The Kijeka Hand Pallet Truck is perfect for easily lifting, moving and lowering loads continuously, up to 100 kg. There are two models, depending on the need we have in our warehouse:
* Short fork, for trucks or with tight turning spaces.
* Extra long fork, to transport industrial or container pallets, as well as 2 pallets at a time.
The manual pallet truck with balance, by incorporating a balance system that accurately determines the weight of the goods, prevents us from transferring the load or changing its position. Supports up to 2,200 kg.
When choosing the class of wheels for the material, let us know that the rubber ones are quieter, more resistant to wear, do not scratch the floors and are suitable for slippery or uneven floors; On the other hand, the polyurethane ones do not leave a mark and cushion the impacts, and the nylon ones suit us on smooth and slippery floors.
Prevention and good use of pallet trucks
The ideal is always prudence. Machines are at the service of man; It is therefore convenient for us to previously know their operation and risk in order to get the most usefulness out of them at work and without suffering any physical injury or damage to the load. Preventive maintenance of the pallet truck will always facilitate our day-to-day work, avoiding unnecessary risks and making loading and unloading tasks easier.
Did we know that to start or stop a load using a hand pallet truck requires an effort of 20 kg for men and 15 kg for women? Also, to keep a load moving, 10 kg is needed for men and 7 kg for women. This shows the importance of education and training before using it continuously.
Manual pallet trucks are driven by dragging , that is, the user in front and the machine behind. They do not push themselves except in maneuvers where the turn is difficult or it is not possible to advance and it is necessary to go back; even less if they are loaded to the top, because vision is lost and accidents can be caused . If pushed in the event of a fall, they can be thrown forward.
Likewise, it suits us:
Balance the load, without displacing or overloading one of the nails. In the event of instability, it is best to place the load in the center and secure it.
Monitor the stacking height of the load. There are goods that can be stacked several on each other but as long as the load does not become unstable.
Know the technical characteristics of the Kijeka Pallet Truck to prevent problems: the unevenness through which it can circulate, the maximum weight it supports, the maximum load height (if the structure in which to leave the load is not consistent or the machine does not have enough extension , it could tip over).
Pay attention to sharp turns and low visibility; notify on arrival to avoid collisions.
On the ramps, we must position ourselves so that the machine does not go back and run us over.
Check the unevenness through which we will pass, because if the pallet truck is heavily loaded, it can tip the load forward.
In the truck
The use of manual pallet trucks in a truck, where there is usually a hydraulic lifting platform, requires more prevention and care , since the risk of an accident is much higher than in other cases.
Having to move the load requires the use of more physical effort; it is better to ask for help or use other machinery if we see that we are in danger of injury. In addition, exposure to rainwater or soil moisture increases this risk. In these cases, we recommend installing a rubber steering wheel and a manual brake on the hand pallet truck.
