What is a Pallet Jack?
Pallet jacks, also called pallet trucks, are Class III forklifts that are used to haul large loads (typically stored on wooden pallets) in and around warehouses, factories, stores, and other facilities. They are usually available in electric ride-on (“riders”) and walk-behind (“walkie”) versions.
Why Choose an Electric Pallet Jack?
Electric ride-on pallet trucks are designed for higher speeds and longer distances than their walk-behind counterparts and are motorized to allow operators to lift and move heavier and stacked pallets.
Motorization of a pallet truck eliminates the need to manually pump the handles to lift or lower pallets, saving time and effort on the part of the operator.
Sufficient power is provided by an electrical battery to lift, push, pull, and move pallets. The battery enables the truck to operate continually for several hours, and the charging process simply requires the attachment of the battery cables to a power source.
Electric ride-on pallet trucks have the ability to cover long distances quickly and efficiently with exceptional stability and maneuverability. They also offer excellent visibility, which reduces the chances of accidents.
Compared to gas- or diesel-powered forklifts, electric pallet trucks are quiet and fume-free, two other important factors in smaller warehouses and other enclosed working areas.
Ideal uses for electric pallet jacks include quickly unloading deliveries from tractor-trailers and moving loads to a staging area, as well as for short runs in smaller warehouses. They are also great for order picking at low levels for multiple pallets using longer forks.
