pallet jack A traditional pallet jack capable of lifting between 4,500 and 5,500 pounds is able to easily manage the vast majority of the loads that are encountered in normal material handling situations. However, the loads being transported are not standard in a vast spectrum of manufacturing, heavy industrial, aerospace, defence, energy and infrastructure industries. They are, generally, heavy — sometimes rather heavy. When you're using previously manufactured products on loads that are beyond their capacity, the repercussions are not simply annoying. They can be really harmful. A standard pallet jack will not work if it is overloaded. They fail hydraulically. They fail structurally. They fail in ways which lead to the serious risk of loss, facilities and, most importantly, people. There is really only one safe, compliant and operationally successful solution for moving heavy, oversized or non-standard loads, and that's a high capacity custom pallet jack , and when it comes t...

pallet truck Those that are used for industrial pallet movement are based on one basic principle: that the load is a standard pallet, in standard condition, moving under standard conditions (smooth, level floor, proper aisle width and clearance). For most of the applications where pallets are handled, the assumption holds true. However, this is not true in manufacturing, food processing, pharmaceutical manufacture, clean room, cold store and specialist industrial applications — frequently in a manner that is blatant and disruptive to a company's operations. The width of the pallet is too great. The floor surface is challenging. A traditional painted steel truck cannot maintain the integrity of the environment that it needs to operate in. A turning radius is required which is not available with a conventional model. The load is not handled in a standard way and it is not safe to transport it with a standard truck. That's where a special application pallet truck can become not on...

If your operation has expanded since you purchased your material handling equipment, it's a question you should consider asking. When your floor receives a heavier load and increased throughput, what worked well for lighter loads and slower throughput can quickly become a problem — or a safety issue. Equipment operating beyond maximum specifications. Wear accelerates. Things are bound to go wrong on the worst possible days. The price of such a mismatch is not cheap. The solution isn't working around inadequate equipment. It is going to be replaced by something that was made for the purpose. At Superlift Material Handling, they specialize in the ideal material handling solution for facilities across an industry, one that addresses their actual operational needs, versus only the minimum requirements five years ago. What Makes a 6,000 lb Pallet Truck the Right Call for Many Facilities It's no surprise that heavy-duty pallet trucks are becoming more common on serious industrial...

electric pallet jack Most facilities start out with a basic pallet jack. It's for lighter loads, easy to use and it takes little up. For a time, it is ok. But operations grow. Products get heavier. Throughput increases. Then one of those regular pallet jacks, for some reason, is having trouble keeping up or is a safety hazard on the floor! It's here that the choice of right equipment comes into play — and it will cost you if you choose the wrong one. For years, Superlift Material Handling has been assisting facilities in making the right decision on heavy duty material handling equipment. They know that not all loads are created equal, and not all pallet jacks are designed for the load your floor needs.  Why Capacity Is the Number That Matters Most If you deal with heavy loads each day, this isn't a figure you can see on a data sheet. It's a matter of smoothness or constant danger. The electric pallet jack is designed for heavy lifting, which is something that the stand...
