Wesco Industrial Products 272776 CPII Pallet Truck with Handle, Moldon Nylon Wheels, 5500 lb. Load Capacity, 63" Length x 27" Width x 48" Height

The Wesco Industrial Products 272776 CPII pallet truck is made of steel, has a pump handle and mold-on nylon wheels, and is suitable for lifting and transporting pallets. Steel resists wear and corrosion. The loop-shaped pump handle can be used to jack up the forks and maneuver the pallet truck. The handle is rubber-coated for grip. A trigger on the handle releases and lowers the forks. Nose wheels and the forks' tapered ends facilitate loading. The mold-on nylon wheels support heavy loads and won't mark or scratch floors. Push rods allow the height of each fork to be adjusted in case of an imbalance. The pallet truck has an overload bypass valve for safety. This pallet truck has a load capacity of 5,500 lb., weighs 210 lb., and measures 48 x 27 x 63 inches overall (H x W x L). (H is height, the vertical distance from lowest to highest point; W is width, the horizontal distance from left to right; L is length, the horizontal distance from front to back.) It has a service range of 3 to 8 inches high. The forks are 48" long.

Pallet trucks, also known as pallet jacks, skid jacks, and pump trucks, are used to lift and transport pallets or skids of goods. Pallet trucks can include a swivel pump handle, a squeeze trigger, two forks, and wheels for maneuverability, and typically contain a hydraulic cylinder or a battery-powered motor to raise and lower the forks. Some pallet trucks have an adjustable push rod on the bottom of each fork, allowing the user to modify the height. Pallet trucks can be used in warehouses, storerooms, shipping facilities, and a variety of industrial environments.
