Key construction feature: the minimum fork height of only 51 mm allows insertion under low-base pallets (e.g., pressed pallets with convex bases, Euro pallets with lower planks, low-profile containers) where standard pallet trucks with 85+ mm fork height cannot enter. The maximum lift height is limited to 165 mm: sized for horizontal load transport, not for stacking or high-level storage. Standard manual hydraulic pump: the operator lifts the load by lowering the lever and transports it on wheels. Suitable for: warehouses with low-base pallets, e-commerce businesses with low-profile pallets for small packages, the food sector with low bins and containers, the textile\/footwear sector with boxes stacked on low pallets, logistics operations with a variety of pallets (standard plus low-profile breakages). Not replaceable with standard pallet trucks when pallet height below 90 mm makes fork insertion impossible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIts place in the Bernardo range\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Bernardo range of manual and semi-electric pallet trucks 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 heights of 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.

For each type, check the available height under the pallet before purchase: the PHW 1.0 LOW-35 reaches 35 mm, the PHW 1.5 LOW-51 reaches 51 mm.

Constant overloads (above 110% of the nominal capacity) accelerate the wear of the hydraulic pump, lifting cylinders, and frame structure. For activities with loads close to the limit, a 20% safety margin is recommended: for daily 1,200 kg loads, a pallet truck with a 1,500 kg capacity is preferable; for daily 2,000 kg loads, the PHW 2.5 P, etc.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eDoes the 165 mm lift height allow storage in racking?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The 165 mm lift height is designed for transporting the pallet above the floor, not for high-level storage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eManual pallet trucks (LOW, STANDARD, LONG, HEAVY) are designed exclusively for horizontal movement: lifting is used to lift the pallet off the floor during transport on uneven surfaces, not to insert pallets into racking.
