It is a common piece of equipment in warehouses, factories, and retail settings for transporting goods over short distances.Key Features:Forks: Two long prongs that slide under the pallet to lift it.Hydraulic Pump: Allows the operator to raise the forks by pumping the handle.Handle: Used to steer and pump the hydraulic system, raising the forks.Wheels: Located at the front and rear for easy movement and maneuvering.How It Works:The operator slides the forks of the pallet truck under the pallet.By pumping the handle, the hydraulic system raises the forks, lifting the pallet off the ground.The operator can then push or pull the pallet to the desired location.To lower the pallet, a release valve on the handle is used to gently bring the forks down.Hand pallet trucks are valued for their simplicity, ease of use, and ability to maneuver in tight spaces. They are typically used for moving lighter loads or in situations where forklifts are impractical.
