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.
