What are STILL HPS / HPT hand pallet trucks used for?
In many warehouses, workshops and stores, the hand pallet truck is the first piece of equipment to touch a pallet: pulling goods off a lorry bed into the staging area, bringing materials to the line, taking stock out to the shop floor. The STILL HPS / HPT range is built for exactly those jobs, with lifting capacities from 1,000 kg to 3,000 kg and applications spanning production, retail, logistics service providers and workshops.
What sets a good hand pallet truck apart is not its function (every one pumps hydraulically and pulls a pallet) but frame durability, tiller feel and how well it rolls on real floors. HPS / HPT trucks use a torsionally rigid steel frame, powder-coated surfaces to limit wear, a large steering angle for tight spots and loading rollers under the fork tips that make crossways pallet entry easier.
Comparing HPS and HPT hand pallet truck models
The category holds one product but many configurations. The table follows the manufacturer's data; speed depends on the operator, so it is not listed.
| Model | Maximum capacity (kg) | Maximum lift height (mm) | Lift type |
|---|---|---|---|
| HPS 20 | 2,000 | 115 | Low lift, horizontal transport |
| HPS 20 W | 2,000 | 115 | Low lift, horizontal transport |
| HPS 25 | 2,500 | 115 | Low lift, horizontal transport |
| HPS 25 W | 2,500 | 115 | Low lift, horizontal transport |
| HPT 10 XM | 1,000 | 715 | Lifts to working height |
| HPT 10 XE | 1,000 | 715 | Lifts to working height |
| HPT 20 FL | 2,000 | 115 | Low lift, horizontal transport |
| HPT 25 / HPT 25 GA / HPT 25 ST | 2,500 | 115 | Low lift, horizontal transport |
| HPT 30 | 3,000 | 115 | Low lift, heavy loads |
The models fall into two groups. The low-lift group (HPS 20, HPS 25 and most HPT versions) simply raises the pallet off the floor to move it, and is chosen by capacity and fork size. The HPT 10 XM / XE has a scissor lift function that brings goods up to hand height so staff can pick or stack without bending – useful at packing benches, beside machines or at parts supply stations.
How to choose the right hand pallet truck for your site
Wrong choices rarely come from too little capacity; more often the forks do not match the pallet or the wheels do not suit the floor. Check in turn:
- Actual load: take the heaviest pallet you regularly move, add a safety margin, then choose the 2,000, 2,500 or 3,000 kg class. The method is explained in how to choose forklift capacity.
- Fork size: HPS / HPT come in various fork lengths and widths; measure the pallets you use (including those arriving from suppliers) before ordering.
- Wheels for the floor: epoxy floors, rough concrete or outdoor areas need different tyres to combine good grip with easy rolling.
- Ramps and lorry beds: if you regularly cross ramps, consider the optional operating and parking brake.
- Weighing: versions with a splash-proof scale display let you weigh goods while moving them, even outdoors.
- Working posture: where staff pick from a pallet many times per shift, a scissor lift truck such as the HPT 10 XM clearly reduces bending.
Hand pallet truck or electric pallet truck?
When the number of runs grows, distances get longer or lorry beds must be driven on and off all day, human effort becomes the limit. That is the time to look at the electric pallet truck category. The table below puts HPS / HPT next to two compact electric models often considered as replacements:
| Criterion | STILL HPS / HPT | STILL ECH 12C / 15C | STILL EXH 14C |
|---|---|---|---|
| Travel and lift power | Operator effort, hydraulic pump | Electric motor | Electric motor |
| Capacity (kg) | 1,000 – 3,000 | 1,200 / 1,500 | 1,400 |
| Lift height (mm) | 115 (HPT 10: 715) | 115 | 115 |
| Speed (km/h) | Set by operator | 4.5 | 5 |
| Battery | Not required | Lithium-ion 24 V, external charger | Lithium-ion 48 V, integrated charger |
The manufacturer positions the STILL ECH 12C / 15C as a direct replacement for a manual pallet jack, while the STILL EXH 14C suits occasional horizontal transport. A scenario-by-scenario analysis is in our article hand pallet truck vs electric pallet truck. Many companies keep both: electric trucks on the main routes, hand trucks as back-up and for low-traffic areas.
Operating and maintaining a hand pallet truck
A manual truck is simple, but it still needs regular checks: oil leaks at the hydraulic pump, wear on steer wheels and fork rollers, tiller pins and joints. Fitting the right wheels and seals keeps lifting force consistent and pulling light; TCID supplies genuine forklift parts for the HPS / HPT range. In use, never stand on the forks, never pull beyond capacity and always lower the forks fully when parking in an aisle.
Frequently asked questions
Can a hand pallet truck put goods on racking?
No. Low-lift models only raise the pallet off the floor to move it. The HPT 10 XM / XE lifts higher, but to create a comfortable working height, not to replace a stacking truck.
What is the difference between HPS and HPT?
The HPT range offers a wider spread of configurations, including a 3,000 kg version and the HPT 10 scissor lift version. Choose by load, pallet and required equipment.
Can I choose wheels to suit my floor?
Yes. HPS / HPT offer a wide range of wheel and roller options to suit floor conditions, giving good grip and easy rolling.
When should I switch to an electric truck?
When heavy pallets are moved many times per shift, over long distances or on ramps. Electric pallet trucks such as the ECH 12C / 15C greatly reduce operator effort on those routes.
