Catalysis of the transfer of a polyol from one side of the membrane to the other. A polyol is any polyhydric alcohol. Catalysis of the transfer of an alcohol from one side of the membrane to the other. An alcohol is any carbon compound that contains a hydroxyl group. Catalysis of the PEP-dependent, phosphoryl transfer-driven transport of substances across a membrane. The transport happens by catalysis of the reaction: protein N-phosphohistidine + galactitol(out) = protein histidine + galactitol phosphate(in). This differs from primary and secondary active transport in that the solute is modified during transport. Catalysis of the transfer of a galactitol from one side of the membrane to the other. Galactitol is the hexitol derived by the reduction of the aldehyde group of either D- or L-galactose.
