Sometimes described as "mini-forklifts," pallet jacks are small loaders essential for moving jobs or in a warehouse. The manual version is simple: forklift prongs, wheels and a handle. Electric types, the power pallet jack, can sometimes accommodate a rider, and operate like a forklift with more restricted range of motion.
If you need pallets moved, you can find solutions online. Use pallet jacks to:
1. Lift and transport furniture or other heavy items.
2. Take pallets on or off of vehicles.
3. Arrange palleted goods for storage in a warehouse environment.

Tips & Tactics
Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide
- When buying pallet jacks, make an effort to talk about conditions. If you are buying new, talk warranties. If you are buying used, discuss the wear and tear that may be on your purchases; some jacks work fine but look bad, others work, but may have idiosyncrasies you need to know about.
