A pallet truck, also know as a pallet jack or pump jack, is a manually powered fork truck designed to lift and move heavy materials. The front wheels are placed on the inside near the forks at the front. At the back is a hydraulic jack which is used to lift the pallet off the floor.
How do use a pallet truck?
Being manually powered the person operating the truck pushes the forks into the pallet, and then uses the jack part of the truck to ‘jack’ up the pallet off the floor to a certain height required. Once the pallet has been lifted the operator can then move the truck where ever they wish, the pallet is only listed off the ground so it can be moved, and so a foot or so is usually normally.
Powered pallet trucks
Pallet trucks are also available powered. It is the same principle as a manual pallet truck except instead of the operator having to jack up the pallets the machine lifts it for you via controls. This is easier to use as the machine does most of the work for you and they can lift heavier pallets if required.
Who uses pallet trucks?
Generally speaking pallet trucks are used by people who are suppliers and work in warehouses. This can be in a variety of fields such as food and drink, clothing, computers, machinery and so on. Any industry that requires moving about large and heavy pallets of products will use a pallet truck.
How much do pallet trucks cost?
Many companies will differ slightly in the cost of their pallet trucks, and depending on the type of pallet truck will alter the cost as well. You will be able to pick up a regular pallet truck for around £130. Searching online or visiting different shops you’ll be able to gain more of an idea of the prices available.

Peter Gitundu asked:
If you are into the business of plowing snow it is important to know the right kind of materials that your plow truck will need. Plow trucks are usually found in city streets especially after a heavy session of snow. What is important to note that the plow truck is just an ordinary truck with a plow attached to it!
The decision to what kind of snow plow your truck should have is yours; however you must choose the right kind of plowing materials wisely because it would mean you coming back to buy new materials every time or just a one time buy.
When buying the snow plowing materials it’s always wise to look for sturdy materials such as the kind that Meyer’s offers or boss plow does. The blade of the plow must be strong and the coating on it must be the kind that does not get corrosion or need repainting or shining all the time. The plow must be able to withstand the impact of hitting a boulder or a tough, hard surface without shattering or breaking. Make sure your machinery is easily maneuverable and can be operated without any fuss. Another added bonus would be if it is able to cut through ice without any problems.
Plow trucks are many especially during the winter season, so if you have to be ahead in the game it is best that you do good work and the only way you can do that is if you put the right stuff on your plowing truck that will do the job right and have the city calling you back for more plowing jobs.

The Regular Pallet Truck
As in its name this is the standard type of pallet truck that is available. The idea of a regular pallet truck is to easily move heavy loads around as you wish, you slide the 2 front forks into the pallet or underneath the load you are lifting, use the jack to ‘jack’ it up off the floor, and then use the handle to steer the load where you need it to be. Once in position you can lower the load to the floor.
Low Profile Pallet Trucks
This is essentially the same as a regular pallet truck except it is more specialized to lifting ultra-low crates or pallets or equipment off the floor such as vending machines, gaming machines, filing cabinets and other furniture.
Rough Terrain Pallet Trucks
This pallet truck is designed to cope with very rough and uneven ground. Where the ordinary pallet truck would have difficulty with the ground and travelling on the flooring, the rough terrain pallet truck would handle this a lot more easily. This machine would be more suitable on building sites for example.
Reel Carrying Pallet Trucks
These are specially designed for carrying horizontal cylindrical loads such as paper reels, rolled carpets, cable drums and so on. It works in the same way as the regular pallet truck except you can easily slide the fork into the cylindrical load and carry it to wherever necessary.
Weighing Scales Pallet Trucks
As in the name this pallet truck features weighing scales. Powered by batteries any load that is lifted with the pallet truck will calculate weight which is sometimes necessary.
Galvanised & Stainless Pallet Trucks
These are pallet trucks made from stainless steel. These pallet trucks are a lot more suited to the food industry or any industry where corrosive acids and saline solutions are used regularly. The galvanised and stainless steel protects the pallet truck from these substances and so the turck stays in better form.
