PRINTERS PALLET TRUCK - 800 X 550MM - PTRPT
Printers Pallet Truck – 2500KG Compact Pallet Truck (PTRPT)
The PTRPT Printers Pallet Truck is a compact, heavy-duty manual pallet truck designed for handling smaller pallets, printer’s pallets, stillages and compact loads where a standard 1150mm pallet truck may be too long.
Think of the PTRPT as the shorter, more compact little brother of the PMPT Pallet Mover. It still offers a strong 2500KG capacity and a 550mm overall fork width, but with shorter 800mm forks for improved manoeuvrability in tight spaces.
Built with a high-quality sealed pump unit, strengthened fork tips, drop forged lift cradles and solid steel adjustable push rods, the PTRPT is designed for reliable daily use in printing, warehousing, retail and industrial environments.
Key Features
- 2500KG Load Capacity – Strong capacity for compact pallet and stillage handling
- 800 x 550mm Fork Size – Shorter forks for improved manoeuvrability in tight areas
- Compact Alternative to the PMPT – Ideal where the standard 1150mm Pallet Mover is too long
- High-Quality Sealed Pump Unit – Smooth hydraulic lifting with reduced maintenance requirements
- Strengthened Fork Tips – Designed for durability when entering pallets and stillages
- Drop Forged Lift Cradles – Provides strength and stability during lifting operations
- Heavy-Duty Handle – Comfortable, strong and practical for daily workplace use
- 3-Position Control Lever – Simple lift, lower and neutral operation
- 210-Degree Steering Arc – Excellent manoeuvrability in confined spaces
- Nylon Wheels – Durable wheel setup for smooth warehouse and industrial floors
Product Overview
The PTRPT Printers Pallet Truck is designed for operations that need the strength of a heavy-duty pallet truck but with a shorter fork length for compact loads.
Standard pallet trucks with 1150mm forks are ideal for Euro pallets, but they can be too long when handling smaller pallets, print industry pallets, stillages or loads in confined areas. The PTRPT solves this problem by offering a shorter 800mm fork length while still maintaining a strong 2500KG load capacity.
This makes it a practical choice for print businesses, warehouses, stockrooms, production areas and retail environments where compact pallet handling is required.
The Compact Little Brother of the PMPT
If the PMPT Pallet Mover is your standard everyday Euro pallet truck, the PTRPT is its shorter, more compact little brother.
It offers the same straightforward manual pallet truck operation but with 800mm forks instead of 1150mm forks. This makes it easier to use in tighter working areas and more suitable for smaller pallets or compact loads.
- Shorter 800mm forks for compact pallet handling
- Still offers a strong 2500KG capacity
- 550mm overall fork width
- Ideal where standard pallet trucks are too long
- Perfect for smaller pallets, stillages and printing industry applications
800mm Fork Length for Smaller Pallets
The 800mm fork length makes this pallet truck especially useful for handling smaller pallets and stillages that do not require full-length 1150mm forks.
Shorter forks can also make the truck easier to position in tight spaces, around machinery, in stockrooms and in areas where turning space is limited.
- 800mm fork length
- 550mm overall fork width
- Designed for compact pallets and smaller loads
- Useful for tight areas and restricted spaces
Ideal for Printers’ Pallets & Compact Loads
The PTRPT is commonly referred to as a printer’s pallet truck because it is well suited to smaller pallets and stillages often used in print and production environments.
Its compact fork length helps operators move materials more easily around presses, machinery, storage areas and production workspaces.
- Suitable for smaller printer’s pallets
- Useful around print machinery and production areas
- Ideal for compact stillages and smaller palletised goods
- Practical for stockrooms and tight warehouse spaces
Built for Reliable Daily Use
The PTRPT is built with a rugged all-steel construction and heavy-duty components designed to withstand regular workplace use.
Its sealed pump unit, strengthened fork tips, drop forged lift cradles and adjustable push rods help provide long-term reliability in demanding material handling environments.
- Rugged all-steel construction
- High-quality sealed pump unit
- Strengthened fork tips
- Drop forged lift cradles
- Solid steel adjustable push rods
- Designed for long-term warehouse and industrial use
Smooth Manual Hydraulic Operation
The PTRPT uses a simple manual hydraulic lifting system with a heavy-duty handle and 3-position control lever. Operators can lift, lower and travel in neutral using familiar pallet truck controls.
- Manual hydraulic lift operation
- 3-position control lever
- Lift, lower and neutral functions
- Comfortable heavy-duty handle
- Smooth and controlled pallet placement
Excellent Manoeuvrability in Confined Spaces
The shorter fork length and 210-degree steering arc help make the PTRPT highly manoeuvrable when working in confined areas.
This is particularly useful in print rooms, retail stockrooms, production areas and warehouses where space around pallets, machinery or shelving may be limited.
- Compact 800mm fork length
- 210-degree steering arc
- Easy to position around compact loads
- Useful where standard pallet trucks feel too long

Is the PTRPT the Right Pallet Truck for You?
Choose the PTRPT if you need a compact pallet truck with shorter forks for small pallets, stillages or restricted areas.

- Choose PTRPT for smaller pallets and compact loads
- Choose PMPT for standard Euro pallet handling
- Choose PMPT-W for wider pallets and CHEP-style applications
