Who uses the RHW 1000 and for what
The Bernardo RHW 1000 is a special fork pallet truck designed for handling industrial cylindrical coils with a diameter between 800 and 1200 mm. The forks have a specific geometry (225 mm width) to accommodate the coil's diameter without damaging the roll during lifting. Construction feature: the 2,000 kg capacity is the same for all RHW models; the difference between the models is only in the fork dimensions (width, total machine width) to accommodate coils of different diameters. The maximum lifting height of 115 mm is sized for lifting from the ground to a standard level (e.g., loading onto a truck, positioning on a low shelf). For high-level storage on multiple shelves, dedicated EHS stackers or forklifts are needed. In Krollit customer workshops, the RHW 1000 pallet truck is chosen by paper mills for handling paper rolls, sheet metal factories for managing sheet metal coils, cable manufacturers for industrial cable rolls, textile factories for fabric rolls, and logistics warehouses with standard coils.
Its place in the Bernardo range
The Bernardo RHW pallet truck range for cylindrical coils is organized into 4 models by coil diameter: RHW 500 (400-600 mm coils), RHW 700 (600-800 mm), RHW 1000 (800-1,200 mm), RHW 1500 (1,200-1,600 mm). All models share the 2,000 kg capacity and 115 mm lifting height: the difference is exclusively in the fork size to adapt to the diameter of the coil being handled. For the RHW 1000 model (800-1200 mm coils), check the typical diameter of the coils in the warehouse: a coil that is too small on the forks of a large model risks slipping during handling; a coil that is too large will not fit into the forks of a small model. Choosing the correct model is essential for safety and functionality. Difference with the Bernardo EHS series: RHW are manual pallet trucks for horizontal handling of coils (maximum lift 115 mm); EHS are electric stackers for high-level pallet storage (lift up to 3,500 mm). They are products for completely different applications even though both are forklifts.

Original Bernardo spare parts (rollers, wheels, handles) available from stock with 3-5 business days shipping. Customer assistance available in Italian.
Who is the RHW 1000 for
| Profile | Compatibility | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Passionate hobbyist | Not indicated | The RHW pallet truck is an industrial tool for coil handling: exclusively professional application. |
| Paper mill / cable factory / sheet metal factory with 800-1200 mm coils | Recommended | Forks sized specifically for the typical diameter. 2,000 kg capacity sufficient for most standard industrial coils. |
| Logistics warehouse with standard coil handling | Recommended | Overall width 1000 mm and turning radius 1,340 mm for maneuverability in standard warehouse aisles. |
Not indicated for: handling coils with a diameter outside the 800-1200 mm range (check the model with the correct range: RHW 500, 700, 1000 or 1500); storing pallets on multi-level shelving (EHS stackers are correctly sized); handling loads over 2,000 kg (lift limited to 115 mm and max capacity 2,000 kg); applications where horizontal handling of standard pallets is needed (use standard manual pallet trucks for pallets, not for coils).

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I also use the RHW 1000 for standard pallets?
No. The forks of the RHW pallet truck are specifically sized to accommodate cylindrical coils with the indicated diameter. The geometry of the forks is not compatible with standard EUR pallets (1,200 × 800 mm).
For handling standard pallets, standard manual pallet trucks with standard forks are needed, sized for the openings under the pallet (typically 95-110 mm open fork height). Krollit also supplies standard pallet trucks in its catalog. For mixed applications, consider a standard pallet truck + a separate coil handling system.
Is a 115 mm lifting height really sufficient?
For coil handling, yes. The RHW pallet truck lifts the coil 115 mm from the floor, which is sufficient to move it horizontally without dragging. It is not correctly sized for high-level storage on shelving.
The 115 mm height is standard for manual pallet trucks: it is the lift value sufficient to overcome floor imperfections (joints, slight slopes, steps up to 50 mm) during horizontal transport. To place the coil on shelving above ground, a forklift with higher lift is needed.
Can I handle empty coils smaller than the minimum 800 mm?
Not recommended. Coils below the minimum diameter of 800 mm risk slipping sideways in the forks during lifting or adopting unstable positions that can cause falls.
For smaller diameter coils, consider the RHW model with a smaller range (e.g., RHW 500 for 400-600 mm, RHW 700 for 600-800 mm) or different handling systems such as rotating clamps or scoop hooks. The correct sizing of the pallet truck relative to the coil diameter is essential for safety.
Is the 2,000 kg capacity the same for all RHW models?
Yes. The mechanical structure of the frame and the hydraulic system is the same for RHW 500, 700, 1000, and 1500: maximum capacity 2,000 kg for all. The difference between the models is exclusively the size of the forks to accommodate coils of different diameters.
The 2,000 kg capacity limit applies to vertical static load with the coil centered on the forks. For eccentric or decentralized coils, the effective capacity is reduced. Always check the actual weight of the coil before lifting. For coils over 2,000 kg, dedicated heavy industrial handling systems are required.
Are the wheels suitable for industrial floors?
Yes. The steering wheel Ø 200 × 50 mm and load rollers Ø 82 × 70 mm are made of high-resistance polyurethane, sized for standard industrial floors (smooth concrete, industrial tiles, epoxy resins).
For very rough or damaged floors, the wheels may wear out more quickly. For environments with oil, solvents, or metal shavings, consider periodic replacement of the wheels. Original Bernardo replacement wheels are available from stock with 3-5 business days shipping.
