BT L2300U Hand Pallet Truck Operating Instructions

The BT L2300U is a manually-operated hand pallet truck, designed to transport weight loads of up to 5,000-pounds. Hand pallet trucks offer a simple means to move or arrange pallet loads, where using a large motorized fork truck may be prohibitive or impractical. Operating the BT L2300U in the correct manner will help promote a safe working environment, while reducing the chances of damaging loads or surrounding equipment.
