The Bernardo HHK 800 RL heavy-duty manual pallet jack is designed for manual handling and lifting of loads on pallets. It offers an 800 kg capacity, a minimum fork height of 90 mm, a maximum lifting height of 940 mm, a fork length of 1150 mm, and a fork width of 150 mm. The fork tilt is 20° / 20° (left/right), the free fork width is 240 mm, and it features a manual parking brake and manual operation. Overall dimensions are 1,640 × 750 × 1,320 mm, and it weighs 197 kg. It is suitable for small to medium-sized warehouses, workshops, and depots without electrical power for motorized forklifts.

Who uses the HHK 800 RL and for what
The Bernardo HHK 800 RL is a heavy-duty manual pallet jack with lever-operated hydraulic lift. The difference from a standard pallet truck: a pallet truck has limited lift (115-200 mm) for horizontal movement; the HHK pallet jack has an extended lift (940 mm) for storage on low to medium shelving. HHK features: entirely manual, no electrical power or battery, no recharging or battery replacement costs. The HHK 800 RL model has a distinctive feature: tiltable forks to the right and left (±20°). This function is essential for handling unbalanced loads, positioning on inclined surfaces, and fine-tuning pallet orientation during storage. Maximum lift 940 mm with an 800 kg capacity for storage on standard single-level shelving above ground. In Krollit customer workshops, the HHK is chosen by warehouses without access to industrial three-phase current, remote workshops, temporary depots on construction sites, and applications where the cost of an electric forklift (€3,000-€10,000) is not justified.
Its place in the range
The Bernardo HHK range of heavy-duty manual pallet jacks includes 2 models with distinct features: HHK 1000 (1,000 kg capacity, 290 mm height, 800 mm forks, 173 kg weight) for handling heavy loads over short distances without high-level storage; HHK 800 RL (800 kg capacity, 940 mm height, 1,150 mm forks, ±20° fork tilt, 197 kg weight) for storage on low shelving with angular fork adjustment.
The HHK 800 RL model trades capacity (800 kg vs 1,000 kg for the HHK 1000) for greater height (940 mm vs 290 mm) and the fork tilt function. For lifting onto shelves up to 940 mm, this is the correct choice. For higher capacity with limited height, the HHK 1000 is the correct choice. For electric applications with greater heights (over 1 m), move up to the EHS/EDS family.
Krollit logistics and support
Bernardo shipping in 5-9 working days (7 days for Southern Italy). The HHK 800 RL, weighing 197 kg, is shipped on a pallet, with overall dimensions of 1,640 × 750 × 1,320 mm. As it is a manual pallet jack, it does not have batteries or motors subject to wear: spare parts are limited to wheels, brake, and hydraulic pump lever. Original Bernardo spare parts are available from stock with 3-5 working days shipping. Customer support available in Italian.

| Profile |
Compatibility |
Reason |
| Hobbyist with home warehouse |
Suitable |
Economical manual pallet jack with no need for electrical power. 940 mm lift and fork tilt for standard shelving. |
| Craftsman's workshop with low shelving |
Recommended |
800 kg capacity and 940 mm height for storage on single-level shelving above ground. ±20° fork tilt for positioning on inclined surfaces. |
| Remote workshop without electrical power |
Recommended |
Completely manual operation without batteries or motors. Maximum reliability in contexts without industrial three-phase electrical power. |
Not suitable for: capacities over 800 kg (the HHK 1000 with 1,000 kg capacity but limited height of 290 mm is the choice for higher capacities); storage at heights above 940 mm (EHS or EDS stackers are correctly sized); intensive continuous use (electric pallet jacks have superior operating cycles).

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between HHK 1000 and HHK 800 RL?
HHK 1000: 1,000 kg capacity, 290 mm height, 800 mm forks. For horizontal movement of heavy loads without high-level storage. HHK 800 RL: 800 kg capacity, 940 mm height, 1,150 mm forks, ±20° tilt. For storage on low shelving with angular adjustment.
The choice depends on the application: for horizontal movement of heavy loads over short distances (construction sites, cement factories, sheet metal factories), the HHK 1000 is correctly sized. For storage on low shelving with fine adjustment capabilities, the HHK 800 RL is correctly sized. The two machines are not interchangeable.
Why a manual pallet jack and not an electric one?
The price: the manual HHK costs significantly less than an electric EHS or EDS stacker. For applications with occasional use or without access to industrial three-phase current, the manual is the correct choice. For intensive continuous use, the electric one has higher productivity and justifies the higher investment.
Economic comparison: manual HHK approximately €600-€1,200; electric EHS stacker approximately €3,000-€6,000; heavy-duty EDS stacker approximately €6,000-€12,000. For workshops with 5-10 movements per day, the manual is correctly sized; for 20-50 movements per day, consider an electric EHS; for over 50 movements per day, consider an EDS or industrial internal combustion engine forklifts.
How much effort is needed to lift 1,000 kg with the manual pump?
The hydraulic system is designed to reduce effort: typically 30-40 pumps to reach maximum height at full load. The force required on the lever is approximately 15-25 kg per pump.
For intensive daily use, the cumulative effort can be significant: 30-40 pumps × 15-25 kg of force = typical physical work of a warehouse operator. For intensive continuous use, it is recommended to consider electric pallet jacks (EHS or EDS) to reduce fatigue. For occasional use (5-10 lifts per day), the manual effort is manageable.
Are the forks width-adjustable?
For the HHK 800 RL model, the forks have a fixed width of 150 mm and a free width between forks of 240 mm. They are not width-adjustable.
The fixed width is sized for standard EUR pallets (1,200 × 800 mm) and similar industrial pallets. For non-standard sized pallets (custom industrial, narrow pallets), check compatibility with the openings under the pallet in advance. For special sized pallets, consider pallet jacks with adjustable forks or special adapters.
Is the parking brake adequate for slopes?
The manual parking brake is designed for flat surfaces or gentle slopes up to 5%. For steeper slopes, use additional chocks.
On slopes, the risk of the pallet jack rolling with a full load is significant: 1,000 kg on a 10% slope generates a force of 100 kgf that the manual brake cannot withstand. For applications on inclined construction sites or sloped warehouses, always use chocks and/or additional mechanical anchors. Workplace safety regulations prohibit releasing the brake on slopes without additional restraints.
