When Should You Choose a Manual Hydraulic Pallet Jack?

Manual pallet trucks are typically suitable when:

  • Pallets are moved over relatively short distances.
  • Operating frequency is moderate.
  • Charging and battery maintenance are not desired.
  • Simple operation and low maintenance are priorities.
  • The working area has firm, level floors.

For longer travel distances or frequent high-throughput material handling, an electric pallet truck may be more appropriate.

FAQ of Hand Pallet Truck

1. Which fork width should I choose?

The correct fork width depends on the distance between the pallet openings.

The 540 mm overall fork width is suitable for narrower pallet openings, while the 680 mm version is designed for wider pallet configurations. Measure the internal pallet opening before selecting a model.

2. Should I choose 1,150 mm or 1,220 mm forks?

The 1,150 mm forks are commonly selected for standard European pallet-handling applications. The 1,220 mm forks provide additional support for deeper or wider pallet configurations.

The forks should support the load correctly without extending excessively beyond the pallet.

3. Which wheel material is available?

The AC Series can be supplied with nylon or polyurethane load wheels. Steering-wheel options include nylon, polyurethane and rubber.

Polyurethane wheels are generally preferred for quieter operation and floor protection. Nylon wheels are suitable for durable industrial use and offer low rolling resistance. The most suitable wheel depends on the floor condition, operating environment and noise requirements.

4. Can the AC Series be used with different pallet standards?

Yes, provided that the pallet openings are compatible with the selected fork width, fork length and minimum fork height.

Before ordering, please provide the pallet length, width, opening height and distance between the pallet openings. Our team can help confirm the correct configuration.

5. What applications is this hand pallet truck suitable for?

The AC Series is suitable for short-distance pallet movement in:

  • Warehouses
  • Distribution centers
  • Manufacturing facilities
  • Retail stockrooms
  • Loading and unloading areas
  • Packaging and assembly operations

It is designed for use on firm, level floors.

6. Can the pallet truck be used on uneven ground?

The standard AC Series should be operated on a firm and level surface. It should not be used around holes, severe bumps, drop-offs, loose debris or unstable ground.

For outdoor or uneven-surface applications, an all-terrain pallet truck may be more suitable.

7. Hand Pallet Truck, Pallet Jack or Hydraulic Trolley?

The terms hand pallet truck, pallet jack and pallet trolley are often used to describe similar manual pallet-handling equipment. “Pallet jack” is particularly common in the United States, while “hand pallet truck” and “hydraulic pallet truck” are widely used in international material-handling markets.

The i-Lift AC Series is a manually operated hydraulic model, so buyers may also refer to it as a hand operated pallet jack, hydraulic hand pallet truck, or manual hydraulic pallet truck trolley.

8. What maintenance does a manual pallet truck require?

Regular maintenance should include cleaning the truck, lubricating moving joints, checking the hydraulic unit, inspecting the wheels and rollers, tightening loose fasteners and checking the lowering mechanism.

The truck should be stored with the forks fully lowered and without a load.

9. Can i-Lift customize the pallet truck?

Custom requirements can be evaluated according to the order quantity and application. Available options may include fork dimensions, wheel materials, product color, branding, labels and packaging.

Please provide your pallet dimensions, load weight, operating environment and expected order quantity for evaluation.

10. What information is required for an accurate quotation?

Please provide:

  • Required load capacity
  • Pallet dimensions
  • Required fork length and overall fork width
  • Minimum pallet-entry height
  • Preferred wheel material
  • Order quantity
