Platforms and Ladders provides one of the largest selections of pallet trucks in the area. There are options for every need. Whether you need a product that has extreme maneuverability, or something that will smoothly traverse rough or bumpy ground, we have the right fit.
Pallet Trucks Overview
Our pallet trucks come in many different shapes, sizes, and materials. From manual to electric, there is a pallet truck to fit every budget and need.
Hand Pallet Trucks
One of the most basic and effective models is the standard hand pallet truck. Available in either painted or stainless steel, these trucks are easily raised to their maximum height in 9 strokes. The pump is extremely durable, easy to use, and effective. Rollers are positioned at the tips of each fork-tip for easy handling. This model is one of our most affordable as well and is perfect for basic pallet lifting.
Quick Lift
Our quick lift models are by far the most popular for single person use. With a capacity of up to 5,500 lbs, it only takes 75 pounds of force to move the pallet at full weight capacity. This makes it extremely easy to use, and the design is made to be long-lasting and simple to maintain.
Electric Pallet Trucks
Electric Pallet Trucks are the ideal option for businesses that want to make an investment in employee safety. Our emergency built-in safety circuit, which reverses direction when enabled, is the safest system on the market. These are also great for long-term investments in employee health as the lift is actuated with a press of a button rather than employee effort. We offer a wide range of options for every budget, starting with our Fully Powered Electric Pallet Trucks all the way to our Stainless Steel Electric Pallet Truck.
Corrosive and Sanitary Environments
For medical, food, pharmaceutical, or wet and corrosive conditions, our Corrosive and Sanitary Environments Pallet Truck is the ideal option. Our 304 Stainless steel, zinc coated, and galvanized materials are all easily washable and highly durable. The Stainless Steel Electric Pallet Truck is also a favorite for food and other sanitary industries.
All-Terrain Pallet Truck
Not all terrains are smooth and easy to traverse. That is why we offer pallet trucks that can handle many different ground types. These products are perfect for use in outdoor locations such as construction sites, gardens, and more. With a capacity of up to 2,500 pounds, it can handle a variety of loads. These pallet trucks also feature large 10” pneumatic steering wheels as well as up to 22” front pneumatic tires.
Turnabout
Small spaces require greater maneuverability when it comes to product transport. The Turnabout Pallet Truck was designed to operate in tight quarters with full turning capabilities. With up to a 5,500 lb capacity, the Turnabout is one of our most versatile options and a favorite with our customers.
Stackers
Our wide range of stackers makes moving heavy objects up and down simple. Our compact LiftStik is ideal for small spaces and lighter loads while our heavy-duty PowerStak can lift up to 3,000 pounds and stack items up to 10’ high. Our Counterweight designs are perfect for situations where base legs can get in the way, and they are easy to operate. These are great alternatives to forklift trucks and manual stackers.
All Terrain Dolly
Our All-Terrain Dolly is not the usual low profile dolly with four small wheels. This system features six large black urethane foam tires that can handle every surface from smooth warehouse floors to rock, gravel, and dirt. The wheels create an incredibly smooth transport experience for loads up to 1,500 pounds. The dolly also features an open front for easy towing as well as an adjustable plate that can be raised or lowered as needed for transport of longer objects.

Frequently Asked Questions About Pallet Trucks
-
A pallet truck, also known as a pallet jack or pallet lift, is a material handling tool used to lift and transport pallet loads over short distances. They are commonly used in warehouses, distribution centers, manufacturing facilities, and retail environments to move inventory efficiently while reducing manual lifting and strain on workers.
-
A hand pallet truck is manually operated using a hydraulic pump to raise and lower loads, making it a cost-effective solution for lighter or occasional use. An electric pallet truck uses powered lift and drive functions, allowing operators to move heavier loads with minimal physical effort. Electric pallet trucks are ideal for high-volume operations, longer travel distances, and improving overall workplace ergonomics.
-
Pallet truck capacity varies by model, but most standard pallet trucks support loads between 2,500 and 5,500 pounds. High-capacity and heavy-duty pallet lifts are available for specialized applications, while electric pallet trucks and stackers can handle heavier loads with greater control and stability.
-
A quick lift pallet truck is designed to raise a pallet to full height with fewer pump strokes than a standard pallet jack. These pallet trucks are popular for single-operator use because they reduce physical effort, increase efficiency, and speed up daily material handling tasks without sacrificing lifting capacity.
-
Yes. Diverse Supply offers cold room pallet trucks, stainless steel pallet trucks, and corrosion-resistant pallet lifts designed for food processing, pharmaceutical, medical, and wet environments. These are built with stainless steel, galvanized, or zinc-coated components that are easy to clean and resist rust and corrosion.
-
A pallet truck with scale combines lifting and weighing in one piece of equipment. These pallet trucks allow operators to weigh loads as they are moved, improving efficiency in shipping, receiving, inventory control, and quality assurance processes. They help eliminate separate weighing steps and reduce handling time.
-
Yes. Rough terrain pallet trucks and all-terrain pallet lifts are designed with large pneumatic wheels and rugged frames that allow them to operate on gravel, dirt, asphalt, and uneven surfaces. These pallet trucks are commonly used in outdoor yards, construction sites, landscaping operations, and loading areas where smooth floors are not available.
-
A pallet truck is designed to lift and move pallets at floor level, while a pallet stacker is capable of lifting loads to higher elevations for stacking or shelving. Stackers (manual, semi-electric, or fully powered) are often used as alternatives to forklifts in facilities with limited space or lighter lifting requirements.
-
Choosing the right model depends on factors such as load weight, travel distance, floor conditions, lift height requirements, and frequency of use. Hand pallet trucks are ideal for basic tasks, while electric pallet trucks and stackers are better suited for high-volume operations and ergonomic efficiency. Diverse Supply’s experienced team can help match the right pallet truck to your specific workflow.
