Description
The MEK Hand Pallet Truck, also known as a manual pallet jack or pump truck, is a manually operated machine for lifting and moving palletised loads over short distances. A foot-operated hydraulic pump raises the forks, and articulated steering lets one operator move pallets through tight aisles.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a hand pallet truck, a manual pallet jack and a pump truck?
They are different names for the same machine: a manually operated truck whose forks slide under a pallet and are raised hydraulically by pumping, so one person can move the load.
How much weight can the MEK Hand Pallet Truck carry?
The range covers load capacities from 1.5 to 10 tons, depending on the model selected. Share your load details with MEK Uganda to confirm the right model.
How much maintenance does a manual pallet jack need?
Very little. Its simple hydraulic and mechanical design keeps upkeep to a minimum, which is one reason it is a cost-effective alternative to powered pallet jacks.
