Buy a new Komatsu electric pallet jack if you are thinking about upgrading your material handling equipment.  Manual pallet jack trucks require more effort and operators are more susceptible to physical strain issues as well.  Komatsu forklifts and electric pallet trucks are great quiet machines which do not produce any fumes during operation. 

This makes the unit a great option for warehouse and other closed environment areas compared to using diesel forklifts.  Because electric units are solid state and use a reliable DC motor the maintenance costs for these units are generally low in comparison to internal combustion forklift trucks.

The only disadvantage for using an electric pallet jack truck is that if you forget to recharge your batteries you will have to wait several hours before you can use your electric pallet truck.  You should also be aware that replace batteries can be quite expensive therefore you should make sure you stay on top of your Komatsu electric truck maintenance.  Make sure that you check your pallet truck batteries on a daily basis in order to ensure that they have adequate water levels.  You should also instruct your staff not to perform short mini charges during lunch breaks as that can lead to premature failure and wear and tear with your electric pallet truck battery.

Depending on your exact needs you can find a model with either pneumatic or cushion tires. If you purchase a machine with smooth cushion tires make sure that you do not use it outside. Keep in mind that the wheels are meant to be used on smooth indoor surfaces. You can cause your pallet truck wheels to prematurely wear out if you use your electric pallet jack on rough pavement or other uneven surfaces. If you are thinking about buying a Komatsu electric pallet jack you will first need to determine your overall requirements with regards to your lift capacity.Having the right type of machinery can greatly save you time and increase your efficiency as you can speed up your inventory turnover by speeding up the time it takes to load and unload warehouse shelves.

The price of the Komatsu truck will generally increase as the larger units can handle greater lifting capacity. The ASX and BSX pallet jack series are both capable machines, while the BSX can lift up to 6,000 lbs. Komatsu authorized dealers also sell used, refurbished pre-owned electric pallet trucks in addition to new models. Should you need replacement pallet jack parts you can easily find them online for your electric pallet jack.

Purchasing your Komatsu electric pallet jack directly through an authorized dealer is a great option as it will also give you access to factory recommended financing options as well.  Keep in mind that financing can be less when you purchase from the factory, as their main profit source is usually derived from the sale of Komatsu material handling equipment.
