Product Overview

The LTPL Skid Lifter Range is designed for workplaces where palletised goods, skids or stillages need to be raised to a practical working height.

Standard pallet trucks keep loads close to floor level, which can force operators to bend repeatedly during packing, picking, loading or production work. The LTPL range helps solve this by raising suitable loads up to 830mm, allowing materials to be handled at a more comfortable height.

This makes the range ideal for assembly lines, production areas, packing stations, machine loading operations and general warehouse handling tasks where improved ergonomics and efficient load positioning are important.

Raise Pallets, Skids & Stillages to Working Height

The key advantage of the LTPL range is its ability to lift suitable open-base loads from floor level to an ergonomic working height.

This helps operators access goods more easily during repetitive handling tasks, improving comfort and reducing unnecessary bending or stretching.

• Raises loads from 85mm to 830mm
• Ideal for pallet height adjustment
• Useful for loading and unloading at workstations
• Helps reduce repetitive strain during handling tasks
• Suitable for production, assembly, packing and sorting areas

500KG & 1000KG Capacity Options

The LTPL range is available in two capacity ratings to suit different load weights and working requirements.

• 500KG Models – Suitable for lighter palletised goods, skids, stillages and production handling tasks
• 1000KG Models – Suitable for heavier-duty warehouse, assembly and industrial lifting applications

Standard & Wide Fork Configurations

The range includes both standard-width and wide-width versions, allowing you to choose the best configuration for your load size and handling requirements.

• Standard Width Models – 526mm fork width with 1115 x 538mm platform size
• Wide Width Models – 690mm fork width with 1115 x 703mm platform size
• 1115mm Fork Length – Consistent fork length across the range
• 85–830mm Lift Height – Same practical lift range across all models

Designed to Reduce Bending & Repetitive Strain

The LTPL range helps operators work at a safer and more comfortable level by raising loads closer to working height.

This is particularly useful in environments where pallets or skids are loaded, unloaded, picked from, sorted or worked on repeatedly throughout the day.

• Reduces bending during picking and packing
• Helps position loads for assembly work
• Useful for repetitive production tasks
• Supports more ergonomic machine feeding and loading

Suitable for Open-Base Pallets, Stillages & Skids

The LTPL Skid Lifter Range is suitable for open-base pallets, stillages and skids where the forks and scissor mechanism can operate correctly.

These units are not compatible with closed-bottom pallets. If you are handling UK blue pallets, GKN pallets, CHEP-style pallets or other closed-bottom pallet designs, please contact Liftruck for advice on a suitable straddle stacker or alternative handling solution.

Typical Applications

• Assembly lines and production areas
• Packing, picking and sorting stations
• Machine feeding and loading operations
• Pallet height adjustment for ergonomic handling
• Open-bottom pallet handling
• Stillage and skid positioning
• General warehouse lifting tasks
• Industrial load positioning

Safety & Handling

The stable scissor-lift structure helps maintain load support throughout the lifting range, while the ergonomic working height helps reduce fatigue during repetitive loading operations.

Always ensure the load is stable, evenly distributed, within the rated capacity of the selected model and suitable for the skid lifter before use.
