Pallet Jack Safety - Toe Guards

Pallet jacks, also known as pallet trucks, are one of the most important tools in nearly every type of industry. Even if your particular line of work does not have a direct use for them, the truck drivers, dock workers, and warehouse workers who are responsible for components of your business are most certainly using pallet jacks at some point along the way. The paper you use in your printers and copiers, the bottles of water on your cooler, and the cubicle panels that fill your office are all very likely to have spent some time on a pallet jack. So with pallet jacks being used so widely across industries throughout the world, it is highly important to ensure the safety of their operators and those nearby.

We are excited to now offer a pallet jack safety feature that can decrease the risk of injury and can be installed on your current pallet jack: PALLET JACK TOE GUARDS.

What is a toe guard?

A toe guard is pretty much exactly what it sounds like. In this case, it is a field-installable "box" that mounts around the steer wheels of your pallet jack and prevents the steer wheels from rolling over the toes of the operator or anyone else in the vicinity. Quite simply, the box will bump into your toes instead of the wheels rolling over them.

Toe guards are also available on a wide range of casters that we carry, and have been around in the caster world for quite some time, so we can attest to their effectiveness based on decades of use.

We are now offering a range of pallet jack toe guards that can be retrofitted to your pallet jack. They are easy to install - simply remove your steer wheels and steer wheel axle, then replace the axle with the one that comes with the toe guard kit. Next, just reinstall your wheels and install the toe guard.
