A Hand Pallet Truck (also known as a pallet jack or pallet lifter) is a manual material handling tool used to lift and move pallets within warehouses, factories, and retail stores. It consists of a sturdy frame, a hydraulic pump, and forks that slide under pallets. By pumping the handle, the hydraulic system raises the load for easy transportation. Hand pallet trucks are cost-effective, easy to operate, and ideal for short-distance material movement.
