A lot of people looks at pallet trucks mistakenly, due to their compact size.
Yes, it looks small, but if you look to the capabilities of the truck, it can lift and move around 1000 – 2000 kg loads.
Years ago, I worked in a sauce factory, where we used electric pallet trucks without any training. One day, my colleague was loading a lorry from the ramp using a pallet truck, when he tried to deposit last 2 pallets, the pallets were overhanging the trailer. So my colleague decided to use a pallet truck to push the loads further. He was driving forward with a loaded pallet truck, hitting the load inside the trailer, then reversing whilst walking backwards and hitting the load again.
The dispatch area was overloaded and there was a 1000 kg. load behind my colleague. One time he reversed too far, trapping his foot between a 1000 kg. load and travelling at speed loaded pallet truck. You could actually hear the hit.
