SUPERLIFT has expanded its Hercules Heavy Duty Electric Pallet Truck Series. It offers capacities from 3,629 to 15,876 kg (8,000 to 35,000 lb) for industrial applications where conventional pallet trucks do not provide the required capacity, fork geometry, durability or application-specific configuration.
SUPERLIFT designed the Hercules range to meet demanding load handling requirements rather than simply enlarging standard warehouse pallet trucks. The company can configure trucks with custom fork lengths and widths, application-specific battery packages and other engineered options for oversized, unusually heavy or difficult-to-handle loads.
Available capacities include 3,629, 4,536, 5,443, 6,804, 9,072, 11,340 and 15,876 kg. The range gives manufacturers and industrial operators an electric alternative for moving heavy tooling, machinery, steel products, dies, coils, large fabricated components and other loads that exceed the practical range of conventional pallet jacks.

“There is a significant gap between ordinary warehouse pallet trucks and much larger specialized transport equipment,” said Gerry Erwin, President of SUPERLIFT. “Our Hercules trucks are intended to fill that gap. We start with the load and the application. We then configure the capacity, forks, battery and controls around what the customer actually has to move.”
The Hercules series combines heavy-duty industrial steel construction with electric drive, braking and operator controls designed for continuous industrial service.
Depending on the application, configurations can include power-assisted steering, specialized fork dimensions, battery and charging packages, and engineered features for unique load profiles or operating environments.
The trucks support heavy manufacturing, steel processing, automotive and aerospace production, machinery manufacturing, distribution, paper and packaging operations. They also help data centres and other industrial facilities move loads that exceed standard pallet truck capacities.
SUPERLIFT also designs custom pallet trucks when an application cannot be solved with a standard catalogue model. That capability includes non-standard fork dimensions and load interfaces. This is as well as application-specific engineering intended to improve manoeuvrability, safety and productivity.
The Hercules Heavy-Duty Electric Pallet Truck Series is available internationally through SUPERLIFT and its distribution network. For product information or an application review.
