Pallet truck

Pallet trucks (or lift trucks) are powered industrial trucks designed to lift and move entire loads, rather than just one or several items at once, as with an ordinary cart or hand truck. They usually have three or four powered wheels called "drive wheels," each fitted with a pair of heavy-duty rubber tires; those drive wheels may be individually driven by electric motors, connected to individual steel-belted radial (white sidewall) tires, pneumatic motors with a separate compressed-air supply (which can also be electric, e.g., for battery-powered trucks), or via chains connected to one central drive sprocket (see photo). The center of gravity is typically much lower than ordinary hand trucks.

Powered industrial truck 

Powered industrial trucks are forklift trucks specifically designed to carry extremely heavy loads upwards of 1 ton and maybe gasoline or electric powered (for which see). They are the largest forklifts in common usage; other types generally do not exceed 500 pounds capacity. 

The name comes from their motive power: an electric motor or internal combustion engine driving one or more wheels through mechanical gearing. Most PIFTs are four-wheeled (4x4), and the typical capacity of a 4x4 PIFT is between 3,000 and 5,000 pounds.

Electric Pallet Jack

Electric pallet jacks are electric vehicles designed for transporting material on pallets via forks. They are an alternative to forklift trucks operated by combustion engines. Electric pallet jacks typically offer better energy efficiency and use outdoor air, so they do not need to be housed in a warehouse or other container, increasing flexibility and productivity.

Center Rider Pallet Jack

A center control rider pallet jack (CCR) is a center steer, center ride pallet truck with an operator station between the front and rear axles. It can be operated from either side and turn in its length. The center-mounted steering technology provides excellent maneuverability for tight spaces, turning within 5 ft.

The center control rider design allows for better visibility of the load versus side-ride trucks. A CCR requires less space to operate than articulated fork trucks - making it ideal for businesses that have limited space but need the larger capacity of a rider truck.

Center control rider electric pallet truck

Center control rider electric pallet truck is center steered; handlebar operated center-controlled electric forklift designed to lift loads to 1,000 lb (454 kg) and travel on narrow aisles. It applies torque to one side, producing undesired steering effects if not properly adjusted for road conditions. Center-controlled designs are usually lighter than non-center-controlled designs because they lack bulky mechanical components required for non-center-controlled designs that perform similarly.

Functions of Center Rider Pallet Truck

The center rideable pallet jack has center-mounted controls located on the centerline between the front and rear axles for right-hand or left-hand capability. The center control rider features either a two-handle joystick (front handle) and push/pull brake (rear handle) configuration or a four-handle joystick configuration to allow for side by side seating. 

A center control rider is type 2 rated, which means it can lift to 1,000 lbs . on an open platform at 4 ft. above the ground with its forks fully retracted. It also meets the performance criteria defined in ASME PALD 2009 Section VIII Division I Type 1 Rating Criteria.

A center rider pallet truck, also known as a center load pallet jack, center-mounted pallet jack, or center discharge pallet truck; the mid rider model of a forklift. It can be used to load and unload closely packed loads such as boxes on a shelf with minimal aisle space and accurately place them in racks, and it is commonly employed in warehouses and supermarkets.

The center pivot steering column ensures that all four wheels touch the ground for maximum stability when lifting heavy loads. In contrast, the dual rear caster wheels provide direction control for maneuverability through narrow spaces.

At just under 100 pounds, this unit requires only one person to operate it, making it an efficient solution for warehouse staffing needs. The center load pallet truck is commonly powered by gasoline or battery power.    

Mid riders are models of forklifts with their forks attached in the center rather than on one end. Center loaders are designed to transport large, bulky loads of goods across warehouse floors without requiring much space for movement. 

The center runner design also allows them to make turns more easily, even at high speeds compared to other forklift trucks. The handlebars on center loaders are mounted lower, closer to the ground, making it easier for drivers to get under low hanging loads while lifting the materials up and out of the way with the center loader's forks.

Why choose Pallet Jackson to buy pallet jack parts?

Center Rider Pallet Jack Parts are usually heavier than traditional pallet jacks. Center Rider Pallet Jacks have a center beam fully supported by the forks on each side, rather than just being partially supported at the back of the pallet jack.
