Pallet Truck Safety

Operating pallet trucks is different than operating other industrial trucks like forklifts. Pallet trucks typically have a three-point suspension and rear steering, as opposed to the four-point suspension and forward steering you may be used to with other industrial trucks. It's important that you understand how to safely prepare and operate pallet trucks so that you can avoid injures from crushing or tip-overs.
