A manual high catch provides a cost-effective solution for lifting and transporting opened pallets within industrial environments like manufacturing facilities, warehouses, and logistic centers. It consists of a frame with a pair of forks and a hydraulic pump that is operated manually. This design is particularly suitable for situations where opened pallets need to be lifted to higher levels. With a maximum height of 700 mm, users can avoid the need to bend or stretch excessively to reach the loads. This not only helps prevent injuries such as back strains and sprains associated with manual handling but also enhances workplace efficiency. Users can effortlessly move and lift the loads without exerting excessive physical effort.
