Pallet Jacks: Essential Tools for Materials Handling
Pallet jacks are fundamental pieces of equipment in logistics and warehousing, designed to lift and move pallets easily and efficiently. They are versatile tools used across various industries and work environments, from busy docks and compact storage areas to expansive factory floors. Our selection offers reliable solutions tailored to different operational demands, ensuring safe and stable material movement.
Types of Pallet Jacks
We offer a wide variety of pallet jacks, categorized broadly into electric (or powered) and hand (manual) models, alongside specialized units for unique applications.
Electric and Powered Pallet Jacks
Electric and powered pallet jacks provide motorized assistance for lifting and/or driving, significantly increasing efficiency and reducing manual effort, especially over longer distances or with heavier loads.
- Electric Pallet Jacks: Utilize battery power and often feature high-performance AC drive systems for smooth, efficient, and safe operation. Ideal for high-throughput environments.
- Walkie Pallet Jacks: These units are manually guided but offer power-assisted drive and lift. Known for high efficiency, safety, and simplicity. Specific models offer flexibility for narrow spaces and include features like vertical motors for easier maintenance.
- Rider Pallet Jacks: Designed for operators to ride on, making them perfect for transporting heavy goods over long distances within large warehouses and factories. These can handle loads up to 3 tons.
Hand Pallet Jacks
Manual hand pallet jacks are the most common type, relying on hydraulic systems activated by pumping the handle to lift loads. They are simple, durable, and cost-effective, best suited for short distances and lighter duty tasks, although heavy-duty versions are available.
- Standard Hand Pallet Jacks: Versatile partners for manual transport over short distances, suitable for small warehouses, markets, or use on delivery trucks. Available with various load capacity options, including 2.5T, 3T, or 3.5T, and standard lift heights of 190mm or 200mm.
- Heavy Duty Pallet Jacks: Built for challenging applications requiring exceptional strength. Equipped with a special hydraulic pump to achieve extended load capacities up to 5 tons.
- Low Profile Pallet Jacks: Feature a reduced fork height, specifically designed to lift pallets or skids with minimal bottom clearance. They typically support loads up to 2 tons with lift heights around 157mm or 160mm.
- Extra Wide Pallet Trucks: Designed with wider forks to safely handle high-volume or oversized goods that standard jacks cannot accommodate.
- Pallet Jacks With Hand Brakes: Include an additional braking system on the handle, providing enhanced control for slowing down, stopping, or safely positioning the jack, particularly useful on sloped surfaces. These models often have a maximum load capacity of 2.5T.
Specialty Pallet Trucks
For specific industries or unique load types, specialized pallet jacks offer tailored solutions.
- Reel Handling Pallet Trucks: Equipped with V-Pans designed to securely cradle and transport rolls of material such as paper, film, foil, textile, and nonwovens. They can accommodate roll diameters from 1200mm to 2000mm and handle weights up to 2 tons.
- Stainless Steel and Galvanized Pallet Trucks: Constructed with materials resistant to corrosion, heat, and chemicals. Stainless steel and hot-dip galvanized options are ideal for demanding environments with strict hygiene standards or exposure to moisture and corrosive substances, common in food processing, pharmaceutical, marine, chemical, fishing, and meat processing industries.
- Pallet Jacks With Scale: Integrate a built-in digital scale with an easy-to-read backlit LCD display, allowing operators to weigh cargo loads conveniently while the goods are on the jack, eliminating the need for separate platform scales.
