Motorized Drive Unit: This is the heart of the conversion. It's a compact unit containing an electric motor, a drive wheel(s), and often a small gearbox. This unit attaches to the existing frame of your manual pallet jack.
Battery Pack: Usually a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, which is smaller and lighter than traditional lead-acid batteries.
Controller/Throttle Assembly: This replaces or attaches to your existing handle, allowing you to control the speed and direction (forward/reverse) of the motorized unit. It often includes an emergency stop button and battery level indicator.
Mounting Hardware: Brackets and fasteners designed to secure the drive unit and handle assembly to your specific pallet jack model.
Wiring Harness: Connects the battery, motor, and controller
Benefits of using a conversion kit:
Cost-Effective: Generally much cheaper than buying a brand new electric pallet jack.
Improved Ergonomics: Reduces the physical strain of pushing and pulling heavy loads, minimizing operator fatigue and potential injuries.
Increased Productivity: Speeds up material handling, especially over longer distances or with frequent movements.
Maneuverability: Retains the compact footprint and good maneuverability of a manual pallet jack, making it suitable for tight spaces.
Utilize Existing Equipment: Extends the life and usefulness of your current manual pallet jacks.
