Pallet truck attachment helps improve order picking ergonomics

The PalletPal Walkie from Southworth Products mounts to any standard electric walkie or walkie/rider pallet truck. It uses a calibrated spring mechanism to adjust the height of a pallet load as boxes are added or removed. The top layer of the load is always at a working height that allows employees to load or offload items with no bending, stretching, or awkward posture.

No tools are required to mount the attachment on a pallet truck. The reinforced baseframe has flared openings at the end of each fork channel to receive the forks of all standard electric walkies for pickup and drop-off without binding.

The platform features an antislip surface and accepts any type of pallet or skid, including GEO and half pallets. Platform recesses and nonskid base treads allow workers to step up close to the load to minimize reaching across the pallet.
