Base Pallet Truck
LOAD CAPACITY: 3,300 LBS
The Hyster® DW33ALZ electric walkie pallet jack delivers the stability and control drivers need to unload pallets from trailers and move loads across parking lots and uneven surfaces. Built to handle real‑world delivery conditions, it keeps productivity high outside the dock—where many pallet trucks struggle.
Nested motorized sled
LOAD CAPACITY: 1,200 LBS
The Hyster® DS12ALZ electric motorized sled is lightweight, low‑profile and highly maneuverable—engineered specifically for the final leg of delivery. Its compact design helps meet store restrictions on heavy equipment that can damage floors, while providing powered assistance to move product safely around pedestrians, through narrow aisles and into tight back‑of‑store spaces like coolers and storerooms.

Matching pallets
40 lightweight, narrow-footprint pallets nest tightly to maximize trailer space in trailers and reduce the physical strain on drivers handling empty pallets. Designed to work seamlessly with the Route Runner system, they help drivers stay efficient from the first stop to the last.
- Ergo-lift: Raises the platform up to 22.5 inches to bring the product closer to the worker, reducing bending and lifting during restocking.
- Ergo-drive: Provides powered assistance to help drivers maneuver heavy loads up inclines, over thresholds and across uneven surfaces with less manual effort.
By combining the capabilities of a pallet truck and a handcart into a single system, the Route Runner can reduce manual handling by as much as 50%, helping improve productivity while lowering risk of repetitive-strain injuries.
Integrated li-ion batteries with on-board chargers in both the pallet truck and the motorized sled keep performance strong throughout the route. A smart charge option automatically prioritizes charging to whichever component needs more power. Additionally, the Route Runner can be charged in the back of the truck through a standard 110v outlet.
