Pallet Jacks

Since the 1910s, pallet jacks have been around for helping to move the large and heavy pallets around the warehouses, as well as production plants. For every warehouse, they are an inevitable part of the equipment set. Because, compared to a forklift truck, these tools can serve as a basic forklift with even greater characteristic reliability and maneuverability, and at a much lower cost. The way these pallet jacks work is, using the lever they pump a hydraulic piston. The lever also serves as the steering wheel for the tool. This pumping action lifts the forks to a certain height while the hydraulic pressure may be released at any time, such as when the pallet is in place. This simple operational principle requires no additional personal training and ensures maximum stability.

In most cases, this raising height won’t surpasses 9 inches, which keeps the chances of pallet tipping sideways low. No matter who are the manufacturers, the dimensions of pallet jacks are similar as they are uniform around the world. Generally, pallet jacks come with two forks of about 7 inches of width, and a length of up to 50 inches. Due to the design, some issues related to the fork accessibility and the fork raising capabilities arise, which makes those pallet jacks incapable of using some pallet types, like the reversible pallets and those that come with desk-boards. However, pallet jacks are perfectly compatible with those standard pallets widely used around the globe.

Pallet Jacks Types

Manual

For its simplicity and low price, manual pallet jack is the most common type. Both its plumping action to raise the forks, as well as the pulling force of the load through the pumping/ steering lever require manual labor. All the actions are carried out carefully and slowly, which make this manual type offer good legibility. Besides, anyone gets a better feel of the weight distribution on the two forks of the tool due to the hands-on participation of the operator in the process, which is actually a safety factor.

Electric Powered

Like the manual ones, the electric powered pallet jacks come with almost the same simplicity and maneuverability, except the need of having to pump and pull the loads with your hands. It means they are suitable to lift heavier and/or stacked loads, which are too difficult to raise and pull. Also, they can be used on some big warehouses where the work pressure is high and continues, which makes the operators get easily exhausted due to the constant physical effort. Although these pallet jacks are significantly costly than the manual one, they are still pretty cheaper compared to the electric powered forklift truck. They can also move forward and backward at controllable speeds, thanks to their motorized speeds. Also, they feature some extra safety measures such as emergency stop switches.

Our Parts and Brands

Pallet jacks are the heavy load carrying tools and every component are directly connected to others, so it’s really important to keep them in good condition. For instance, if any mechanical component inside the pallet jack fails, the load distribution and forces put on the other components start acting abnormal, which creates bigger wear and tear and even material deformation that can destroy the chassis frame. It means no matter how reliable a pallet jack is, if remains unmaintained, can quickly be turned into an ineffective and un-repairable one.
