If your moving large loads around a pallet jack is what you need.\u00a0 Here are some tips to how you can be more productive with a manual pallet jack.<\/strong><\/p>\n

1st<\/strong> you need to get to\u00a0 know the functionality of your pallet jack<\/a>.\u00a0 See how the handle and controls work. Move the handle in its down position to lift the jack.\u00a0 While your in that position bring it back up again and continue the process so your pumping over and over to lift it in its desired position. Now squeeze the handle to lower it to its bottom position.<\/p>\n

2nd <\/strong>While in its lowest position, move it under the pallet your needing to move.\u00a0 You should only have to use minimal force to do this. Make sure your not hitting the pallet, which would not allow you to place the jack completely underneath.<\/p>\n

3rd<\/strong> Raise the pallet by pumping the handle, as was done in step 1.\u00a0 The average amount that you will have to pump is approximately 10-14 times for a standard pallet.\u00a0 Only lift the pallet so that your load isn’t touching the ground.\u00a0 Raising it too high is unnecessary.<\/p>\n

4th <\/strong> Pull the pallet to its desired location. Make sure you have the proper room on the sides of you pallet jack. Pulling is much easier and safer than trying to push.<\/p>\n

5th<\/strong> Once you get to the desired location use the control arm to put it in to place. The control arm makes it easy to maneuver it into tight spots. At this point pushing is the most productive way to use the pallet jack.<\/p>\n

6th <\/strong>Now your almost done.\u00a0 Just squeeze the control handle to lower the load. Make sure its in its lowered position and then pull the pallet jack out.\u00a0 Now your ready to start all over again with any remaining loads.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
