Wesco Extra-Long CPII Fork Pallet Truck

Wesco Extra Long Forks Pallet Truck

Wesco Extra Long Fork Pallet Trucks – 70" & 78" Fork Lengths 

The Wesco CPII is a 5,500 lb manual hydraulic pallet truck with 11-gauge reinforced forks and a 3-year pump warranty for hard-use dock and warehouse applications. An overload bypass protects the hydraulic pump from damage caused by exceeding the rated capacity. A rubber-coated handle provides a comfortable grip. Fork travel is 3" lowered to 8" raised.

The CPII offers a choice between two wheel packages: moldon polyurethane or moldon nylon. Polyurethane wheels roll more quietly and resist floor marking on finished surfaces. Nylon wheels are lower-cost and suitable for standard concrete warehouse floors. Both wheel types are available at both fork widths.

Four models cover two fork widths (21" and 27") and two wheel types. All models use 7" wide x 48" long forks with a 5,500 lb capacity.


Models and Specifications:

♦ 272777, 21" W, 48" L, 7" wide forks. Capacity 5,500 lbs. Travel 3" to 8". Moldon polyurethane wheels. Overload bypass. 3-year pump warranty. 11-gauge reinforced forks. Rubber-coated handle.

♦ 272778, 27" W, 48" L, 7" wide forks. Capacity 5,500 lbs. Travel 3" to 8". Moldon polyurethane wheels. Overload bypass. 3-year pump warranty. 11-gauge reinforced forks. Rubber-coated handle. Wide fork, polyurethane wheels.

♦ 272775, 21" W, 48" L, 7" wide forks. Capacity 5,500 lbs. Travel 3" to 8". Moldon nylon wheels. Overload bypass. 3-year pump warranty. 11-gauge reinforced forks. Rubber-coated handle. Nylon wheel option at lower cost.

♦ 272776, 27" W, 48" L, 7" wide forks. Capacity 5,500 lbs. Travel 3" to 8". Moldon nylon wheels. Overload bypass. 3-year pump warranty. 11-gauge reinforced forks. Rubber-coated handle. Wide fork, nylon wheels.


Selecting the Right Model:

♦ Fork width, 21" or 27": The 21" wide models suit standard pallet entry openings. The 27" wide models provide a broader fork spread for pallets that require a wider fork width for lateral support. Both widths are available with both wheel types.

♦ Wheel type, polyurethane or nylon, moldon polyurethane wheels provide quieter operation and less floor marking, making them suited for facilities with finished concrete, tile, or mixed surfaces where wheel marks would be a concern. Moldon nylon wheels are lower-cost and well-suited to standard warehouse concrete floors where quieter operation is not required.

♦ CPII vs. Standard Deluxe: both are 5,500-lb manual pallet trucks with an overload bypass. The Standard Deluxe has a 5-year pump warranty and 8-gauge (heavier) forks at 6" width, available in three fork lengths (36", 42", 48"). The CPII has a 3-year pump warranty and 11-gauge forks with a 7" width, available only in a 48" length, with the option of nylon wheels. Choose the Standard Deluxe when the 5-year warranty and multiple fork lengths are priorities. Choose the CPII when the nylon wheel option is needed, or the 7" fork width is preferred.


Where Commonly Used:

♦ Dock and Receiving Pallet Transport, shipping and receiving departments loading and unloading palletized freight at dock positions use the CPII for reliable 5,500 lb manual pallet transport with overload bypass protection during high-frequency dock activity.

♦ Warehouse Floor Pallet Movement, warehouse operations moving standard GMA pallets between receiving, storage, and outbound staging use the CPII as a capable, lower-cost-per-unit alternative to the Standard Deluxe when the 3-year pump warranty is sufficient, and the 48" fork length covers the pallet types in use.

♦ Facilities with Floor Surface Requirements: facilities with finished, mixed, or sensitive floor surfaces use the polyurethane wheel CPII models for quieter operation and reduced floor marking compared to nylon wheel alternatives.

♦ Budget-Conscious High-Volume Operations, purchasing multiple pallet trucks for facility use, use the nylon wheel CPII models as the lower-cost entry point for 5,500 lb manual pallet truck capability with overload bypass, scaling the fleet cost-effectively across multiple dock positions or warehouse zones.

Better support leads to smoother movement and a more efficient workflow.

Overload bypass protection helps prevent damage to the hydraulic system when excessive weight is applied. This feature supports longer pump life and reduces maintenance costs over time. It also adds reliability for demanding workplaces where operators need consistent lifting performance. Built-in protection is a smart safeguard for heavy-use material handling operations.
Where are extra-long fork pallet trucks most commonly used?
These pallet trucks are widely used in manufacturing, distribution centers, and shipping facilities that handle oversized goods. They are ideal for transporting long pallets, machinery skids, or large packaged materials. Extra-long forks also work well in staging areas where load stability is critical. Any facility dealing with non-standard pallet sizes benefits from this specialized design.
