The pallet jack is a useful tool to have in material handeling. It has two “forks”, which will go beneath a pallet. You will then lift the forks to get the pallet off the ground so that you can move it. With an electrical pallet, you can do this with a press of a button. A manual pallet jack is just as simple. You will pump the handle to raise the level of the forks. This will lift the pallet up and off the ground. You will then be able to haul it around on your pallet. It’s a good idea to wear some heavy-duty, steel-toed boots while you are working with the pallet jack, just in case it runs over your feet by mistake.
