- How much weight can the Jet PTW-2748A carry?
- It is rated to 6,600 lb, or about 2,994 kg. That is roughly 1,100 lb more than the typical 5,500 lb hand truck, so it covers dense and double-stacked loads.
- Will it fit a standard 48-inch pallet?
- Yes. The 27-inch fork width is sized for standard 48-inch pallets and most dock and trailer openings. Check your narrowest aisle, since the wide stance needs more room to turn.
- Is it powered or manual?
- It is a manual hydraulic pallet truck. There is no battery, motor or charger, so it needs no charging downtime but all lifting and pulling is done by the operator.
- How heavy is it to move around empty?
- The truck weighs about 151 lb. That is fine rolling on its wheels, but lifting it onto a truck bed or over a threshold takes two people.
- What is it made of?
- The frame and forks are steel, built for daily industrial use. Expect it to hold up to abuse but to scuff soft or coated floors.
- Who should buy it over a lighter pallet truck?
- Buy it if you regularly move loads near or above 5,500 lb, or need a wide fork stance for oversized pallets. For light loads in tight aisles, a narrower, lighter truck is easier to handle.
