Powered Pallet Truck

A self-propelled, wheeled vehicle having a mechanical or hydraulic operated lifting mechanism (a framework consisting of two forks, each fork having mounted whee (s) for support of the outer fork ends) primarily designed for horizontal handling of pallets and not intended for high elevating. The lift mechanism raises approximately 4 inches (101.6 mm), enough to lift the pallet 2 inches (50.8 mm) or 3 inches (76.2 mm) above the floor for transporting purposes. May be designed for riding and/or "walking along hand guiding."
