Pallet Trucks Market: Safety Features and Electrically Powered Jacks Gain User Interest

Also known as pallet jacks, pallet pumps, or pump trucks, pallet trucks are commonly used equipment that are meant for carrying and transporting pallets, usually over short distances in warehouses. Pallet trucks can be broadly divided into on the basis of their operating systems into manual, powered and rough terrain variants.


Tech Innovations Improve on Functionality

Currently, the pallet truck industry is adopting a number of innovations which are focused in improving performance for silent function, protection to sensitive floors, better grip, and user safety. In addition, the electrification of pallet trucks through lithium ion batteries are also expected to rapidly gain popularity in terms of labor reduction.

Further, warehouse facilities are increasingly growing larger, and as land constraints are increasingly becoming a problem, warehouse builders are opting for vertical expansions. Consequently, pallet truck manufacturers are designing products that can reach greater heights even up to 10 levels, which has the potential to increase warehouse capacity by more than 20 per cent. This trend is expected to play a key role in the growth of the pallet trucks market.

Functional Limitations Challenge Manufacturers

As is evident, pallet trucks are expected to continue playing a significant role in the warehouse and pallet transport operations for the foreseeable future. However, pallet trucks have some essential limitations that restrict the rate of adoption and allow competing alternatives a chance to encroach on market share.

These include the inability for reversible pallets to be used, the inability of forks being inserted into the notches of stringer pallets, and in case the front wheels extent to the floor, double faced non reversible pallets cannot be fitted with deck boards. These limitations are expected to hinder growth for the near future.
