A hand pallet jack, also known as a hand pallet truck, is a manual tool used to lift and move pallets. It consists of two forks that slide under the pallet and a hydraulic pump that raises the load. This equipment is commonly used in warehouses and retail environments to transport goods efficiently. The hand pallet jack is designed for ease of use, allowing operators to maneuver heavy loads with minimal effort. It typically features a handle that can be pushed or pulled, making it suitable for various tasks, such as loading and unloading trucks or organizing inventory in storage areas.
