Motorized Pallet Truck Safety

Pallet trucks are more agile and easier to handle than a forklift. And when palletized loads need to be moved around a workplace, “walkies” and “walkie riders” can do a great job.  But as with all material handling equipment, pallet trucks can create serious hazards if they’re misused, leading to severe injuries and even fatalities.
