Pallet Jack Singapore

Key Features:

1. Forks: These are the prongs that slide under the pallet to lift and support it.
2. Hydraulic Pump: A manual pump that activates a hydraulic system to lift the forks.
3. Handle: The handle is used to steer and operate the pallet truck. It often includes controls for lifting, lowering, and sometimes steering.
4. Wheels: The pallet truck has wheels that make it easier to maneuver the load across flat surfaces.
5. Weight Capacity: Hand pallet trucks typically have weight capacities ranging from 2,000 to 5,000 kgs,  though heavier-duty models can handle even more.

How It Works:

1. Lifting: To lift a pallet, the operator pumps the handle to activate the hydraulic system, which raises the forks.
2. Transporting: Once the pallet is lifted, the operator pushes or pulls the truck to move the load.
3. Lowering: To lower the pallet, the operator releases a valve on the handle, which allows the hydraulic system to gently lower the forks to the ground.

Hand pallet trucks are a cost-effective and efficient way to move goods in areas without the need for motorized forklifts. They are ideal for short distances and are used for loading/unloading trucks, organizing warehouse inventory, and moving goods in narrow aisles.
