Key construction feature: the operator presses a button to lift the load (eliminating the physical effort of the manual pump), but the load is moved by manually pushing the pallet truck (there is no traction motor). Advantage over a manual pallet truck: the lifting effort is completely eliminated, significantly reducing operator fatigue in activities with repeated lifting cycles (over 30 cycles\/hour). Advantage over a fully electric pallet truck: the price is significantly lower (approximately 50-60% of the cost of a fully electric one), maintenance is simpler (no traction motor, no complex control unit), reduced weight (160 kg with battery) allows for easy manual handling. Suitable for: warehouses with frequent lifting cycles but short transport distances (typical 10-30 meters), activities with untrained operators who require simpler equipment than a fully electric one, workshops with occasional but intensive use during peak work. For intensive cycles over long distances (over 30 meters) or challenging inclines, a fully electric pallet truck (with traction motor) is recommended.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIts place in the Bernardo range\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Bernardo manual and semi-electric pallet truck range is organized into 5 main sub-families: \u003cstrong\u003eLOW\u003c\/strong\u003e (PHW 1.0 LOW-35 and PHW 1.5 LOW-51) for low-profile pallets with fork height 35-51 mm; \u003cstrong\u003eSTANDARD\u003c\/strong\u003e (PHW 2.5 P) for general use 2,500 kg; \u003cstrong\u003eLONG\u003c\/strong\u003e (PHW 2.0 L-1800\/2000\/2500) for double pallets and long loads with extended fork length; \u003cstrong\u003eSEMI_ELECTRIC\u003c\/strong\u003e (PHW 1.5 semi-electric) with electric lift and manual traction; \u003cstrong\u003eHEAVY\u003c\/strong\u003e (PHW 5.0 S) for heavy industrial loads up to 5,000 kg.

supports 200-400 lifting cycles per full charge. In normal daily use, it lasts a full working day (8 hours with intermittent cycles).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor intensive continuous use (over 4 hours of active lifting per day), it is recommended to plan overnight charging: the lead-acid battery supports complete discharge\/recharge cycles without significant degradation, provided charging is complete (8-12 hours). Frequent partial charges accelerate lead-acid battery degradation. Average lead-acid battery life: 3-5 years in normal use, 2-3 years in intensive use. Standard 2 × 12V battery replacement: easily available spare part at a low cost (€200-400), simple to replace operationally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eIs the electric lift fully automatic?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The operator presses the 'Up' button on the steering lever to lift the load (500 W motor activates the hydraulic pump), and 'Down' to lower it. Lifting is continuous as long as the button is pressed, until the maximum height is reached.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe automatic lifting eliminates the physical effort of the manual pump: for cycles with repeated lifting (over 30 cycles\/hour), the reduction in fatigue is significant (the operator does not experience the typical right arm fatigue of a manual pallet truck). For cycles with occasional lifting (under 10 cycles\/hour), the advantage is marginal and a standard manual pallet truck is economically preferable. Load traction (horizontal movement) is still manual: the operator pushes or pulls the pallet truck with the steering lever.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eIs a license required to use the semi-electric pallet truck?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn many Italian contexts, no. The reference legislation (Legislative Decree 81\/2008) requires specific training for the use of forklifts with a traction motor (category K). The PHW 1.5 semi-electric only has electric lift (it does not have a traction motor), which is why in many business contexts, standard safety training is sufficient.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePre-purchase verification recommended: consult with your company safety manager (RSPP) regarding specific internal policies. Some companies still require specific training for any motorized equipment, even if not legally mandatory. INAIL guidelines for semi-electric pallet trucks generally include: basic safety training, knowledge of the machine's capacity and operational limits, ability to perform minimal maintenance (battery level check, wheel integrity check).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eIs the charger included?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.

Important: the charger must be connected during non-use hours (typically at night) to prevent deep battery discharges that reduce its lifespan. For intensive use on a double shift (over 12 hours a day), a fast charger (4-6 hours) or a spare battery for mid-shift battery change may be necessary: spare parts available through Bernardo or specialized suppliers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eCan I use it outdoors?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn an emergency, yes; for continuous use, no.

Constant exposure to rain degrades the lead-acid battery and internal electrical contacts of the motor: the machine's lifespan is significantly reduced. For permanent outdoor environments (construction sites, outdoor storage), manual pallet trucks (LOW, STANDARD, LONG, HEAVY) without electrical components, or industrial electric forklifts with dedicated IP65 protection, are correctly sized.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e","brand":"Bernardo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50696538390856,"sku":"07-1008","price":2306.64,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0891\/2139\/0920\/files\/Transpallet-2.jpg?v=1750087552","url":"https:\/\/www.krollit.com\/products\/pallet-truck-ad-azionamento-automatic-phw-15-semi-electric","provider":"Krollit","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
