Electric Pallet Trucks (BOPT)

Sumachay stocks battery operated pallet trucks in India with delivery across the country from our Bengaluru warehouse and pickup from our Jigani facility. Start with your typical pallet weight and daily cycle count. For loads under 1,400 kg and moderate use, a standard lithium model like the SESR15 works well. For heavier loads or multi-shift operations, choose a 2,000 kg SELR20-series model or a ride-on unit with a higher-amp battery for longer runtime between charges.

BOPT stands for battery operated pallet truck — a powered machine that moves palletised loads horizontally while the operator walks behind or rides on a platform. Unlike a hand pallet truck, a BOPT machine drives and lifts on battery power, so there is no manual pumping or pushing. Sumachay BOPT machines cover 1,500 kg to 3,000 kg capacities with lithium batteries and 220V charging, in walk-behind and ride-on configurations.

Electric pallet trucks work on smooth concrete, sealed warehouse floors, and dock plates. They fit standard container and truck widths and most dock doors. Avoid steep ramps (over 5% grade), outdoor gravel, and wet surfaces. Minimum aisle width is typically 2.5 to 3 metres for safe turning.

All our electric pallet trucks use lithium-ion (LiFePO4) batteries with built-in chargers compatible with standard 220V Indian power outlets. A full charge takes 4–6 hours and delivers 6–8 hours of typical warehouse use. Opportunity charging during breaks extends runtime. No battery watering or acid maintenance required.

Request a quote directly from Sumachay online and our team will confirm stock, pricing, and delivery to your facility. Electric pallet trucks are dispatched crated from our Bengaluru warehouse to commercial addresses across India, with GST invoicing on every order. Customers in and around Bengaluru can arrange pickup from our Jigani facility.

All electric pallet trucks include a 12-month manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. We provide replacement parts including batteries, wheels, and control boards through our India operations. Technical support is available by phone and email.

Our 1,500 kg models — the SESR15 and the narrow-fork SESR15-N — run on a 24V LiFePO4 lithium battery, while the 2,000 kg models (SELR20 and the scale-equipped SELR20-S) use a 48V LiFePO4 battery. Every unit has a built-in charger that plugs into a standard 220V outlet, so no dedicated charging room is needed. We keep replacement lithium batteries and chargers in stock for all models, so parts stay available for the life of the equipment.

Yes. The SESR15-N is a narrow electric pallet truck with 550 mm forks sized for Euro pallets and tight-entry loads, on the same 24V lithium platform as the standard SESR15. For high-throughput operations, the SER20 (2,000 kg) and SER30 (3,000 kg) are ride-on BOPT machines that the operator drives rather than walks behind. Compare the full range above, or request a quote for a fit recommendation.

Electric pallet jacks can be purchased directly online, and the current price is shown on each product page in Canadian dollars — no quote needed. Price varies with capacity, fork length, battery configuration, and whether you choose a walk-behind or ride-on model. Every unit includes an installed lithium-ion battery and charger, so there are no hidden add-ons to reach a working machine.

A manual pallet jack is pumped by hand to lift a load and pushed or pulled by the operator — inexpensive and best for light, occasional moves over short distances. An electric (powered) pallet jack drives and lifts under battery power, so the operator guides it without pushing. Electric models move heavier loads farther with far less effort, which pays off in daily or multi-shift use. For light, infrequent tasks a manual jack is fine; for regular work, electric saves time and reduces strain.

Yes, within limits. Our electric pallet jacks are designed for loading docks, dock levellers, and moving pallets in and out of trailers on smooth surfaces. Keep ramp grades gentle and move loaded down-grade with care. They are built for firm, level indoor floors — not for outdoor gravel, steep inclines, or uneven ground. If dock and trailer work is your main use, tell us your setup and we'll recommend the right capacity and wheel configuration.

Very little. Keep the machine clean, inspect the load wheels and forks for wear, and charge the lithium-ion battery as needed — there is no daily fluid check like older lead-acid equipment. Lithium batteries handle partial opportunity charging without harm. We stock batteries, chargers, load wheels, and control parts in Canada, and technical support is available if you ever need troubleshooting.
