Pallet Truck

A pallet truck, also known as a pallet jack or pump truck, is a material handling tool used to lift and move pallets within a warehouse or other storage areas. It is a common piece of equipment in logistics and distribution centers, as well as in retail stores and manufacturing facilities. The primary function of a pallet truck is to lift and transport palletized goods efficiently.

Pallet trucks are simple and cost-effective tools for moving palletized goods over short distances. They are particularly useful in areas where larger forklifts may be impractical or unnecessary. However, it's important to note that pallet trucks are not designed for lifting pallets to high shelves; for such tasks, a forklift would be more appropriate.

There are different types of pallet trucks, including manual pallet trucks (operated by physical effort) and powered pallet trucks (electrically powered). The choice between these types depends on the specific needs and volume of material handling in a particular environment.
