A pallet jack is a simple yet essential tool used in warehouses and stores to lift and move heavy pallets. It consists of two forks that slide under the pallet and a handle that allows the operator to lift and steer the load. This makes it easier to transport goods without the need for a forklift, especially in tight spaces. Pallet jacks come in manual and electric versions. The manual type requires the user to pump the handle to lift the pallet, while the electric version uses a battery to do the heavy lifting. Both types help improve efficiency and reduce physical strain on workers.
