Abstract

The present application discloses a pallet truck for transporting window-shaped pallets, comprising a forklift body, a fork arm assembly and two load-bearing wheels. The fork arm assembly is movably arranged on the forklift body. The fork arm assembly has a movement stroke that moves up and down relative to the forklift body. The fork arm assembly comprises two fork arms spaced apart along a width direction of the forklift body. The two load-bearing wheels are respectively movably arranged on each fork arm. In an up and down direction, the load-bearing wheels have a movement stroke close to and away from the fork arms.

Claims (26)
