Common Types Of Pallet Jack
- Manual Pallet Jack: It is the most convenient and simplest form of all pallet pumps. It has a steel structure and a hydraulic pump that is used by pumping it up and down manually. They might look small but they have capacity up to 5500lbs. They are perfect for moving pallet loads in small distances and small heights.
- Electric Walk Behind: This is an electric version of Manual Pallet Jack where the user can simply push a button to lift and lower loads. The size is quite bigger due to the battery space inside and has the capacity around 6000lbs. The drive wheel is helpful to lead the load in intended direction.
- Rider Pallet: This is a bigger version of Electric Walk Behind pallet jack where the space behind is installed for operator to ride with it. It is perfect for loading goods from pallets to a longer distance. It is battery-powered and has an industrial battery installed in it.
- Center Rider: This is an advanced pallet truck with almost same features as Rider Pallet but safer than that. The operator can fully operate it facing both backwards and forwards. The machine chassis on both sides are also able to protect the operator. It is perfect for loading or unloading goods in straight rather than sideways.
- Counter-Balanced Walkie Stacker: This is perfect for loading goods in higher places. It can lift those around 100 inches and have amazing balance due to the counterweight placed by the industrial battery, steel and machinery components. Most of the small storehouses or machinery shops choose this option over others.
- Walkie Straddle Stacker: It resembles Counter-balanced stacker in many ways. It has similar capacity of lifting and loading. The exception is its outrigger arms that maintain the balance when loading goods.
