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:

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):

Special fork widths |

Folding frames of different heights |

3. Accessories for weighing pallet trucks
Our weighing pallet trucks come equipped with powerful weighing scales, and depending on the model, even precision or premium scales. These scales have extensive functions and provide accurate measurements. To outfit your weighing pallet trucks according to your needs, you can order additional hand pallet truck parts from our online shop, such as:

4. Batteries and battery accessories
To extend the operating times of electric pallet trucks or to have more flexibility in using semi- or fully electric pallet trucks, we offer a comprehensive range of replacement batteries and battery swap modules. The lead-acid gel batteries or maintenance-free lithium-ion batteries are available for various electric pallet truck models and can be inserted without the need for tools. Depending on the version, the batteries can be recharged internally or externally.
