Being able to move products with confidence, safely and faster, while utilizing the right cart for your business can result in big savings for your company.
An electric pallet jack can be a confidence booster for operators who work in compact spaces. With a quality-made walkie and operator safety training program, operators can maneuver knowing they are working with a safety-focused piece of equipment designed to take strain off of the worker. The less energy your employees use, the more efficient products can be moved throughout your operation.

Electric walkie pallet jacks are a budget-friendly way to add extra value to your fleet. Compared to other material handling truck classes, they require fewer moving parts resulting in less maintenance and fewer service calls which can be instrumental in reaching production goals and improving your business bottom-line.
