Pallet trucks are for moving pallets from one place to another. Pallet trucks make transportation of pallets easier and ease loading and unloading while ensuring safety. They can also minimize time of transport considerably. Since the pallets can be rather heavy, pallet trucks need to be very strong. Pallet trucks are generally used in chemical and pharmaceutical factories, warehouses, food storage facilities, and retail stores. Most pallet trucks can move loads of around 4000 lbs.
Pallet trucks are designed to suit all kinds of environments and terrains, including highly corrosive and unsanitary conditions. Some pallet trucks are made from zinc and stainless steel; they are chrome coated and galvanized to resist even the highly moist atmospheres of pharmaceutical and chemical factories. There are pallet trucks suitable for clean room, laboratory, wash down, and corrosive material handling applications.
There are different types of pallet trucks: low profile pallet trucks, pallet trucks with scales (for weighing loads), big-wheeler pallet trucks (for uneven floors and heavy loads), specialty pallet trucks (made of zinc or stainless steel for unsanitary environments), wheel-nose pallet trucks (for placing pallets closely in a row), ergonomic pallet trucks (for ease of operation), economic pallet trucks, “Freight-Saver” pallet trucks, all-terrain pallet trucks, foldable pallet trucks (light-duty trucks for going down narrow aisles, through doorways, and around tight corners), and electric pallet trucks (with AC drive motors, battery packs and regenerative braking systems).
Some pallet trucks also have adjustable push rods, a wide turning radius, a skin adaptor, and an integral scale. There are some highly advanced pallet trucks that contain a printer, an LCD display, and a keypad with auto-tare functions that work on rechargeable batteries.
Used pallet trucks are also available. Pallet trucks can be ordered and bought online at manufacturer’s websites.
