how to put hydralic fluid in a manual pallet jack?
- There are many designs and models of jack. You would be better off consulting the maintence instructions that came with the device when it was purchased. Astronaut (talk) 16:21, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
Is pallet jack the most common name for this item and thus the right name for the page, as I've hear pump truck, pallet truck and even just wheels far more frequently.--OffiMcSpin (talk) 06:55, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
- Old discussion I know but. I have worked with these since year 2000 in several supermarkets and depots, I thought the proper name and most used name I hear is pump truck, followed by simply, pump, then pallet truck. I've never heard pallet jack in my life before now, but I have no doubt it used and it makes sense. Carlwev (talk) 14:37, 24 April 2013 (UTC)

refs for "jigger" term
editThe term jigger is hardly unique to a particular company. See for example [1], [2], [3]. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.10.151.23 (talk) 02:39, 29 June 2010 (UTC)
- I stand corrected. Thanks for the refs. Sorry I didn't research it beyond my hunch before editing. The reason is that while watchlisting to revert vandalism (or what might be vandalism) I have to keep moving and this one didn't quite make my stop-and-investigate threshold. However, I'm glad you followed up to point out evidence of the usage. Regards, — ¾-10 02:46, 29 June 2010 (UTC)
Different types of truck
editI work in retail merchandising, and see three different types of pump truck regularly.
- The type in the article, which is the most common. Found in all stores that get their deliveries by pallet.
- Skinnier ones with longer forks, used by the fitters for their equipment pallets.
- Stubby ones with no separation between the forks, used in stores that have had quarter pallet merchandising units installed for high-turnover items such as flour, large Coke/Pepsi bottles, and sugar.
I don't know enough about the other two types to contribute more to the article, however. AnselaJonla (talk) 07:10, 18 September 2018 (UTC)
