FAQ | What Is A Pallet Jack?

  • What is a pallet jack?


    A pallet jack is the most basic form of forklift and is intended to move pallets in a warehouse or trailer. Pallet jacks are some of the most essential tools found in warehouses and are used for transporting small loads for short distances.
