Anyone who has operated a fully loaded pallet truck knows the most strenuous part is starting the wheels rolling. These Pallet Trucks solve the back breaking problem. Model PM5-2748-PA-Y: Pumping the handle of the pallet truck serves two purposes. First, it serves the traditional purpose of lifting the forks. Secondly, the travel direction is selected. By squeezing the hand-grip and pumping the handle, the truck will move in a reverse direction. When the hand-grip is in the downward position, raising the handle will propel the truck to move in a forward direction (direction of the forks), thus reducing the pushing/pulling force.
