The Vestil PM5-2748-S full-featured pallet truck has a handle, two forks, and steel rollers and wheels, and can be used to lift and transport pallets. This pallet jack is made of steel, which is resistant to wear and corrosion. The red powder-coated finish resists scratches, chipping, fading, and other wear. The pump handle allows the user to jack up the forks and maneuver the pallet truck, and it swivels to provide a 180-degree turning radius. The handle's loop shape allows it to be held in different places for comfort and convenience. A rubber coating on the handle provides a secure grip. A spring-loaded mechanism returns the handle to a vertical position when released. A trigger on the handle releases and lowers the forks. The articulating rear wheels swivel for maneuverability and allow the pallet truck to be used on uneven surfaces. Covers help protect the wheels from dust. Push rods allow the height of each fork to be adjusted in case of an imbalance. The forks' tapered ends facilitate loading. This pallet truck has a load capacity of 5,500 lb., weighs 325 lb., and measures 27 x 48 inches (W x D). (W is width, the horizontal distance from left to right; D is depth, the horizontal distance from front to back.) It has a service range of 2-7/8 to 7-3/4 inches high and reaches full height with 12 handle strokes. Each fork measures 7 x 48 inches (W x D). The front rollers measure 3 inches in diameter. This product is intended for use in professional and industrial environments. Pallets are low platforms that can support heavy loads, and that can be lifted and transported using a pallet truck or forklift truck. Pallets can be made of wood, polyethylene, steel, aluminum, cardboard, or other materials. Loads may be bundled and secured to the pallet using straps or stretch wrap. Four-way pallets can be lifted and moved with a pallet truck or forklift truck from any side. Pallets may be color-coded for identifying and segregating different types of loads, or to indicate load capacity. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) recognizes six standard pallet sizes, with the most common size in North America being 48 x 40 inches (W x D). Pallets without a bottom deck are called skids. Pallets can be used in warehouses, stockrooms, manufacturing and shipping facilities, and other industrial environments. Vestil manufactures materials handling equipment, including hoists and trolleys, jib and gantry cranes, loading dock equipment, and storage solutions. The company, founded in 1968, is headquartered in Angola, IN.
