This web-based course offers comprehensive guidance on the safe usage and potential risks associated with the two most commonly used motorized pallet jack trucks: "walkies" and "walkie-riders."

Motorized Pallet Jacks: Safe Operation

COURSE OVERVIEW

A motorized pallet jack, fundamental to many workplaces, is a machine utilized to lift heavy loads a few inches off the ground and relocate them. Although it may seem straightforward, the improper usage or lack of proper training on motorized pallet jacks can result in severe injury or even fatality.
