All Rico trucks prove that it’s not the size of the load that

matters, but how well your lift truck is suited for the

application.

Rico has built a reputation on building the strongest and most

reliable truck in the industry. Pallet trucks are designed in 3

versions: Walk Behind, Stand up or Sit Down rider with each

offering its own unique features. In either case, the operator

has more confidence through operator comfort, control, and

visibility.

On the pallet truck series, every feature matches serviceability

and excellence in design. No matter how big or small your job,

performance is of the highest priority. Features include...

• AC or DC drive systems

• Stationary mounted dual or single drive motors

• Helical beveled transmission

• Power Steering or Manual steer options

• Integral side-shift fork positioning

Flexibility, Versatility, Efficiency are all trademarks of Rico and

are incorporated into our designs. In true Rico style, our

pallet trucks are manufactured with various lift heights,

capacities, and control options to handle a diverse list of

applications.

SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE & RELIABILITY

The Rico drive system is powered by programmable

controllers that feature on-board service diagnostic and

on-site customizable capability. Maximum travel and creep

speed are just two of the many controller settings that are

available.

Performance is maximized by high torque drive motors that

are coupled with vertically mounted transmissions providing a

strong combination of power and reliability. Motors are

equipped with large surface contact rotors in either

mechanical or electric brake designs providing safe and

secure stopping each and every time. Stability is critical when

transporting heavy loads. Dual articulating load wheels and

casters allow for even displacement of weight, create the best

floor contact on uneven surfaces.

We use A36 plate and high strength structural steel on all

welded frames. Pallet forks are constructed from formed,

heavy-gauge steel channel with four (4), high strength

stiffeners for maximum strength and long-term durability.

Strong, preheated, multiple-pass frame welds specifically

designed for the most severe operating conditions are a

trademark of the Rico Product Family.

Safety is maximized through low profile drive ends for

operator visibility and for easy, accurate load spotting. Walk

behind models have integrated emergency reversing switch,

thumb throttle speed controls and high speed cut back switch

for operator safety. Rider models feature console mounted

power disconnects and an operator presents detection

sensor that prevents inadvertent operation of the vehicle.

SIMPLE MAINTENANCE

All vehicles are designed with maintenance and service in mind to

prolong the life of the equipment and sustained trouble free

operation. Rico's focus on serviceability is reflected in...

• Large Access Points for hydraulic and electrical system

• A central lubrication system

• Battery Discharge Indicators to prolong battery life

• Drop out load wheel housing

• On-board service diagnostic of drive system

Less time spent on maintenance results in increased run time,

higher productivity, and a rapid return on investment.

Rico’s trucks are a true innovative solution for your material handling needs.

The type of real solution to real problems you face as a

company.
