Landscaping & nurseries
Plant nurseries, tree farms and garden centres, where the ground between the yard and the truck is rarely flat.
2–3× pallets per hour vs manual Manual pallet trucks ≈5–10 pallets/h; powered units ≈15–25 on the same route.
- What has to move
- Potted stock and trayed saplings on pallets, moved from growing beds to the loading bay, often over soil and gravel.
- What changes
- Pneumatic tyres and a sealed drive keep the truck moving on soft ground, so a pallet goes out on the forks instead of being hand-loaded twice — once onto a trolley, once onto the truck.
