    When a Hand Pallet Truck Is the Right Tool for the Job

    Hand pallet trucks handle the work that doesn't justify a forklift. Short moves. Staging and positioning. Loading and unloading delivery trucks. Backup coverage when a powered unit is down for service.

     

    They're the right call in retail stockrooms, tight aisles, dock areas, and any operation where a powered unit is more equipment than the job requires. No batteries to charge, no chargers to install, no waiting on a unit to come back up.

     

    For most operations, a manual jack isn't a compromise — it's the correct tool for a specific set of tasks that happen every day.

     

    Call 800-926-2546 with your application and we'll tell you whether a manual unit covers it.

How a Hydraulic Pallet Jack Works — and What Makes One Last

A hydraulic pallet jack lifts through a hand-pumped cylinder. The operator slides the forks into the pallet, pumps the handle to raise the load a few inches off the floor, and moves it into position.

The mechanism is simple. What separates a jack that runs for a decade from one that fails in eighteen months is the engineering built around it.

    Productivity

    Fork tip entry rollers ease the transition over the bottom pallet boards, so operators aren't fighting the pallet on every entry.

    Durability

    Adjustable tubular push rods and self-lubricating bushings minimize wear at the points that fail first on lower-grade equipment.

    Ergonomics

    A teardrop handle with a 3-way position lever gives operators precise load control without excess effort.

Raymond's cast one-piece hydraulic pumps are built to reduce service requirements over the life of the unit — a design decision that matters more the harder you run the equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions About Pallet Jacks

Learn more about electric and manual pallet jacks, lift capacities, rider models, lithium-ion power, and warehouse picking technology.

What is the difference between an electric pallet jack and a manual pallet jack?

A manual pallet jack relies on the operator for both lifting and horizontal movement. Manual pallet jacks are best suited for light-duty, short-distance tasks. An electric pallet jack uses a battery-powered motor for both functions, reducing operator fatigue and improving throughput in horizontal transport and order-picking applications.

What types of powered pallet trucks does Malin offer?

Malin offers the full Raymond 8000 Series, including the 8210 and 8310 walkie pallet trucks, the 8250 lithium-ion model, the 8410 and 8910 end rider models, the 8510 center rider, the 8810 side-entry pallet truck, and the 8720 second-level order picker.

What lift capacities are available for electric pallet jacks?

Capacities range from 4,500 pounds on the 8210 walkie model to 8,000 pounds on heavier-duty walkie and rider models. The 8250 lithium-ion model is rated at 5,000 pounds. Multiple frame lengths and widths are available to accommodate different pallet sizes and aisle configurations.

What is the difference between a walkie pallet jack and a rider pallet jack?

A walkie pallet jack is operated by a pedestrian walking alongside the truck. These models are well suited for shorter runs and tighter spaces.

A rider model has a platform for the operator to stand on, making it a better choice for longer transport distances and high-volume order fulfillment where travel time is a key efficiency factor.

Are lithium-ion pallet jacks better than traditional battery-powered models?

Lithium-ion powered pallet trucks support opportunity charging without battery damage, deliver consistent power throughout the shift without voltage drop, and require no watering. The Raymond 8250 is built specifically around these benefits. These pallet jacks are a strong option for demanding, multi-shift operations.

Which pallet jack is best for high-volume warehouse order picking?

Rider models such as the 8410 end rider and 8510 center rider reduce operator fatigue on long travel routes and increase picks per hour. The 8720 second-level order picker adds access to second- and third-load-beam levels. Pairing these models with the Pick2Pallet LED system can further improve accuracy in batch-picking applications.

Do electric pallet jacks include advanced picking technologies like pick-to-light systems?

Yes. Raymond electric pallet jacks are compatible with the Pick2Pallet LED Light System, a put-to-light solution embedded directly into the forks. LED lights guide operators to the correct pallet during batch picking, reducing errors and increasing picking speeds without disrupting workflow.
