Manual Pallet Trucks
The Manual Pallet Trucks category covers hand-operated units designed to lift wooden or plastic pallets a short distance above the floor and move them horizontally within warehouses and loading areas. Models vary in rated capacity, fork dimensions and wheel design. A manual pallet truck is not a forklift and does not provide elevated vertical stacking capability. Specifications vary across models.

About this category
Manual pallet trucks are ground-level material-handling units featuring two forks that slide beneath a pallet and a hand-operated hydraulic lift mechanism actuated by pumping the tiller handle to raise the pallet a short distance above the floor sufficient for horizontal movement. Models differ in the manufacturer's documented rated capacity, and a single value should not be assumed across the category. Fork dimensions (length and width) vary by model and the pallets targeted. Wheel designs vary and include front steering wheels and rear load wheels in various materials and sizes depending on the model. A pallet truck must be clearly distinguished from a forklift: a manual pallet truck is designed only to raise a pallet a short distance from the floor for horizontal transfer, provides no high vertical stacking capability and carries no operator. Some models may include an integrated load scale depending on design. Full forklifts, ride-on electric trucks and vertical stacking equipment are excluded from this category. Industrial buyers select manual pallet truck models based on rated capacity, fork dimensions, pallet compatibility and site floor conditions.
