How to choose suitable pallet truck parts

Manual pallet trucks, electric pallet trucks, or scissor lift pallet trucks: these versatile pieces of equipment for material handling are essential for horizontal load transportation. However, with intensive use, even high-quality devices will eventually show signs of wear and tear.

With practical pallet truck accessories from the Jungheinrich PROFISHOP you can adapt your pallet truck to the work processes and requirements of your company. This includes additional safety equipment and maintenance accessories, among others, which can ensure your pallet trucks remain in optimal condition. Our buying guide will assist you in selecting suitable pallet truck parts.

1. Pallet truck parts for increased operational safety

Operational safety should always be a top priority when transporting, storing, and handling loads on a daily basis, especially when pedestrian traffic is present. To this end, we offer various braking systems and replacement wheels for pallet jacks. Here is an overview of our pallet jack spare and replacement parts for operational safety:

Pallet Truck Parts Details and Benefits

  • Available in various models (depending on the type of pallet truck and wheel size)
  • Also compatible with pallet trucks with quick lift function
  • Can also be used as a manual foot brake
  • Suitable for load capacities of up to 2500kg
  • Easy to operate via release lever on the handle or through Move-Lock function

In addition, we offer an explosion-proof version of the stainless steel pallet truck for use in hazardous areas. The ATEX-compliant design meets safety requirements for gas (Zone 1 and 2) and dust (Zone 21 and 22).

For use of the pallet truck in commercial areas or during rest periods, we also provide noise-reducing equipment for pallet trucks. This includes special foam mats on the chassis, Teflon spacers on the bearings and fork rollers made of soft-PU. This can reduce noise emissions by up to 50% compared to pallet trucks without noise-reducing equipment.

2. Special fork sizes and frames for pallet trucks

Pallet trucks in standard configuration are suitable for handling goods on Euro pallets or other standardized load carriers. However, if load carriers in special sizes need to be transported, the standard fork length of 1150mm and the standard fork width of 520 to 540mm are no longer sufficient. Therefore, for various pallet truck models, special versions are available (depending on the model):

Optional selectable pallet truck configurations Details
Special fork widths
  • Special distance across forks of 700mm for transporting wide special pallets and lifting Euro pallets from the side
  • Available in combination with the Jungheinrich PROFISHOP AMW 22p

  • For transporting goods with and without a pallet

3. Accessories for weighing pallet trucks
