High Lift Pallet Trucks
Sumachay Plus SHL15+ High Lift Pallet Truck 1500kg Quick-Lift Manual Scissor Jack | Free Shipping & 18-Month Warranty
High Lift Pallet Trucks — Quick-Lift Scissor Pallet Jacks
A high lift pallet truck does what a standard pallet jack can’t: it raises the load to roughly 800 mm instead of the usual ~200 mm, turning a full pallet into a work surface at ergonomic height. Sumachay’s manual high lift pallet truck, the SHL15+, is rated to 1,500 kg (3,300 lb) and uses a scissor lift mechanism, so the same hand-pump tool doubles as a mobile lift table for order picking, assembly, packing, and stock build-up. Instead of bending over pallets all day, operators bring the load up to them and work at waist height — faster and with far less strain. The built-in quick-lift pump is the second advantage: it reaches full height in fewer strokes than a conventional pump, so there’s less pumping per cycle and noticeably less fatigue across a shift on busy picking and packing lines. As a direct Canadian manufacturer, we build the SHL15+ for real warehouse, workshop, and packing-line duty rather than light occasional use, and we back it with an 18-month warranty. It’s in stock and ships from Ontario to anywhere in Canada, with Toronto-area pickup available.

How to Choose a High Lift Pallet Truck
1. Decide how high you need to lift
A standard pallet jack only clears the floor (~200 mm) to move loads. A high lift pallet truck raises the pallet to roughly 800 mm, so it works as a low assembly or packing table. If your team handles, picks, or builds loads at height, the lift range is the deciding spec.
2. Match capacity to your loads
The SHL15+ is rated to 1,500 kg (3,300 lb) at full scissor extension. Keep loads centred on the forks and within rating; a high lift truck trades the very top capacity of a flat jack for the ability to raise the load, so size for your real pallet weights.
3. Look for quick-lift if you cycle often
Quick-lift pump technology raises the forks to full height in fewer strokes than a conventional pump. On a busy picking or packing line that means less pumping per pallet and noticeably less operator fatigue over a full shift.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a high lift pallet truck and how high does it lift?
A high lift pallet truck is a manual pallet jack with a scissor lift mechanism that raises the load well above floor level. The SHL15+ lifts to 800 mm (about 31 in) — roughly four times a standard pallet jack’s ~200 mm — so a full pallet sits at a comfortable working height for picking, assembly, or packing.
How is a high lift pallet truck different from a standard pallet jack?
A standard pallet jack only raises a pallet a few inches off the floor to transport it. A high lift (scissor) pallet truck raises the load to roughly 800 mm, so it doubles as a mobile work or assembly table. You get the same hand-pump portability, plus an ergonomic working height that a flat pallet jack can’t reach.
What is quick-lift on a manual high lift pallet truck?
Quick-lift is a pump design that raises the forks to full height in fewer strokes than a conventional hydraulic pump. On the SHL15+ it means less pumping per cycle and less operator fatigue — a real advantage on picking and packing lines where the truck is raised and lowered all day.
What capacity does the SHL15+ high lift pallet truck have?
The SHL15+ is rated to 1,500 kg (3,300 lb). That covers most standard loaded pallets used in picking, assembly, and packing work. Keep loads centred on the forks and within the rating to get full lift height and long service life from the scissor mechanism.
What jobs is a scissor lift pallet truck best for?
Anywhere a load needs to come up to the operator: order picking, sub-assembly and assembly stations, packing and crating, and stock build-up. Raising the pallet to ~800 mm removes the constant bending of working from a floor-level jack, which speeds the task and reduces strain.
Is it in stock in Canada and what warranty does it carry?
Yes — the SHL15+ is in stock and ships from Ontario to any Canadian address by freight carrier, with Toronto-area pickup available. As a direct manufacturer we back it with an 18-month warranty covering manufacturing defects, and we stock wear parts so service is straightforward.
How much does a high lift pallet truck cost in Canada?
As of 2026, the Sumachay SHL15+ high lift pallet truck is $1,600 CAD. It is a manual quick-lift scissor model rated to 1,500 kg (3,300 lb) that raises loads to about 800 mm (31 inches) — roughly four times a standard pallet jack — so picking, assembly, and packing happen at waist height. The price includes free shipping across Canada and an 18-month warranty.
How much maintenance does the scissor lift mechanism need?
The SHL15+ is a manual scissor-lift truck, so upkeep is straightforward: keep the load within the 1,500 kg (3,300 lb) rating and centred on the forks, keep the linkage and wheels clean, and top up the hydraulic oil occasionally. Because it is raised and lowered all day on picking and packing lines, we stock wear parts such as wheels, seals, and pump components so service is simple with basic tools.
