HIGH-LIFT PALLET JACK TRUCKS
Traditional counterbalance forklifts aren’t always the greatest option for storing goods in your warehouse. When moving pallets, you may want a more compact and nimble equipment. Pallet jacks can help with this. They let you load and unload pallets in small places that need optimum mobility, whether they are motorized or manual.
The high-lift pallet jack, for example, offers the capacity to load and unload from places where regular pallet jacks cannot. While this technique isn’t appropriate for every case, it may be highly useful in others. The following are the most significant advantages of utilizing this sort of pallet jack in your warehouse.
1.Completion of a Variety of Tasks
High lift pallet trucks offer the benefit of being appropriate for a wide range of warehouse jobs that go beyond what a typical pallet jack can perform. This equipment can load or unload pallets from lofty places in the warehouse. Pallets may be able to be stored on extra pallet racking shelves, allowing you to enhance the quantity of storage in your warehouse.
2.Efficiency in terms of cost
Pallet jacks are less costly in general than standard counterbalance forklifts. Because they are smaller, easier to run, and maintain than their bigger equivalents, they have lower operating and maintenance expenses. However, the high-lift pallet jack, in particular, might help your warehouse save money. How? Because it has all of the cost-cutting advantages of a standard pallet jack, plus the utility and adaptability stated above.
3.Access to difficult-to-reach areas.
A high-lift pallet jack, as the name suggests, has a longer reach than a standard pallet jack. This ability is provided via a scissor lift: Metal supports that crisscross to lift and lower the machine’s platform. This pallet jack’s scissor lift feature allows it to raise and lower pallets from previously unreachable areas. The pallet jack’s inherently compact form combines with its ability to access difficult-to-reach areas. As a consequence, vertical storage may be implemented and used with minimum space between aisles.
4.Injury Risk is Reduced.
Over time, repetitive motions such as bending and extending to select orders or load and unload pallets might cause damage in your personnel. These injuries can result in higher worker compensation expenses, more downtime, and emotional anguish for the personnel involved. Furthermore, employees may find frequent bending and stretching to be time-consuming and unpleasant, resulting in decreased productivity and morale.
