Benefits and Features of Using Pallet Jacks

The term pallet jacks is often used for defining a ride-on lifting unit, which is usually electricity operated. Though in earlier times there were manually operated ones too, they are almost redundant these days and the electrical ones provide a wide range of benefits. There are various ways to use these and some of them are listed below

Pallet Jacks

Lift and move pallets

As the name indicates these pallet jacks are used for shifting and lifting pallets that are common in warehouses. These are usually of either medium or smaller size. They can also be used for various other similar storage purposes. Also referred to as the pallet stacker, these are an ideal tool for doing smaller tasks of lifting. It is perfect for situations when one does not need large forklifts, which call for tremendous power and also electricity. It functions by disposing the sufficient amount of power using the electrically battery for shifting, moving and lifting pallets.

The electric pallet jack is a ride-on lifting unit powered by electric battery. It is used to lift and move pallets, most commonly in small or medium warehouses, and other small indoor environments. The electric pallet jacks are also known as pallet stacker, is a perfect tool for small lifting tasks that do not require large forklift with lot of power. It disposes with sufficient amount of power from its electrical battery to lift, push, pull and move pallets. The battery enables the forklift to operate for several hours continually. The charging process is very simple: The worker only needs to attach the cables of the battery to a power source.

Listed below are the benefits of these pallet jacks:

Cover larger distances quickly

These jacks are ideal for shifting bigger weights over larger distances at a much rapid speed. Perfect for moving low entry skids with a low height of 51mm. They are also suitable for CHEP or LOSCAM pallets and provide optimal results. It can cover a huge distance with minimal effort. In the larger warehouses one can get the workers work faster as the pallets are transferred smoothly from end to the other. These pallet jacks are operated by electricity allows them to perform without any difficulty or trouble. You would note that they are largely used in smaller warehouses too and in some cases even in the bigger ones. Considering their safety and efficiency benefits these are quite ideal.

Optimal safety and efficacy for workers

Other benefits of these pallet jacks include optimal levels of safety for the workers. The Entry and Exit roller prevent physical exertion of the operator and protect load roller and pallet. Hence, there is less of physical stress on the workers that are operating. Plus as compared to the forklifts that are used in gas powered or diesel powered forklifts, these electric ones are quite safer. There is no environment hazard or risk to the worker. Also, you need not worry about any kind of unbearable noises here too. This again helps in minimizing the interference that is caused the overall efficiency levels are higher too.

Better visibility

Along with the above, you can be rest assured that even though the pallet jacks come in a more compact design, there is not going to be any visibility issues here. With these jacks, the operators can clearly see what’s happening in front of them, which again ensures meticulous performance and also minimizes the risks of getting hurt.

Some of the other points to lookout here include

• Totally sealed hydraulic pump with a slow lowering hand control valve
• Full adjustable push rod under forks
