Pallet Truck Hire in Godstone, Surrey
Moving a loaded pallet across a warehouse floor or a van by hand is hard work and a manual handling risk. A pallet truck does it safely. Godstone stocks manual and powered models, ready this week.
Pallet truck hire covers manual and powered models for moving loaded pallets safely across a warehouse, yard or van. Our Godstone depot matches a model to your floor and your load.
Manual or Powered Pallet Truck?
A manual pallet truck suits light, occasional moves on flat, firm flooring. It is simple to use and needs no charging or fuel.
A powered pallet truck suits heavier loads or frequent moves across a longer distance, taking the physical strain off whoever is pushing it.
Tell the depot your load weight, your floor surface and how often the truck will be used. We will suggest the type that suits the actual job, not just the cheapest option. If you are not sure which type suits your job, describe how often the truck will be used across a typical week and the depot will suggest a fit. Call with both figures ready, and the depot will confirm a suitable model before your collection or delivery slot.
Our Pallet Truck Range
Godstone stocks manual and powered pallet trucks across a few load capacities, for warehouses, yards and vans. See every hire service from this depot on our Godstone Forklift Rental Service page. Full specs for each model, including load capacity and fork length, are listed on our Pallet Trucks collection. Check fork length against your pallet size before booking.
Call 01883 743322 and tell us your load and your floor type. We will confirm a model and have it ready for collection or delivery. Collection at the end of the hire follows the same booking, so there is only one delivery slot to arrange for the whole job. Call with your load and floor details ready, and we will confirm a model and a slot on the same call.
Pallet Truck Hire for Godstone and Surrey Sites
Warehouse units around Redhill and Reigate often have smooth concrete floors, which suit most pallet trucks without any extra consideration.
Older yards nearer Godstone sometimes have uneven surfaces or gravel, where a manual pallet truck can struggle more than a powered one with larger wheels.
Tell the depot your floor surface when you book. We will suggest a model with wheels suited to that surface, rather than a standard set. Loose gravel in particular can slow a manual truck down considerably, which is worth factoring in even for a short, occasional hire. We supply pallet trucks across the whole Godstone area, not only the towns named here, so call even if your site sits elsewhere nearby.
What's Included With Every Pallet Truck
Every pallet truck arrives checked, with a weight limit clearly marked and a short safety check carried out before it leaves the yard.
Powered models include a charger and a quick walk-round of the controls. There is no charge for normal wear during the hire period.
Need a higher load capacity partway through? Call 01883 743322 and we will arrange a swap for the rest of your hire. Our team also records the fork length and load rating at handover, so there is a clear note of the exact model supplied. Call ahead if your load changes partway through a longer hire, and we will confirm whether the current truck still suits the new weight.

Frequently Asked Questions
What load can a pallet truck carry?
It depends on the model, with our range covering light duty up to heavier loads for busier warehouses. Tell the depot your typical pallet weight, and we will confirm a model rated above that figure before it leaves the yard. If your pallet weights vary through the day, give the depot the heaviest figure you expect, so the truck is rated well above your normal load.
Do I need a powered pallet truck or will manual do?
A manual truck suits light, occasional moves on flat flooring. A powered truck suits heavier loads or frequent use across longer distances. Tell the depot how often and how far the truck will travel each day. Tell the depot the distance the truck will travel and how often each day, and we will suggest the type that suits that pattern of use. A busier warehouse floor usually suits a powered model better, even if individual loads are not especially heavy.
Do you deliver pallet trucks to Redhill and Reigate?
Yes, both are inside our normal Godstone delivery area. Delivery is quoted with your hire price, so the full cost is clear before booking. Call with your postcode for a slot this week. Delivery is quoted alongside your hire price for either postcode, so the full cost is clear before you commit to booking. Delivery further out may add a short lead time, so call early if your dates are tight for the job ahead.
Can a pallet truck be used outdoors on gravel?
Some models cope better with uneven ground than others. Tell the depot your surface type when you book, and we will suggest a pallet truck with wheels suited to gravel or uneven yards rather than a standard set. Our depot keeps a small range of wheel options in stock specifically for this reason, rather than sending every truck out on a standard set. Call ahead with details of your surface, and we will have a suitable truck ready before collection or delivery.
What UK rules cover manual pallet moving?
The Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992 set out duties around avoiding manual handling risk where possible, and reducing it where it cannot be avoided. A pallet truck is one of the simplest ways to meet this duty when moving loaded pallets by hand. Coppard checks every pallet truck before hire, so it is already suitable for the job before it reaches your warehouse floor. This duty applies whether the pallet truck is manual or powered, since both reduce the physical strain of moving a loaded pallet.
