Heavy-Duty electric Pallet Jacks : SAFE LOAD HANDLING WITHOUT CRANES

Electric pallet trucks for LOADS UP TO 100 TONS
EVERYTHING YOU NEED to handle heavy loads with ease
Morello’s heavy-duty electric pallet jacks give industrial companies a safe and flexible way to move very heavy loads without relying on overhead cranes. Morello manufactures heavy-duty electric pallet trucks with load capacities of up to 100 tons, combining an ultra-low loading height with powerful lifting performance.
These machines are designed to eliminate the risks associated with suspended loads and make heavy material handling safer, more controlled and more efficient. Loads can be positioned on specially engineered steel pallets, fully customizable by Morello, allowing the pallet truck to slide underneath, lift and transport them throughout the facility.
Alternatively, loads can rest on supports such as wooden blocks, enabling the walk-behind pallet jack to lift and transfer them safely to different supports or locations.
How Morello's HEAVY-DUTY PALLET TRUCKS work
Morello’s electric pallet trucks are designed to support industrial operations where large, heavy or difficult-to-handle loads must be moved at floor level. The machine approaches the load, slides underneath the pallet or support structure, lifts it and transfers it to the required area.
This makes the equipment suitable for production departments, assembly areas, storage zones, maintenance operations and internal logistics processes where crane availability, operator safety and handling precision are important.
For applications that require a different type of electric load carrier, companies can also explore Morello’s battery-powered carts and electric transporter trucks.
EFFORTLESS OPERATION and precise control
To ensure maximum ease of use, Morello’s heavy-duty electric pallet trucks are equipped with a motorized steering system that significantly reduces operator effort. While a control drawbar is available as an option, many customers prefer pendant or radio remote control solutions. These control systems help minimize the steering radius and provide smooth, precise, and effortless maneuvering, even when handling very heavy loads.
As a motorized pallet jack, the machine is designed to simplify operations that would otherwise require more complex handling methods, helping operators move large loads with greater control and less physical effort.
BATTERY POWER, runtime and charging options
All Morello’s heavy-duty electric pallet jacks are battery-powered. Each model can be equipped with either traditional lead-acid batteries or high-performance lithium batteries.
A battery-powered pallet jack with lithium technology offers greater flexibility, faster charging times, and longer service life. Lithium batteries significantly reduce downtime by allowing opportunity charging in just a few minutes during breaks or shift changes.
From complete discharge, a full recharge can be achieved in approximately 2 hours. The operating autonomy depends on the load, route, floor conditions, frequency of use and work cycle, so the battery configuration is evaluated according to the customer’s real handling process.
HEAVY-DUTY ELECTRIC TRUCKS vs STANDARD TRUCKS
Standard pallet jacks are generally intended for lighter warehouse handling and conventional pallet movement. Morello’s heavy-duty electric pallet trucks are developed for industrial applications where load capacity, lifting force, customization and safety requirements are much higher.
Compared with a standard solution, an electric pallet truck can handle loads up to 100 tons, operate with customized steel pallets or supports, and include dedicated dimensions, controls, wheels and safety options. This makes it suitable for companies that need more than basic pallet movement and require equipment engineered around heavy-load handling.
When additional lifting height is required, an electric high-lift pallet jack configuration can be evaluated according to the load, clearance, operating area and handling sequence.
TAILORED SOLUTIONS for your unique handling challenges
Morello offers both standard and fully customized walk-behind heavy-duty electric pallet trucks, engineered to meet specific operational requirements. Customization options include dual forks or single loading platforms, adjustable lengths and widths, variable travel speeds, increased incline capability, and wheel solutions designed for uneven or demanding surfaces, among many other features.
