Jekketraller

Jekketraller, also known as pallet jacks or pump trucks, are simple mechanical devices used to lift and move pallets. They are typically operated manually by a person who pumps a handle to raise the forks and then pushes or pulls the device to transport the load. The lifting mechanism usually involves a hydraulic system.

The primary function of a jekketralle is to facilitate the movement of goods stacked on pallets within warehouses, distribution centers, and retail environments. They offer a cost-effective and maneuverable solution for short-distance transport where a forklift might be impractical or unnecessary. Jekketraller come in various types, including manual, semi-electric, and fully electric models, each offering different levels of assistance and lifting capacity.

Manual jekketraller are the most basic and require physical effort for both lifting and moving. Semi-electric versions assist with lifting but still require manual pushing or pulling. Fully electric jekketraller, also known as electric pallet trucks, provide powered lifting and propulsion, significantly reducing operator fatigue and increasing efficiency for larger loads or longer distances.

Safety considerations when using jekketraller include ensuring the load is balanced and within the device's weight capacity, maintaining clear pathways, and operating at a safe speed. Proper training is often recommended to ensure safe and effective use.
