Pallet Jack Recommendation

[pontiac428]

Sounds like you made a good choice. I think there is a difference between your Chinese Harbor Freight/Northern Tool pallet jack and the ones you find on commercial floors. In my area, I could pick one up off auction or CL within a day or two for a little more than a new Chinese one costs. The paint might not be as glossy as sweet and sour sauce, but I bet you'd be happier. Besides, you know the difference between a load rating and a Chinese load rating- one is the safe capacity, and the other is the absolute failure point.

Yale and Crown made quality pallet jacks into 2000.
i can't say what current production is like

If we had but known a couple of weeks ago.
There were a couple of dozen at an auction up here by us.
Stock from grocery store closures. Crowns, Yales, Elp. Going prices were $50-$120
I was going to go after one but I don't have anywhere to store one out of the weather currently.

I guess if you want good quality, you have to pay for it, right?

I drove over to Buford, GA and picked this up this morning. Brand spankin' new and with a 3 year warrantee... it was more than I wanted to pay, but my wife said 'but you need a good one, don't you?' Sooo... lol

Have to agree with the Wife on that.
Not safe to be using one with cracks and other issues.

You will be in great shape for a long time!
Crown pallet jacks are well designed.
