A job this truck is built for
Eight pallets on a multi-drop across south-west Sydney, or one full load Sydney to Wollongong in the morning and back loaded in the afternoon. With the deck full, the payload works out at about 650 kg a pallet on average; heavier pallets than that and the weight runs out before the floor does.
How the pallets sit on the deck
Is this the right size?
Pick the vehicle by the pallet count and the weight, in that order. A load that fits on the floor can still be over the payload, and a light load can still run out of positions. If you are near the line, quote both sizes and take the cheaper one. Either side of this vehicle:
- 6 Pallet Truck, 6 pallet positions
- 10 Pallet Rigid, 10 pallet positions
Not sure? Describe the freight and every vehicle that fits comes back priced side by side.

Questions about the 8 Pallet Truck
How many pallets fit on a 8 pallet truck?
8 pallet positions. That is standard 1165 by 1165 Australian pallets on the floor, not double stacked. Double stacking is quoted separately because it depends on the height and the strength of your freight.
What can a 8 pallet truck carry?
Up to 5.2 t of freight. Load volume is 36 cubic metres.
What licence does a 8 pallet truck need?
A MR class licence as a minimum. The driver and the vehicle are both confirmed on the job sheet before the run.
Can I get a price without calling?
Yes. Put the pickup, the delivery and the freight into the quote tool and every vehicle that fits comes back priced, this one included. No form, no wait.
How are the pallets arranged on a 8 pallet truck?
8 positions, two across and 4 along, standard 1165 by 1165 pallets on the floor, not double stacked. The diagram on this page numbers the positions from the headboard, so position one goes on first and comes off last. On a multi-drop run the last delivery is loaded first and the first delivery sits at the door.

The Sydney to Melbourne, Sydney to Brisbane, Sydney to Newcastle, Sydney to Wollongong, Sydney to the Central Coast, Sydney to Canberra, Sydney to the Mid North Coast, Sydney to the Central West, Sydney to Adelaide, Newcastle to Sydney, Melbourne to Sydney and Brisbane to Sydney lanes carry their own pages. If you need the pallets too, we supply those as well.
