Key Features & Advantages

Compact Single-Fork Design

The DPL500 uses a narrow single-fork structure instead of the conventional twin-fork design. This makes it suitable for compatible supermarket bins, containers, and specially designed loads with a central fork opening or support point.

The 200 mm-wide and 600 mm-long fork allows the truck to pass through narrow spaces and approach loads that may be difficult to handle with a standard pallet truck.

Designed for Supermarket Bins

The DPL500 is especially suitable for lifting and transporting compatible supermarket bins and waste containers.

Its compact body, raised lifting height, and flexible steering make it convenient for moving bins between storage areas, collection points, service corridors, and loading locations.

Customers should confirm the dimensions and bottom structure of the bin or container before ordering to ensure proper fork compatibility.

500 kg Load Capacity

With a rated capacity of 500 kg, the DPL500 is suitable for a wide range of light- and medium-duty handling tasks.

The reinforced single fork and thickened steel construction provide stable load support while helping the truck maintain structural rigidity during lifting and transportation.

Hydraulic Lifting up to 300 mm

The fork can be raised from a minimum height of 85 mm to a maximum height of 300 mm.

The additional lift height improves ground clearance and allows the truck to be used for both horizontal transport and low-level load positioning.

Fully Sealed Hydraulic Pump

The high-performance hydraulic pump is fully sealed to reduce the risk of oil leakage and provide reliable lifting performance.

Its efficient hydraulic system allows the operator to raise the load quickly with less physical effort.

Built-In Overload Valve

A built-in overload valve helps protect the hydraulic system when the applied load exceeds the truck’s rated capacity.

This safety feature reduces the risk of hydraulic damage and supports more reliable long-term operation. The rated load capacity of 500 kg must not be exceeded.

Reinforced Heavy-Duty Fork

The single fork is reinforced and manufactured from thickened steel for improved strength and durability.

Its robust cover-plate construction offers good resistance to impact, bending, and deformation under normal working conditions.

Thickened Steel Platform and Frame

The base, truck body, connecting components, and pull rod are reinforced and thickened to improve overall frame strength.

This strengthened construction helps maintain the rigidity and stability of the truck during transportation and lifting, while high-quality materials contribute to a longer service life.

Durable Thickened Spring

The truck is equipped with a thickened steel spring designed to provide good elasticity, high strength, and lasting durability.

The reinforced spring supports smooth handle operation and dependable performance during frequent daily use.

Excellent Maneuverability

With a turning radius of only 830 mm and a steering angle of up to 180 degrees, the DPL500 can maneuver easily in tight working environments.

Its compact 930 mm overall length makes it suitable for narrow aisles, small warehouses, supermarket service areas, elevators, corridors, and restricted production spaces.

Ergonomic Three-Position Handle

The ergonomically designed handle provides a comfortable grip and straightforward control.

The three operating positions allow the operator to:

• Lower the fork with controlled pressure release
• Keep the handle in a neutral position
• Pump the handle to raise the load

The controllable lowering function helps the operator lower heavier loads smoothly and safely.

Gas-Spring-Assisted Handle Return

The gas-spring-assisted handle bar returns smoothly without striking the truck frame.

It can also be operated at multiple angles while pushing or pulling the truck, helping provide smoother movement and better operator comfort.

Dual Rear-Wheel Design

The standard dual rear-wheel design improves steering flexibility and operating stability.

The swivel rear wheels make it easier to change direction in narrow areas, while the compact arrangement supports precise load positioning.

Rear Foot Brake

The rear wheels are equipped with a foot-operated brake that allows the operator to secure the truck at the required position.

This helps prevent unintended rolling during parking, loading, unloading, or load positioning.

Wear-Resistant PU Wheels

The DPL500 uses polyurethane wheels that offer smooth rolling, low operating noise, good wear resistance, and strong load-bearing performance.

PU wheels are also resistant to oil and aging and are less likely to damage indoor warehouse, supermarket, or workshop floors.

The truck can be configured with a single front load wheel or dual front load wheels according to application requirements.

Optional Load Backrest

An optional load backrest can be fitted to provide additional support for taller or less stable loads.

This option is recommended when the transported bin, container, or material requires extra rear support.

Application Scenarios

Supermarkets and Retail Stores

The DPL500 is particularly suitable for moving compatible supermarket bins, waste containers, stock containers, and utility loads.

Its compact design allows it to operate in service corridors, storage rooms, back-of-store areas, and other locations with limited space.

Warehouses and Storerooms

The narrow single-fork structure is useful in small warehouses, narrow aisles, and compact storage areas where conventional pallet trucks may be difficult to maneuver.

It can be used for short-distance transport, load positioning, and low-level lifting of compatible loads.

Factories and Workshops

The DPL500 can transport suitable components, containers, materials, tooling, and work-in-process items between production or assembly stations.

Its manual design requires no battery or charger, making it easy to deploy in different areas of a facility.

Waste and Recycling Areas

The truck can be used to lift and move compatible waste bins or recycling containers in supermarkets, factories, warehouses, commercial buildings, and service facilities.

Fork and container compatibility must be confirmed before use.

Elevators and Corridors

With its compact body and 830 mm turning radius, the truck can move through freight elevators, building corridors, and narrow indoor passages more easily than many standard pallet trucks.

Small Commercial and Utility Areas

The DPL500 is suitable for light-duty handling tasks in shops, storage rooms, commercial facilities, and other locations where space is limited and loads need to be moved manually.
