pallet truck

Warehouse floor lifter

A pallet truck is a wheeled device for lifting and moving pallets short distances, typically within warehouses or loading docks.

The operator slides two low forks under a pallet, pumps a handle to raise the load slightly off the ground, then wheels it to its destination.

Also called a pallet jack.
