Standard pallets are often too wide for specialized applications, which is where narrow pallet jacks become essential. Designed with a reduced fork spread, these jacks are perfect for navigating tight warehouse aisles, fitting into small delivery vans, or handling unique “narrow” pallets often found in the printing and chemical industries. Despite their slim profile, they are built with the same heavy-duty steel and high-capacity hydraulic pumps as standard-sized units, ensuring you don’t sacrifice power for maneuverability.
You should opt for a narrow model if you work with “printer pallets” or narrow skids, or if you need to maneuver equipment through tight doorways and narrow shelving.
While standard jacks are usually 685mm wide, narrow models typically range between 450mm and 550mm to allow for better clearance.
Yes, it can physically lift it, but because the forks are closer together, the pallet may be less stable. It is always best to match the jack width to your pallet type.
