Palettikärry

Palettikärry, also known as a pallet jack or hand pallet truck, is a tool used to lift and move pallets. It is a simple mechanical device consisting of a hydraulic pump, a lifting mechanism, and wheels. The forks of the palettikärry are inserted under the pallet, and the pump is operated to lift the pallet off the ground. Once lifted, the palettikärry can be used to transport the pallet to its desired location.

Palettikärryt are commonly found in warehouses, distribution centers, and retail stores where goods are stored and moved on pallets. They are an essential piece of equipment for material handling, allowing workers to efficiently move heavy loads without the need for powered machinery. Their compact size and maneuverability make them suitable for use in tight spaces and narrow aisles.

There are various types of palettikärryt available, including manual and electric models. Manual palettikärryt rely on human power to operate the hydraulic pump and move the load. Electric palettikärryt, on the other hand, are powered by a battery and motor, reducing the physical effort required for operation. Some advanced models also offer features like automatic braking and load stabilization.

The capacity of a palettikärry varies depending on the model, with some capable of lifting loads up to several tons. Regular maintenance, such as checking the hydraulic fluid level and lubricating the moving parts, is important to ensure the safe and efficient operation of a palettikärry.
