2 Ton Low Profile Hand Pallet Jack

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

⚙️ Technical Specifications (Typical)

🛠️ How It Works

1. Low-profile forks slide under low-clearance pallet
2. Operator pumps handle
3. Hydraulic system lifts load slightly
4. Load is moved manually
5. 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
