"*" indicates required fields
| Model | Load Capacity | Best for | Gradeability | Turning Radius | Lift Height |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| A-Series Mini Walkie (1.5 to 2.0 t) | 1,500 to 2,000 kg | Retail backrooms, truck tail-lifts, narrow aisles | 15% | 1,296 mm | 80 mm |
| A-Series Rider (2.0 to 3.0 t) | 2,000 to 3,000 kg | Mid to large warehouses, long runs, intensive shifts | 16% | 2,134 mm | 125 mm |
| A-Series Hi-Range (2.0 to 3.0 t) | 2,000 to 3,000 kg | High-throughput, multi-shift operations | 16% | about 1,800 mm | 125 mm |
| Key metric | Hangcha Australia | Industry typical | What it means for you |
|---|---|---|---|
| Load capacity | 1,500 to 3,000 kg | Most electric pallet jacks stop at 1,500 to 2,000 kg | Headroom for heavy pallets without stepping up to a forklift |
| Turning radius (walkie) | 1,296 mm | About 1,400 to 1,800 mm | Works in backrooms, truck bodies and tight rack runs |
| Range coverage | Walkie and rider models in one range | Many suppliers offer pedestrian models only | Short runs and long runs from one supplier, one parts pool |
| Power | Lithium-ion across the whole range | Lead-acid and AGM still common at entry level | Opportunity charging, no watering, no battery change room |
| Cold store | Every model rated to -20 °C as standard | Cool-room capability often a separate special-order model | Chilled and frozen work without a bespoke unit |
| Local delivery | 1 to 3 days (MEL / SYD / BNE) | Imported units often take weeks | Urgent orders don't wait, no warehouse standstill |
| Manufacturer backing | Hangcha Group, top 8 worldwide | Depends on each maker's scale and network | A global production and service network behind long-term reliability |

Four parameters determine the model. Establish these before comparing anything else.
Size to the heaviest load you handle routinely, not your average pallet. Operating permanently at rated capacity slows every cycle and shortens component life. If a meaningful share of your loads sit near a model's ceiling, step up a capacity class.
Work from measured floor dimensions, not rack drawings. Verify three points under load: the U-turn at the end of your longest aisle, the 90-degree entry into your tightest rack run, and the right-angle stacking aisle (Ast) at your busiest pick face.
Allow approximately 200 mm working clearance beyond the measured figure. Also check doorways, dock levellers and any point where the truck changes direction with a laden fork.
Below approximately 30 metres per pallet movement, a pedestrian model is the appropriate specification. Above that figure, or beyond roughly 100 movements per shift, a rider model returns the capital difference through throughput and reduced operator fatigue.
Gradients, cold store, container and tail-lift work, and floor condition each alter the specification. Identify these at selection stage, because they are difficult and expensive to retrofit.
Small stores and tight backrooms, narrow aisles, short runs
