What Does Gradeability Mean for Powered Pallet Trucks?
Gradeability is the slope a powered truck can climb or descend under stated conditions. It depends on traction, load, speed and braking, so a single percentage should never be applied beyond the manufacturer’s test conditions.
Ramps change load control
A pallet that is easy to move on level concrete can push against the drive/brake system on a decline. Wet docks, dock plates and uneven transitions further reduce traction.
Use the site’s worst ramp
Measure the steepest actual grade and confirm the truck is rated for it at the expected load. Operator training and ramp traffic rules are just as important as the number in a spec sheet.
What to check before buying
- Maximum site slope
- Loaded gradeability
- Traction surface
- Braking/operating procedure
