What is it?
A pallet jack, also known as a pallet truck or pump truck, is a tool used to lift and move pallets.
The front wheels are mounted inside the end of the forks, and as the hydraulic jack is raised, the forks are separated vertically from the front wheels, forcing the load upward until it clears the floor. The pallet is only lifted enough to clear the floor for subsequent travel.
Do I need to train my
staff to use this?
Absolutely. If you provide a piece of equipment you must also provide a safe system of work, and train in its use. This is a duty of care obligation required by legislation.
If a person is injured, and the incident investigated, one of the first things wanted by an investigator will be evidence that the person has been trained in the equipment being operated.
