Pallet Lifts
Pallet lifts are used to lift pallets from the ground to a raised position for working, storage positioning, loading, or unloading. They may also be used for material or load positioning or lifting. Pallet lifts are typically used in warehouses, loading docks, and anywhere else pallets need to be efficiently picked, transported, and stored.
The most common type of pallet lifts are pallet jacks. Pallet jacks are simple pallet lifts that raise or lower pallets for loading, unloading, or positioning for storage. Typical pallet jacks have two long pieces of metal to hold the pallet, along with a hydraulic lifting system. Some pallet jacks are shaped specifically to lift drums and barrels.
Pallet trucks are used to both lift and move pallets. Pallet trucks comprise rider pallet trucks, vehicles on which the operator rides on the back of the truck, and hand pallet trucks, which are pushed.
