What is a Hydraulic Hand Pallet Truck?

Hydraulic Hand Pallet Truck is one of the types of lift trucks used for lifting, shifting, and lowering palletized loads. It is a wheeled trolley designed to operate under a hydraulic mechanism. It has the truck’s tapered fork slot underneath the pallet and the pump handle for raising and lowering the load.

The pallet truck is common equipment in warehouses and other places where wooden pallets are used. Some people call it pallet jack, pallet pump, or pump truck.  There are different types of Hydraulic Hand Pallet Trucks depending on the needs. You can get a manual or electrical pallet truck.

How does Hydraulic Hand Pallet Truck work?

It works through the hydraulic mechanism. This involves raise, neutral and lower operation mechanisms. The operator pushes the actuating lever down and pumps the handle up and down to desired pallet height. To raise the load, the operator pushes the actuating lever up and down until the pallet reaches the desired height.  The operator will ensure there is a clearance of an inch between the floor and pallet before moving the load.

To move the load, the operator engages actuating lever in a neutral or middle position. This is done to disengage the lifting mechanism letting the handle-free from hydraulic resistance. At this position, the fork remains raised. To lower the load, the operator pulls actuating lever past the neutral position.

There Are Common Terms Such as Load Capacity, Fork Length, Lift Height, Wheel Selection, Unit Height, and Environment. What Do These Terms Mean?

These are terms are mainly used in the description of the pallet truck quality.

Load capacity is the maximum load weight that a pallet truck can handle. There can be different sizes of trucks hence different load capacities. This is the loaded pallet truckload specification. It cannot be exceeded.

Fork length is the length of the pallet truck forks. The most common size is 40 by 48 inches so that it can accommodate a pallet size of 48 inches long. This determines the type and size of the pallet to use

Lift height is the maximum distance a pallet truck can raise a palletized load. This height range is 3-8 feet.

Wheel selection involves choosing the pallet truck wheels. The quality of Pallet truck wheels varies with manufacturer and material. They can be either polyurethane or rubber in a single or tandem design.  Polyurethane is the best because it is non-staining, durable, and suited for heavy loads, unlike rubber. Single fork wheel is suitable for lighter load whereas tandem is for heavy load.

Unit or base weight is the total weight of the hydraulic hand pallet truck. Unit weight is an indicator of quality because it reflects the strength and durability of the truck.

Environment refers to external operation conditions of the pallet truck.  It can be rough or smooth. CUBLiFT offers different types of pallet trucks suitable for different environments such as rough terrain, moist and corrosive conditions.
