Product Overview
The ASPT American Spec Pallet Truck is designed for businesses that need a pallet truck capable of handling lower-clearance pallet formats without moving all the way down to a very low-profile pallet truck.
Standard manual pallet trucks commonly have a lowered fork height of around 85mm. For some American-style pallets, low-clearance pallets or mixed pallet operations, this can make pallet entry difficult or impossible. The Yank helps solve this issue with a reduced 75mm lowered fork height.
Combined with its wider 685mm fork spread and 2500KG capacity, this model is a strong choice for warehouses, distribution centres, factories and retail environments handling a variety of pallet types.
Why “The Yank”?
“The Yank” is designed for American-style pallet handling where a standard UK or Euro pallet truck may not always be the best fit.
Its 75mm lowered fork height gives better access to lower pallet openings, while the 1150 x 685mm fork size provides a wider base for pallets that need more fork spread than a standard Euro pallet truck.
- Designed for American-style pallet formats
- Useful for lower-clearance pallets
- Wider 685mm fork spread
- Strong 2500KG capacity
- Practical for sites handling mixed pallet types
75mm Low-Entry Fork Height
The main advantage of the ASPT is its 75mm lowered fork height. This gives the truck better pallet entry than standard 85mm pallet trucks when working with pallets that have reduced fork clearance.
This makes it a useful option for operations where standard pallet trucks are too high, but a specialist ultra-low-profile pallet truck may not be required.
- 75mm lowered fork height
- Designed for lower-clearance pallet entry
- Useful for American-style pallets
- Practical alternative to standard-height pallet trucks
Wide 1150 x 685mm Fork Size
The ASPT features a 1150mm fork length and 685mm overall fork width, giving it a wide fork format for supporting broader pallet bases.
This wider design is useful in warehouses and distribution centres where pallet formats can vary and extra fork spread is required for stable handling.
- 1150mm fork length
- 685mm overall fork width
- Suitable for wider pallet formats
- Improved support compared with narrow fork pallet trucks
2500KG Capacity for Heavy-Duty Handling
With a maximum load capacity of 2500KG, The Yank is suitable for a wide range of heavy pallet handling tasks across industrial, warehouse and logistics environments.
It gives operators the strength needed for daily pallet movement, while also offering the low-entry and wide-fork advantages required for more specialist pallet formats.
- 2500KG maximum load capacity
- Suitable for demanding warehouse use
- Ideal for moving heavy palletised goods
- Practical for manufacturing, logistics and distribution operations
Polyurethane Wheels & Tandem Load Rollers
The ASPT is fitted with polyurethane steer wheels and tandem polyurethane load rollers, offering smooth operation on suitable indoor floors.
Tandem load rollers help improve pallet entry and load distribution, especially when working with heavier loads or less forgiving pallet bases.
- Polyurethane steer wheels
- Tandem polyurethane load rollers
- Smooth rolling performance
- Helps reduce floor marking compared with harder wheel materials
- Well suited to warehouse and industrial floor surfaces
Is This the Right Pallet Truck for You?
Choose the ASPT American Spec Pallet Truck if you need a manual pallet truck for lower-clearance pallets, American-style pallet formats or wider pallet bases.
If you mainly handle standard Euro pallets, a standard 1150 x 550mm pallet truck may be more suitable. If your pallets are extremely low, Liftruck also offers specialist low-profile pallet trucks with even lower fork heights.
- Choose ASPT for American-style, lower-clearance or wider pallet formats
- Choose a standard pallet truck for everyday Euro pallet handling
