UniCarriers Americas Corporation has announced the release of its WLX series 4,500 lb. (2,000 kg) capacity walkie pallet trucks. UniCarriers claims the series delivers more value and reliability than many competitors.

Some advantages of the WLX series include its robust fork assembly, powerful hydraulic system and durable design which give the trucks rugged reliability. A compact frame, precise manoeuvrability and high/low speed selection switches provide drivers with confidence and control.

Other features for the WLX series include an ergonomically designed, comfortable tiller handle and low steering effort, which make for more comfortable operation with less operator fatigue.

The walkies are powered by a high-performing AC motor and 24 v electrical system.

The WLX's low-maintenance design keeps operating costs low and components easily accessible.

"The WLX series is designed to give our customers a competitive edge and outmanoeuvre, outperform and outlast similar trucks in the market," according to Mark Porwit, director, marketing and product management, UniCarriers Americas.
