Low Profile Pallet Jack 35mm
- Minimum Entry Profile: Achieves a lowered fork height of 35mm (1.4 in), specifically engineered for disposable pallets and low-clearance skids that standard jacks cannot access.
- Integral Casting Technology: Features a one-piece cast hydraulic pump housing, eliminating weld seams to prevent leakage and ensure consistent pressure up to 1000kg (2205 lbs).
- Precision Maneuverability: Equipped with a 210º steering arc and low tare weight, allowing for effortless navigation in confined aisles and delivery trucks.
The HPL35 is a specialized low profile pallet jack designed to solve the critical operational challenge of handling non-standard cargo platforms. While standard industry jacks require 85mm of clearance, the HPL35 utilizes a reinforced, flattened chassis design to achieve a lowered height of just 35mm (1.4 in). This capability is essential for operations utilizing corrugated paper pallets, low-profile wooden skids, or imported machinery crates. Despite its slim profile, the unit maintains a 1000kg (2205 lbs) Safe Working Load (SWL). It integrates a maintenance-free, fully sealed hydraulic system, ensuring reliability for manufacturing, printing, and logistics environments where vertical clearance is the primary constraint.

Performance
Engineered for Limited-Clearance Applications
The HPL35 distinguishes itself through its chassis geometry. Standard pallet trucks fail to enter skids with clearances below 80mm (3.1 in), often forcing operators to unsafe manual handling methods. The HPL35’s forks are manufactured from high-tensile steel to maintain structural rigidity at a 35mm (1.4 in) thickness. This allows the operator to engage disposable pallets and custom manufacturing skids directly, eliminating the need for secondary lifting equipment or dangerous pry-bar operations.
Monoblock Hydraulic Reliability
Hydraulic failure is the leading cause of downtime in manual material handling equipment (MHE). The HPL35 addresses this by utilizing a “Whole Casting” hydraulic pump design. Unlike fabricated pumps with welded joints that are prone to cracking under cyclic pressure, this single-piece casting minimizes seal wear and eliminates external leak paths. This robust design ensures smooth elevation from the 35mm (1.4 in) lowered position to the maximum lift height, even under the full 1000kg (2205 lbs) rated load.
Optimized Steering and Ergonomics
Warehouse throughput relies on ease of movement. The HPL35 is engineered with a 210º steering arc, significantly wider than the standard 180º found on budget models. This increased angular mobility allows the operator to turn the jack within its own length, a critical feature for positioning loads inside shipping containers or narrow racking aisles. Furthermore, the specialized low-profile design results in a reduced net weight, lowering the rolling resistance and the start-up force required by the operator to initiate movement.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the lowest height of a pallet jack?
The lowest lowered fork height of a pallet jack varies by type:
Standard pallet jack: ~3 inches (76 mm)
Low-profile pallet jack: as low as 1.4 inches (35 mm)
Electric models: typically 2.75–3.5 inches (70–90 mm)
This ultra-low clearance lets it slide under low-sitting pallets, skids, and containers that standard jacks cannot reach.
Is it hard to drive a pallet jack?
No, it is not hard to drive a pallet jack with basic training and practice.
Manual pallet jacks: Simple hydraulic operation; easy to steer and move on flat floors—only requires light physical effort.
Electric pallet jacks: Even easier; powered movement reduces fatigue, with intuitive controls (throttle, brake, horn).
Key: Follow safety rules (load limits, clear paths, no riding) and get a short on-site demo to master it quickly.
What is the OSHA standard for pallet jacks?
- Training: Operators must receive formal instruction + hands-on training + evaluation before use.
- Load capacity: Never exceed the rated load on the nameplate; overloading causes failure or tipping.
- Safety rules: No riding on non‑rider models; keep forks low when moving; use horns in blind spots; park with forks fully lowered.
- Inspection: Daily pre-use checks for leaks, damage, brakes, and hydraulics.
- Maintenance: Follow manufacturer guidelines; only authorized personnel repair equipment.
