© Easy Guides Australia A Pallet Truck is: a truck designed to lift and transport goods on a standard pallet or platform. They can be manually or power operated. Pallet trucks are normally used in and around production areas, but are not suitable for stacking, or loading and unloading road or rail vehicles, except from an elevated dock. Pallet trucks come in walkie (pedestrian) or ride-on varieties. Pallet trucks are commonly end controlled, but some ride-on models are centre controlled.
