Hand Pallet Truck & Pallet Trucks

There are times that you do not need powered tools such as pallet jacks. Manual hand pallet trucks will perform just as well provided they are ergonomic and well-designed. They require less maintenance, and in many cases feature simplicity of design that ensures many years of use. Easy Rack sells a number of models that are designed for specialty applications, weight capacities up to 5,000 pounds, and durable construction to ensure years of reliable service.

Low Profile Pallet Truck
The low profile model is built with a heavy duty suspension system and lifetime lubricated bearings. It is easy to operate with a wide loop control handle that features fingertip control of lift, neutral, and lower functions.

Economical & Standard Ergonomic Hand Pallet Truck
Companies can save a great deal of money by investing in these ergonomic alternatives to forklifts. Built for user friendliness, this model features entry and exit rollers, adjustable push rods, and a spring-loaded handle that automatically returns to a vertical position when idle. Workers can pull them around the warehouse all day long without getting sore arms and backs because these pallet jacks need only 75 pounds of pulling force to function.

Pallet Truck with Scale
This innovative hand pallet truck lets you save a strip to the scales because it has its own scale built in.

Sidewinder Pallet Truck
If your warehouse aisles are narrow and hard to navigate, the sidewinder pallet jack allows you to efficiently move pallets in and out of storage. It has all the features of a standard pallet jack, and it features a capacity of 3,000 pounds and can get into even the tightest of places.

Nose wheel pallet jack
This hand pallet truck is designed for stacking pallets and skids in close rows. The fork end is set back from the front rollers, allowing it to pick up one pallet at a time. It is built with steel construction, features a push button scale, and has a foot lever activated weight readout. Total weight capacity is 5,000 pounds, and service range is from 3 1/2inches to 8 inches.

Heavy Duty All Terrain Pallet Jack
This model is ideal for heavy duty work outside. Its extra large wheels on this unit will move easily, quickly, and safely over most surfaces. The 17” front pneumatic tires are built for traction on any surface, including gravel around gravel pits and nurseries.

Big Wheel Pallet Jack
These hand pallet trucks allow you to move loads up to 4,500 pounds with an ergonomic unit built of ease of mobility. The key to its rugged user friendliness is its exceptionally large front wheels that will roll easily over uneven floors and bulky loads.

Brick, Mortar & Block Carts

Brick and block carts are designed to help masons in residential construction move brick and block into areas where there is no forklift access. This is very common in the home building industry, where there simply is no way to move a forklift into what will eventually be a home interior. Also, many home builders feel that forklifts are beyond their budget and choose to look for less expensive ways to move equipment around the site. Brick and block carts are remarkably efficient tools for this task, and they are affordable for even the smallest of family owned construction companies to invest in.

The brick and block cart is much safer and far more ergonomic than brick barrows. It is also helps move materials much more quickly. The reason for this is simple. Bricks and blocks tend to come stacked and banded. In order to transport them in a barrow, you have to cut the bands, stack them in the barrow, then unload and restack them after they are moved. This wastes considerable time on the job, which in turn results in a waste of money.

Brick and block carts allow you to move hand truck entire stacks of banded brick and block without having to undo the bands. Simply run the forks into the bricks and tilt the unit back. This will allow you to pick up as many as two bands of brick at a time and comfortably transport them to the work area. It is not necessary to hand stack or unstuck the bricks, so an enormous amount of time can be saved. Furthermore, it is much easier on your back because you do not have to stoop down to load and unload bricks like you do when using a barrow.

Most masons simply wheel the brick and block cart to the work area and stand it up in a vertical position with the bricks still held in place by the forks. They then cut the bands at the top and use from the stack however many bricks they needs. For scaffold work, brick and block carts can be placed right under the scaffold, and bricks can hand stacked on the scaffold as needed.

Easy Rack sells brick and block carts in two different model: the Rough Terrain Brick Cart and the Deluxe Rough Terrain Block/Brick cart. The Double Back Plate model features an additional pair of 15” forks specifically designed to handle any block package.

We see the greatest use of these carts in single story construction projects where forklifts are simply too expensive to purchase or lease, and where the work area itself is considerably smaller than that around larger homes. Having a convenient, ergonomic tool like the Easy Rack brick and block cart allows for quick mobility, safe labor, and rapid turnaround on the project. In fact, many companies who invest in brick and block carts, as well as other space saving and ergonomic tools by Easy Rack, are often able to lower their contract costs and win more bids by passing their material handling savings on to the general contractor.
