A hand pallet jack is used to easily move pallets and is typically a required tool within the material handling industry that is used in the warehouse or organizing pallets inside small spaces such as a truck trailer. Hand pallet jacks are often referenced as manual pallet jacks, hand pallet trucks, pump trucks, jiggers, hand trucks, or manual forklifts. All of these terms refer to the hand pallet jack offered by Toyota Material Handling.
Toyota’s Hand Pallet Jacks are built with quality parts and a durable frame to ensure a low cost of ownership while maximizing uptime. With two wheel options, companies can choose the hand pallet jack that makes the most sense for their operation. The nylon wheel option is a tough jack that is resistant to damage from debris and spills for all your backroom or receiving operation needs. The polyurethane wheel option is a jack that makes pulling products through retail environments easy and convenient with a quiet and smooth operation that won’t damage floors.
Toyota’s Hand Pallet Jacks can be used in a wide variety of industries, including general warehousing, food and freezer storage, beverage, general manufacturing, and retail. Toyota’s useful and durable hand pallet jacks are made to assist with all of your lighter loads.
Toyota Hand Pallet Jacks have a weight limit of 5,500 pounds (2,500 kg), which is the industry standard for heavy-duty hand pallet jacks. This capacity rating assumes evenly distributed loads at the standard 24-inch load center. Exceeding this weight limit can damage the hydraulic system, bend the forks, and create serious safety hazards. Always check the capacity plate on your specific model and never exceed the rated capacity.
Toyota’s standard Hand Pallet Jack (HPT28U) has a lowered fork height of ~3.0 in** and a raised height of ~7.75 in. Toyota also offers low-profile variants with lowered heights near 2.0 in (capacity lower than the base model). Be sure to check the spec sheet for your configuration.
