A manual hand pallet truck is a fundamental tool in material handling, designed to simplify the movement and transportation of palletized goods with manual operation. It is widely used across various industries, including warehousing, retail, manufacturing, logistics, and construction, due to its simplicity, reliability, and cost-effectiveness. This equipment is essential for businesses of all sizes, from small stores to large industrial facilities, as it allows operators to move heavy pallets with minimal effort, reducing the risk of workplace injuries and improving overall operational efficiency. The basic design of a manual hand pallet truck consists of a set of forks that slide under a pallet, a handle for steering and operating the lifting mechanism, and a hydraulic system that raises and lowers the forks. The forks are typically made from high-strength steel, designed to support heavy loads—ranging from 1,500 kg to 3,000 kg or more—without bending or breaking. They are spaced to fit standard pallet sizes, but some models feature adjustable forks that can be widened or narrowed to accommodate different pallet dimensions, adding to the truck's versatility. The frame of the truck is also constructed from robust steel, ensuring durability and stability even when carrying maximum loads.
