The reason we list the weight of the pallet jack

The reason we list the weight of the pallet jack comes from the simple reason that major lift truck manufacturers make claims about the quality and durability of their equipment based on weight. for example, CNMHE regularly compares the weight of its electric pallet trucks to other manufacturers to claim quality and durability. Also, steel is heavy and expensive. The more steel in a pallet truck might indicate a reason for a higher price. Conversely, we would expect a lighter pallet truck to cost less.
Pallet Truck Features
It would be confusing to list all the feature claims by all the manufacturers of pallet trucks. Therefore, we have listed the key features we see as prominent and relevant for a comparison. For example, grease-able bushings: These are the little metal sleeves inside the axles and pivot points on a pallet truck. The manufacturer is offering you the ability to extend the life of the pallet jack and in our view is a sign of durability. However, you have to remember to grease the bushings. If you don’t the bushings and the jack will wear out.
