One of the top equipment requirements for industrial facilities such as warehouses, distribution centers, plants, and factories are devices that are designed to lift and transport heavy loads. Top-quality forklifts handle many of these tasks excellently, but their price tag often is cost-prohibitive. Well-made hand trucks and carts often work very well for transporting relatively light loads, but neither of these pieces of equipment possesses a lifting capability. Very frequently, the lifting and transporting equipment of choice for many companies is the hand lift pallet and skid jack. Please take a few moments to read the following brief article to gain an overview of hand lift pallet and skid jack and how they can be highly efficient, cost-effective, and ergonomically smart equipment for your industrial facility.

A material handling dilemma faced by managers of a number of industrial companies is that they have a good deal of daily heavy lifting tasks that need to be done, and yet the $10,000-and-up price of a forklift is not in the budget. An excellent solution to this problem is purchasing a hand lift pallet. This highly durable piece of lifting equipment costs a fraction of the price of a typical fork lift truck and yet works excellently for a many industrial heavy lifting needs. Hand lift pallet and skid jacks with a fork over design, in fact, are often superior to fork lift trucks in one important aspect: they usually can be maneuvered more easily in tight, congested work areas. Rolling on two rear wheels along with two front casters, these portable product lifts are designed to be moved around distribution centers, factories, and warehouses by a single worker.

Serving as a very efficient, cost-effective lifting and transporting alternative to forklifts, hand lift pallet are constructed of heavy-duty steel along with highly durable aluminum and feature capacities of up to 500 pounds. This capability to transport loads of this weight makes these lift trucks clearly superior to hand trucks or carts for this aspect of their function. The hand lift pallet, in addition, is more effective at holding loads securely during transport than the typical hand truck. Another key advantage of hand winch lift trucks over carts or hand trucks is that they are excellent load lifting as well as transporting equipment.

Hand lift pallets raise their loads via a hand-crank winch. Many top lift truck models feature raised fork heights of upwards of 9.5 feet, enabling them to remove materials from and place materials onto high shelving. Another key feature of these lift trucks is that they are well designed ergonomically and are far superior from an injury-prevention standpoint than having workers lift and move heavy materials manually. By significantly lowering the chance of employee injury or strain, lift trucks reduce health care and worker’s compensation costs as well as instances of injury-caused absenteeism. By significantly reducing lifting-related injuries, these lift trucks also work to boost worker morale and help increase workforce efficiency. For these reasons, hand winch lift trucks are an excellent, cost-effective solution to many industrial facilities’ lifting and transporting needs. It is the customer’s responsibility to verify correctness of fit for applications.
