Pallet jacks are among the most useful types of material
handling equipment out there. They can be used in a variety of applications,
including in warehouses, on loading docks to transport incoming freight, and in
retail shops to move stock from storage to the aisles and shelves.
Pallet jacks come in all sorts of different styles.
Standard models are constructed to enter and lift standard sized pallets that
are 27 inches wide, whereas 21-inch wide models can be used for narrower
pallets, and 18-inch wide models are used for moving items in much narrower
aisles. Pallet jacks can be operated manually or by electric battery power.
They can come with scales to weigh loads as they are being lifted.
So what exactly is considered a heavy load when it comes
to a pallet jack? The answer to this question depends on the standard usage in
different industries, but one way to define load ranges is to identify the
standard models of pallet jacks that are currently available. Many standard
pallet jacks are typically rated for 5,500 pounds.
In our next post, we’ll talk about certain pallet jack wheels and how they can
help to transport loads over 10,000 lbs.
