The EZ-1 Pallet Truck has the standard pump which requires approximately 8-10 strokes/pumps to lift the forks to their maximum height.

The EZ-7 Quick Lift Pallet truck is designed to lift loads that are 700 lbs or less with only 3-6 strokes. If the load is over 700 lbs then the stroke count will be the same as that of the EZ-1. Because of this the extra expense required to purchase the EZ-7 Quick Lift Pallet truck does not make it beneficial for everyone. This kind of pallet truck is purchased more from companies that move light weight products or loads.
