Dayton 2ZE63 pallet truck is used for material handling and transportation applications in warehouses and factories. This pallet jack is designed to lift and move palletised loads with ease.
Working Mechanism:
- Make sure the truck's load capacity is adequate for the intended load.
- Approach the pallet with the truck, aligning the forks with the openings between the pallet boards.
- Make sure the pallet truck is centred and perpendicular to the pallet.
- Engage the brake to prevent movement.
- To lift the pallet, locate the hydraulic pump handle located near the handle of the pallet truck.
- Pump the handle repeatedly to raise the forks off the ground.
- Continue pumping until the pallet is at the desired height for transport.
- With the pallet lifted, carefully manoeuvre the pallet truck to the desired location.
- Once you have reached the destination, ensure the pallet truck is in a stable position.
- Locate the release lever for the hydraulic pump near the handle.
- Pull the lever gently to release the hydraulic pressure and lower the forks back to the ground.
- Make sure the forks are fully lowered before removing the load.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. What is the difference between a manual and an electric pallet truck?
A. A manual pallet truck requires physical pumping of the handle to lift the load, while an electric pallet jack is powered by a battery-operated motor. Electric pallet jacks are generally easier to operate and require less physical effort.
Q. What maintenance is required for pallet jacks?
A. Regular maintenance includes keeping the wheels and rollers clean, lubricating moving parts and inspecting for any damage.
Q. Are there any safety concerns when using pallet jacks?
A. Ensure proper training for operators, adhere to weight capacity limits and use proper lifting techniques.
Q. What should I do if a pallet jack is not lifting properly?
A. If a pallet jack is not lifting properly, first ensure that the load is within the weight capacity and that the hydraulic pump is working correctly. If the issue persists, it might require maintenance or repair by a qualified technician.
