Which solution truly delivers more efficiency, durability, and long-term value?

In today’s fast-moving logistics environment, businesses rely heavily on pallet transportation to maintain high throughput, protect goods, and reduce labor costs. Traditionally, manual and basic electric pallet trucks have carried the weight of this task. However, as industries evolve—especially cold chain, food processing, chemical production, and high-volume distribution—conventional pallet trucks have begun showing clear limitations.

This is where the Akuros T20B Electric Pallet Truck sets itself apart. Engineered for harsh environments, continuous operation, and more demanding workflows, the T20B is not only an upgrade—it is a complete redefinition of what a pallet truck should be.

This performance comparison breaks down the key differences so businesses can better evaluate which solution aligns with their operational needs.

1. Build Quality & Material Protection

T20B: Built for Harsh Environments

The Akuros T20B is fully designed for environments where humidity, low temperature, and corrosive elements are daily challenges. It features:

• Full galvanization to protect the chassis from rust

• Stainless steel bearings for maximum corrosion resistance

• Stainless steel protective covers to safeguard electrical components

• IP67-rated waterproof control handle, suitable for washdowns and cold environments

These enhancements allow the T20B to operate reliably in industries such as:
✔ seafood processing
✔ meat and poultry plants
✔ cold storage & frozen warehouses
✔ chemical factories
✔ pharmaceutical distribution

Conventional Pallet Trucks: Not Designed for Extreme Conditions

Standard pallet trucks—whether manual or basic electric—lack corrosion-resistant materials. Their critical components degrade quickly due to moisture, saltwater, condensation, or repeated cleaning procedures.

Resultado: frequent failures, shorter service life, and higher total ownership cost.

2. Performance in Low-Temperature Conditions

T20B: Engineered for Cold Storage

Cold chain logistics requires equipment that withstands freezing temperatures, condensation shock, and slippery floors. The T20B achieves this through:

• Low-temperature resistant components

• Rubber anti-slip drive wheels (no skidding on icy floors)

• Double-capacity battery for extended operation in cold environments

• Protected electrical system preventing moisture-related damage

These features ensure smooth and dependable operation even in −25°C environments.

Conventional Pallet Trucks: Significant Performance Drop

In cold storage settings, traditional pallet trucks often experience:

• rapid battery loss

• condensation damage

• braking and traction failures

• increased repair frequency

• operator safety risks

They may function in short intervals but cannot support continuous, shift-based cold chain operations.

3. Power, Uptime & Battery Efficiency

T20B: Longer Uptime, Higher Productivity

The T20B is equipped with a bateria de lítio de alta capacidade, offering:

• up to 2× the runtime of conventional electric pallet trucks

• rapid opportunity charging

• stable output even in low temperatures

• minimal maintenance requirement

This ensures consistent workflow in high-intensity environments like distribution centers and processing plants.

Conventional Pallet Trucks: Limited Endurance

Basic electric pallet trucks usually suffer:

• short battery life

• slow charging

• voltage instability in cold areas

• frequent downtime

For multi-shift operations, they require multiple units or battery swaps—both increasing operational costs.

4. Operator Control & Safety

T20B: Designed for Precision and Ergonomics

Operators benefit from:

• completely waterproof IP67 handle

• highly responsive control feel

• smooth acceleration & deceleration

• stability on slippery surfaces

This ensures safe and accurate pallet movement in crowded or tight operational spaces.

Conventional Pallet Trucks: Basic Safety Features Only

Manual pallet trucks offer minimal safety protection.
Basic electric pallet trucks provide limited braking and traction on wet or icy floors.

In dynamic environments—especially cold or humid ones—these limitations become safety liabilities.

5. Lifecycle Cost & ROI

T20B: Higher Initial Investment, Lower Lifetime Expense

Thanks to corrosion resistance, long battery life, and robust construction, the T20B dramatically lowers:

• repair costs

• replacement frequency

• downtime losses

• battery maintenance expenses

In industries with harsh environments, the T20B often achieves full return on investment within 12–18 months.

Conventional Pallet Trucks: Lower Upfront Cost, Higher Long-Term Cost

Over time, conventional models incur:

• repeated repairs

• corrosion-related failures

• battery replacements

• operational interruptions

Overall, TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) becomes significantly higher.

Comparison Overview

Conclusion: Why the Akuros T20B Is the Superior Choice

The Akuros T20B is not a general-purpose pallet truck—it is an industrial-grade solution built for challenging environments where traditional models simply cannot keep up.

If your operations involve:
✔ cold storage
✔ food and seafood processing
✔ chemicals or pharmaceuticals
✔ heavy daily pallet movement
✔ frequent washdowns or corrosive environments

Then the T20B delivers unmatched performance, durability, and long-term cost efficiency.

For businesses aiming to enhance productivity, reduce downtime, and invest in equipment that lasts, the choice is clear:
Akuros T20B stands far ahead of conventional pallet trucks.
