In order to move heavy loads, man has come up with numerous interesting inventions, one of which is the powered pallet truck also known as a power pallet truck, pallet jack or power pallet jack.
They are simply constructed and versatile allowing the user to move heavy material and stacked pallets safely. They are great for indoor use since they don’t emit hazardous fumes and are manufactured from strong extruded aluminum, special alloys or steel. They are primarily designed to transport of heavier loads while allowing for greater maneuverability in small spaces.
Walk behind
Most are called "walk behinds" in other words a person can walk behind the manual or power pallet truck while pushing the load. Linde Material Handling, Raymond and Toyota are leading industry names in the pallet truck market, along with Mitsubishi, Hyster and Atlet. Safety should be a prime concern so the following tips will be invaluable to our purchase decision. The fitted spring loaded handle that returns to the "up" position when not in use while a "dead man" switch integrated into the handle causing the motor to shut off when not in use. They are also fitted with a horn to warn others of its movements and certain manufacturers even produce safety videos which are imperative to staff consideration.
Front wheels on power and manual palette jacks are mounted inside the end of the forks and the hydraulic jack raises the load until it clears the floor. Powered pallet jacks generally contain a platform for the user to stand during the warehouse or loading/unloading trucks process. The machine is moved by a throttle on the handle to move forward or in reverse and steered by swinging the handle in the intended direction.
The Model EPT-15 electric powered battery pallet truck is the smallest fully electric powered 1500kg pallet truck in the world requiring little maintenance and does 5 km/h unladen speed with a 1500kg capacity. The fork lengths approximate 1150mm (45") with a width of 520mm (21") and Vulkollan wheels. Its heavy duty handle has audible warning, progressive acceleration and braking controls and is suitable for all common pallet sizes/types with a 60 a/hr maintenance free batteries and 12 month warranty.
Market Innovations
Wal-Mart recently completes beta trials for a hydrogen-powered electric palette trucks in two of its Ohio-based distribution centers. This zero-emission, hydrogen fuel cell-powered pallet truck exceeded uptime, fueling, environmental and safety targets.
Cellex Power Products Inc. are the hydrogen fuel cells supplier with associated trial companies such as BOC, a member of The Linde Group for hydrogen fuel, Ballard Power Systems Inc. for Mark9 SSL fuel cell stacks, OKI Systems for service and support as well as Crown Equipment Corp. and Nissan Barrett for pallet trucks.
Moving away from the dated DC applications, Mitsubishi has continued its use of AC technology by employing an AC motor in its new pedestrian power pallet trucks. This AC driven model motor means greatly increased power over its DC counterpart, including improved traction and ramp performance. This dual excited motor technology means maximum torque in all circumstances with auto braking on slopes to ensure safe gradient handling.
