Choose from the following list of premium pallet jacks and pallet trucks:
- Manual pallet trucks: Manual pallet trucks are one of the most economical options for moving pallets indoors because they greatly reduce the amount of work and strain required to lift a load to a certain height. From low profile to high lift, standard or high capacity, wide fork or narrow fork, Cherry's Material Handling has a great selection of manual pallet trucks available. Our manual units are simple to use and provide excellent lifting capacity at a price that fits just about any budget.
- Electric pallet trucks: Electric pallet trucks deliver a healthy return on your investment thanks to their precision and automation capabilities — key features that can help you decrease rework, boost productivity and increase on-the-job safety. Cherry's Industrial offers you light- to heavy-duty electric pallet truck models for your industrial facility or warehouse. Models in our inventory include the PTE33N-2745 standard electric pallet jack, E30 light-duty electric pallet truck and the top-of-the-line WPT45 electric pallet truck for superior loading and unloading.
- Specialty pallet trucks: You want to use these amazing movers whenever a standard model won’t do, such as in close confines where a smaller footprint is required, or when handling delicate, oversized or unbalanced items. Several available products offer shorter fork lengths, wider bases and other unique features that make them suitable for specialty applications. You'll find single-fork and adjustable-fork pallet trucks as well as roll and reel models in a range of sizes, capacities and configurations.
- All-terrain pallet trucks: When the terrain gets tough, you need to get tougher material handling equipment. Our all-terrain pallet trucks feature innovations that roll over difficult terrains, such as pneumatic wheels, gas- and electric-powered engines and hydrostatic transmissions that make navigating rough terrain risk-free. Our all-terrain pallet trucks are the perfect movers for places like gravel pits, outdoor construction sites and other environments where reliable performance is key. These user-friendly off-road pallet jacks cut down training times and improve the performance of operators of all experience levels.

Importance of Using Labor-Saving Equipment in the Workplace
Having labor-saving equipment in the workplace offers considerable advantages to safety, performance and efficiency. Here are some of the labor-saving benefits of pallet trucks for your operations:
1. Reduce Rates of Injury
Labor-saving equipment like pallet trucks helps improve employee safety in the workplace. In the absence of a forklift or pallet truck, if employees lift and carry product manually, they risk serious injury. Repeated bending and lifting activities put excessive stress on the muscles and joints and can lead to repetitive stress injuries, which are common causes of employee injuries and work absences. But, when pallet trucks do the heavy lifting, employees are more likely to remain healthy.
2. Reduced Losses
Employee injuries and associated absenteeism can cost companies greatly. U.S. industries spend around $1.5 billion a year on the direct costs of musculoskeletal injuries, such as insurance payments, and another $1.1 billion in indirect costs, such as lost productivity and the need to pay additional workers. But the use of labor-saving equipment like pallet trucks can help reduce these numbers and keep businesses profitable.
3. Increased Efficiency
One of the great benefits of using labor-saving equipment is how pallet trucks improve efficiency in the workplace. Employees can spend countless hours transporting a couple pallets at a time by hand, but this method wastes time and exhausts workers, making them less alert and effective. Alternatively, pallet trucks can move heavy pallets quickly and easily, making employees more energetic and efficient in their work.
4. Boosted Productivity
When companies are considering how to improve productivity, pallet trucks offer a reliable solution by providing a quick, easy way to move heavily laden pallets. This solution helps enhance productivity by freeing employees to spend time on other tasks and get more done throughout the day.
5. Increased Scheduling Coverage
Using pallet trucks makes it easy to adapt to changing employee availability. If employees are out sick or taking personal time off, or if your organization is experiencing high turnover, you'll be able to adapt easily to absences because of the efficiency and productivity benefits your pallet trucks provide.
6. Enhanced Response to Increased Market Demands
Without the use of pallet trucks, increased demand for particular products could overwhelm your facility's capacity to keep up. Even with their best efforts, employees can move only so fast, especially if they must transport various kinds of product by hand. Pallet trucks give your company the speed, power and efficiency necessary to efficiently transport whatever product and material is required.
7. Improved Employee Morale and Well-Being
The benefits of labor-saving equipment for employee health are substantial — and using labor-saving equipment like pallet trucks has impressive benefits for employee morale and well-being, too. Pallet trucks remove the burden of manual labor from employees, leaving them sharper, more energized and less stressed. Their boosted morale and well-being are likely to translate into even higher productivity, more positive attitudes and greater loyalty to a company that has their best interests in mind.
How to Choose an Industrial Pallet Truck for Your Business
When considering our extensive selection of off-the-shelf products — as well as near-unlimited opportunities for modification or customization — it’s important to bring it back to the basics.You're looking to get the model of manual or electrical pallet jack or pallet truck that meets your needs efficiently to minimize costs and maximize return on investment. Here are some things to consider when looking for the right pallet truck for your application:
- Weight and size requirements: Attempting to move a heavy or oddly-shaped item with the wrong equipment can lead to costly on-the-job accidents, lost productivity and other issues. That’s why it’s so important to choose a pallet truck that will meet your requirements. For example, high-capacity pallet trucks can lift items over 6,000 pounds, whereas light- and medium-duty models can typically lift between 2,000 lbs. and 4,000 pound loads. In addition to weight, dimensions may be another concern — irregularly sized items may require pallet trucks with wider or longer forks.
- Operating environment: Most pallet trucks are designed for use in indoor warehouses. However, uneven floors and narrow aisles can make certain equipment better suited to your facility than others. Specialized equipment may also be necessary at outdoor worksites, refrigerated facilities or sanitary environments where machinery is frequently exposed to harsh chemicals. Many of our pallet trucks are available with corrosion-resistant coatings and all-terrain suspension systems that make navigating any environment easy.
- Budget: A pallet truck is always a good investment. The right machine will help you maintain a streamlined workflow without putting your employees at risk. Paying more today for a better-quality unit can have long-term benefits for many organizations. Always factor in the total cost of ownership, including maintenance and service life. When you choose a quality powered pallet jack or manual-lift low-profile pallet truck, it's crucial to get a reliable solution at a price that fits your budget.
