The Omcan 19978 Pallet Truck
This Omcan hand pallet truck is rated to lift and move palletized loads up to 5511 pounds (2500 kg). It is designed to withstand tough everyday handling, providing great reliability and dependability, and great for supermarkets and food service operation. The forks are 48 inches long, the truck measures 63 inches long by 27.25 inches wide by 47.24 inches high overall, and it comes fully assembled. The forks lower to 3.4 inches to enter a pallet and raise to 7.9 inches; with the control knob in the lift position, rocking the hand grip raises the forks on the hydraulic pump.
5511-Pound Lift Capacity
The rated capacity is 5511 pounds (2500 kg). The rated weight applies with the load's center of gravity in the middle of the forks and must be reduced when the load is off-center, and loose, unstable or overly tall loads should not be carried.
48-Inch Forks
Each fork is 6.3 inches wide, the pair spans 27.25 inches overall with 14.75 inches of clear space between them, and the forks are 48 inches long. Lowered height is 3.4 inches and raised height is 7.9 inches. The pump section ahead of the forks is 15 inches long and 18 inches high.
Tandem Load Rollers and 7.9-Inch Steering Wheels
Two rollers ride in tandem at the tip of each fork. The steering wheels under the pump body are 7.9 inches (200.7 mm) in diameter and 2 inches (50.8 mm) wide.
105° Steering Arc and Hydraulic Controls
The handle swings 105° to each side of center and tops out at 47.24 inches. The control knob on the handle has lift, free and drop positions: in free, the forks hold their height while the truck travels; in drop, the forks lower. The hydraulic pump takes about 250 ml of ISO 32 oil for ambient temperatures of -5 to 40 °C, with low temperature oil below that range. Before first use, the hand grip is pinned to the pump body and the knob positions are tested.
