When you are looking to buy a pallet truck, there are a few different types of pallet trucks you can choose from. The first type is known as a jack, while the second is known as a hand truck, scooter, dog, or jigger. Regardless of the name, these trucks are used for moving pallets from one place to another within a warehouse. These trucks are typically made of steel and are relatively small.
Another type of pallet truck is known as a walk-behind truck. This truck is small and maneuverable enough to navigate winding aisles and narrow spaces. It is also useful for high-intensity multiple-shift operations. These trucks can be used for short, medium, and long internal transport. They are typically electric and can be used in all weather conditions.A walk-behind pallet truck is powered by an industrial battery or on-board battery pack. It has a lifting capacity of around 4500 to 6000 lbs. It has an electrical assist for driving and lifting. The only difference between this type of pallet truck and a manual one is the size of the lift. The electric walk-behind is twice as large as the manual pallet jack. An electric walk-behind pallet truck has a battery pack and an industrial battery that allows it to lift pallets.A pallet jack has a control lever at the base of the handlebar. A hydraulic pump pushes the forks upward and downward. When using a pallet jack, be sure to put the forks in neutral position before lowering them. The forks should not be too high or too low, or they can become unstable. The hydraulic jack must be in a neutral position before lowering the forks.
