The Toyota Lifter manual pallet truck range offers versatility and reliability, with models capable of handling loads from 750 kg to 3000 kg. Ideal for everyday use in shops, warehouses, industrial environments, and production facilities, these high-quality hand pallet pump trucks are manufactured in Europe. They provide a sustainable material handling solution and can be customised with various options, such as integrated scales and wet or corrosive specifications, to meet your specific operations’ needs.
A pump unit and fork frame, nothing more. A Toyota Lifter always comes in handy, whatever the operation. Our high-quality hand pallet trucks are proven to be the most durable – lasting up to five times as long as other trucks in work-cycle tests.

Toyota Lifter, outlasting generations
Keeping performance standards high
Back in 1947, Ivar Bryntse, also associated with the creation of the Euro pallet, came up with the idea of the hydraulic pallet lifter. Exactly twenty years later, industrial designer Rune Monö presented the lifter’s ground-breaking and often copied design, setting the world standard for the hand pallet truck. Based on Toyota’s Kaizen principle, the Toyota Lifter design has been overhauled several times over the years to continuously improve its performance and it has become a universal truck suitable for all types of applications with million units worldwide.
Lasting material handling
We strive to reduce environmental impact throughout the product life cycle, from design, manufacture and operation, through to end-of-life recycling. The durability and long-lasting performance of the Toyota Lifter hand pallet trucks reduce their environmental effect, making them the number one hand pallet truck choice. With our aim to reach Net Zero across scope 1, 2 & 3 by FY2041, we are constantly looking for alternatives to reduce the environmental impacts of our products. For instance, by introducing the use of recycled steel, produced with fossil-free electricity and fuels, for our most common hand pallet trucks, we reduce the carbon footprint significantly compared to products made with virgin steel. Our journey continues by exploring future opportunities of carbon-free alternatives and solutions for our truck range.
A timeless legacy
The Toyota Lifter manual pump truck is a tool you can rely on. Carefully assembled and continuously tested, it’s proven that other hand pallet trucks wear out and need to be replaced up to five times quicker than a Toyota Lifter. Regular hand pallet truck maintenance is essential for maximising uptime and guaranteeing the safety of your workforce. Manual pallet trucks from Toyota have a long service life because they are built with up to 12 greasing points to allow lubrication, they have solid pushrods and robotised welding of the frames. Convinced of its quality, we offer a 99-year guarantee on the fork frame.
Hand pallet trucks from Toyota offer several advantages, including ease of use, reduced physical strain on operators, cost-effectiveness, and manoeuvrability in tight spaces. Toyota Lifters can be used anywhere a load needs to be moved, and this without having to charge a battery.
Toyota manual low lifters are versatile and can be used in a wide range of environments, including warehouses, distribution centres, retail stores, manufacturing facilities, and more.
To operate a Toyota hand pallet truck safely, start by ensuring the load is evenly distributed on the forks. Pump the handle to lift the load slightly, then steer the pallet truck carefully. Always park the truck safely. Toyota Lifters can optionally be fitted with a handbrake.
For uneven floors bogie fork wheels are the best choice. They offer smoother drive and more stability. The load is distributed between several wheels, decreasing the point load and point friction and causing less individual wheel wear.
In most cases, hand pallet trucks are used to handle EURO pallets from the short side. With many different dimensions of the fork carriage, Toyota can deliver the right manual truck for your load carrier (half pallets, low pallets, ...).
Typical fork length is 1150 mm, ideal to handle pallets 1200 mm long such as the EU pallet. Hand trucks can also be equipped with shorter forks for easy handling of the EURO pallet from the long side or other load carriers for half-pallets.
