After seeing a few pallet jack posts, I wanted to ask if anyone else
has
ever ridden a pallet jack?

Thanks.


Yupp :-o

Used to have pallet jack races (timed course) during lunch in the
warehouse. (back in my younger days )

Enough effort in the driving action (feet on the forks, hands on the
lift handle and a back and forth handle action) and you could make it
get-up-and-go.

I Know, I know, not real safe, and I've still got a scar on my shin to
prove it. t'was fun though.

DOH! We never thought to have timed races. I did the weave back and
forth
to get it going thing, though. :-) It was indeed fun.



The electrics are a lot more fun. g

Steve

How fast will an electric one go?



Depends on the modifications, but faster than one SHOULD go on an electric
pallet jack.
