Pallet Truck / Jack Blog
A pallet truck (also known as a pump truck or pallet jack) is a wheeled material handling trolley designed to lift and transport goods stacked on pallets. Pallet trucks are commonly seen in warehouses, stockrooms and in environments where wooden pallets are often used.
Pallet trucks are available both as a manually powered version and electrically/powered pallet truck to suit the requirements of the business. They are especially useful for boosting the efficiency of heavy goods transportation within warehouse environments, turning a multiple-person job into a one person job.
As with any type of workplace equipment, there are hazards that equipment pose. Though hand pallet trucks are generally easy to operate and require no specialist training, accidents still occur as a result of external circumstances and complacency regarding safety regulations.
