Xilin DF-III Hand Pallet Truck 2500kg Narrow Fork

The Xilin DF-III 2.5-tonne narrow-fork hand pallet truck is ICD Vietnam’s most compact manual pallet jack, designed for tight warehouse aisles and narrow-fork pallets. With a fork width of just 550 mm and a 2,500 kg load rating, it handles heavy loads where standard-width pallet jacks cannot reach.

What is a low-profile hand pallet truck?

A low-profile hand pallet truck (also called a low-lift pallet jack or manual pallet jack) is a manually operated material handling device that lifts palletized loads a few centimeters off the floor using a hydraulic pump mechanism. The operator pumps the handle to raise the forks, then pulls or pushes the load to its destination.

Unlike counterbalanced forklifts that lift loads to height, hand pallet trucks only raise loads 150-200 mm off the ground - just enough to transport horizontally. They require no fuel, no charging, and minimal operator training, making them the most cost-effective pallet handling solution for many warehouse and production floor applications.

Xilin DF-III specifications

Why choose the narrow-fork DF-III?

• Fits tight aisles: The 550 mm fork width fits narrow warehouse racks and tight production floor spaces where standard 685 mm forks cannot enter
• Compatible with narrow pallets: Works with pallets down to 600 mm width, including some European pallet variants and specialized export pallets
• Replaces 2-3 manual workers: One operator can safely move a 2,500 kg load that would otherwise require multiple workers - improving both productivity and safety
• PU/nylon wheels: Leave no marks on concrete or epoxy floors; resistant to acids, water, and cold storage environments
• Zero operating cost: No fuel, no battery charging, no electricity - lowest total cost of ownership for horizontal pallet movement
• 2-year warranty: Backed by ICD Vietnam’s nationwide service network

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the maximum weight a Xilin DF-III hand pallet truck can carry?

The Xilin DF-III is rated at 2,500 kg maximum load capacity. Operating consistently at or near maximum rated capacity will reduce service life. For regular loads of 2,000-2,500 kg, use the rated capacity as a guide and conduct regular hydraulic seal and wheel inspections.

2. What floor surfaces is the DF-III suitable for?

The DF-III uses PU (polyurethane) and nylon wheels, suitable for smooth industrial floors including concrete, epoxy-coated concrete, tile, and sealed floors. Not suitable for rough outdoor terrain, gravel, or heavily damaged floors with large gaps. For uneven floors, consider a rough-terrain pallet jack.

3. How does warranty service work for Xilin hand pallet trucks from ICD Vietnam?

ICD Vietnam provides a 2-year manufacturer warranty on all Xilin hand pallet trucks. Warranty covers hydraulic pump defects, structural frame defects, and wheel hub failures under normal operating conditions. Overloading, damage from drops, or modifications void the warranty.
