How to use a pallet truck

Pallet trucks are designed to be used with standard wooden pallets. In order to move a load using a pallet truck, you must first place that load on a pallet and secure it using suitable load restraint products.

Once your load has been restrained, you can manoeuvre your pallet truck into place, sliding the forks into the gaps provided for this purpose. You can then use the truck's pump-action handle to raise the pallet up off the ground.

Pallet pump trucks make it easy to move loads around your premises while eliminating many of the risks associated with heavy lifting.
