A 'hand pallet forklift' usually refers to a manual or semi-manual hydraulic handling device commonly used in the logistics industry, colloquially known as a 'ground pusher' or 'manual fork truck.' It is primarily used for short-distance cargo handling and is frequently employed in warehouses, workshops, supermarkets, and other settings. It is a small-sized handling tool operated by human power, which uses a hydraulic lifting system to lift, move, and stack pallets of goods. With its compact size and small turning radius, it is suitable for narrow spaces. The handle presses down on the hydraulic cylinder to control the lifting and lowering of the forks. Releasing the hydraulic valve causes the forks to descend and the forklift to retract.
