Pallet trucks and pallet moving equipment have a flat surface and some sort of lifting mechanism. They are used to lift and move stacked or heavily loaded pallets throughout a facility. Pallet jacks, also known as pallet trucks, feature long forks to support pallets from underneath, and have wheels, handles, and hydraulic or electric lift capabilities that allow users to move pallets with little effort. Pallet lifters and tilters use a fork design to maneuver crates, pallets and boxes into working position. Pallet positioners and level loaders have a flat table-like surface that raises, lowers, tilts, and rotates freight.
Lifting equipment raises and positions freight for access, loading, and storage. Lifting tables, pallet positioners, and level loaders position freight at an ergonomic height for packing or assembly jobs. Material lifts move heavy loads on the loading dock, in the warehouse, and at the jobsite. Pallet lifters and tilters maneuver crates, pallets and boxes into a working position. Cylinder lift trucks move cylinders into place on a welder.
