Description
FULL DESCRIPTION
🏗️ General Definition
A 2-ton low profile pallet jack is:
- A manual hydraulic lifting and moving device
- Designed for low-clearance pallets and skids
- Rated for 2000 kg load capacity
- Built with an ultra-low fork entry height
Unlike standard pallet jacks, it can access pallets that sit very close to the floor.
⚙️ Key Design Features
🔹 Ultra-Low Fork Height (Main Feature)
- Lowered height typically ~51 mm (very low entry)
- Standard pallet jacks are ~85 mm, so this is significantly lower
- Allows handling of:
- Low-profile pallets
- Skids
- Special containers
🔹 Heavy-Duty Frame
- Reinforced steel construction
- Designed for industrial durability
- Resistant to bending under full load
🔹 Fork Dimensions
- Fork length: ~1150–1220 mm
- Overall width: ~685 mm
- Individual fork width: ~160 mm
- Fits most standard pallets plus low-clearance variants
🔹 Hydraulic Pump System
- Manual hand-operated hydraulic unit
- Smooth lifting and controlled lowering
- Built-in overload protection in many models
🔹 Wheels & Rollers
- Typically fitted with:
- Nylon wheels (low resistance, durable), or
- PU wheels (quieter, floor-friendly)
- Double load rollers for stability

🛠️ How It Works
- Low-profile forks slide under low-clearance pallet
- Operator pumps handle
- Hydraulic system lifts load slightly
- Load is moved manually
- Release lever lowers load safely
🏭 Applications
Used in:
- Warehouses handling low-entry pallets
- Manufacturing plants
- Printing and packaging industries
- Retail distribution centers
- Container loading/unloading
It is especially useful where standard pallet jacks cannot fit under the load.
✅ Advantages
- Handles low-clearance pallets easily
- Reduces need for manual lifting
- Improves efficiency in tight environments
- Durable and reliable
- Easy single-person operation
⚠️ Limitations
- Lower ground clearance means:
- Not suitable for uneven surfaces
- Slightly more expensive than standard pallet jacks
- Limited lift height (~200 mm max)
- Requires smooth flooring for best performance
