lifts and lift table trucks have a simple use - to raise or lower a product on a platform. They make overhead tasks safer and more effective as well as helping to improve proper location of materials which helps avoid work related injuries. These tables are composed of three basic components, a platform, scissor legs and a lower frame assembly.

It allows operators to lift large amounts of weight easily and safely, reducing the risk of workplace injury. Platform lifts help reduce incidents of musculoskeletal disorders by positioning work and objects at a suitable height for operators. This simple concept is safe and reliable, which is why it is widely used in a number of different industries, including:

1. Wood working

2. Metal working

3. Paper, printing and publishing

4. Warehousing and distribution

5. Light assembly

6. Heavy machinery and transportation

Lift Tables are designed and built for a wide variety of uses and different industrial processes, including:

1. Work positioning in assembly operations and manufacturing

2. Load positioning (when integrated into conveyor systems)

3. Materials position in machine feeding applications

4. Pallet loading and unloading (usually for cartons of finished or unfinished goods)

Platform lifts are available with either a manual hydraulic pump action or an electric motor. In addition there are multiple stage scissor lifts (such as double or triple). Hydraulic lift tables use one or more hydraulic cylinders to move the platform up and down. Double stack two sets of scissor legs on top of each other while triple stack three sets of scissor legs on top of each other. It is the design of these multiple stage scissor lifts, which will raise the platform to larger heights. Therefore, this is an ideal choice for robotic integration and applications where operators may have to work underneath the product.

When purchasing a lift table there are a number of factors to take into consideration:

1. What quantity of loads do you want the lift table to handle?

2. Will you be using the table indoors or outdoors (or both)?

3. What weight will you need to lift up to?

4. What is the elevation, which the weight has to raise up to?

5 Is a double scissor lift table required

6. What environment will the machine be used in?

The benefits of using lift tables are numerous - they will make your workplace safer, more efficient and effective and reduce the risk of workplace injury, all excellent reasons to seriously consider investing in one of these units.

Assisting employers who believe in implementing workplace safety to avoid injury, Midland Pallet Trucks are experts in workplace safety solutions and provide a wide variety of products and applications like manual pallet lifters and pallet trucks to solve workplace safety needs.

Forklift Truck fork extensions

Forklift truck fork extensions

Forklift Truck fork extensions are a cheap and easy way of extending the forks on a forklift truck.

They can also make loading and unloading vehicles safer to the forklift truck driver and other manual workers, by ensuring that the forks extend under a load further makes the movement of the cargo more stable and safe

The attachments just slip over the standard forks and are secured by a steel loop that runs under the back of the original fork giving the fork extensions a cantilever effect that extend well beyond the original fork ends

Midland Pallet Trucks have been offering these fork accessories for several years.
