What Is a Pallet Jack?
A pallet jack is the simplest type of forklift equipment. Often called a manual pallet jack or pallet truck, it’s designed to lift a pallet just a few inches off the ground for easy transport. Electric pallet jacks (sometimes called powered pallet trucks) offer greater lifting power and longer run times for high-volume operations.
Types of Pallet Jacks
Manual Pallet Jacks – Budget-friendly, best for light-duty use
Electric Pallet Jacks – Powered models for warehouses and long shifts
Heavy-Duty Pallet Trucks – Designed for industrial or outdoor applications
