To meet these needs, Solving has developed a series of heavy-duty wheel based pedestrian-controlled electric pallet trucks. These pallet trucks are manoeuvred and controlled from a tiller placed at the end of the truck. The trucks are smaller and significantly cheaper than alternative heavy load handling devices, and customised interface structures ensure each truck is designed specifically to suit the customer’s needs.

One of the first of these new Solving trucks was delivered to Stora Enso’s paper mill for handling reels of paper. This truck is exceptionally manoeuvrable and can rotate within its own length. Infinitely variable speed control further increases its flexibility. The hydraulic forks are customised to suit Stora Enso’s reel sizes.

Solving’s trucks improve ergonomics because personnel no longer need to carry out heavy moves by hand, and a tight turning circle provides superior manoeuvrability. And one of the most significant advantages is the price – the heavy-duty pedestrian-controlled pallet truck is a significantly more cost efficient solution than the alternatives.
