When one pauses to think about it, a key element of a modern industrial business, apart from the actual manufacturing of its products, is simply transporting products and other materials from one place to another. For the millions who are employed in industrial settings, a type of transportation equipment that often comes to mind, apart from trucks and semi trailers, is the equipment designed to move products and other items within a facility. Here we have item-transporting equipment ranging from high-capacity, heavy-duty forklifts to lightweight hand trucks that cost well under a hundred dollars. Yet between the opposite ends of the spectrum of high- and low-capacity transportation equipment lie what is very often the optimum cost-effective choice for most business managers: the manual lift pallet jack. Please take a few brief moments to read the following brief article concerning the excellent attributes of this important type of portable product lift.

A key reason that many smart industrial business managers invest in hand winch lift trucks is their high performance and durability compared with their relatively modest purchase cost. The straddle stacker manual lift pallet jack is a heavy-duty, long-lasting piece of material handling equipment that can be bought for roughly 10 percent of the cost of a forklift. Also known as a product lifter or product lift, the manual lift pallet jack performs excellently at lifting and transporting heavy loads in industrial settings such as distribution centers, warehouses, factories, and plants. These manual lift pallet jacks very often are top-notch alternatives to forklifts facilities where a forklift’s price tag is not in the budget. The manual lift pallet jack in fact is superior in performance to a forklift in one often-important aspect: it usually can be maneuvered more easily in tight, congested spaces, including narrow isles.

Top-quality manual lift pallet jacks are constructed of heavy-duty steel along with high-durability aluminum. Their loads are raised by means of a hand crank winch, with top models designed to handle items at heights of up to 9.5 feet. This enables workers to use them to place and remove loads from high shelving, in addition to using them as product transportation equipment. Manual lift pallet jacks also feature capacities of up to 500 pounds. This capability to efficiently lift and transport loads of such weights makes them far superior in this respect to carts and hand trucks. In addition, they also can hold loads more securely than a typical hand truck

Manual lift pallet jacks roll on two front casters and two rear wheels and are designed to be operated manually by a single worker. They make the dock-to-trailer-bed crossing very efficiently and thus are excellent for cargo loading and unloading. An additional, very important aspect of the hand winch lift truck is that it is very well designed ergonomically, making its use far superior from an injury-prevention standpoint than having workers manually lift loads onto carts or hand trucks. By lowering the chance of worker strain or injury, these product lifts work to reduce a company’s worker’s compensation and health care costs. It is the customer’s responsibility to verify correctness of fit for applications.
