A forklift driver loads 26 pallets in a trailer. If it takes him 45 minutes to load a trailer, how many trailers will he load in an 8 hour day?
Powered pallet jacks, also known as electric pallet trucks, walkies, single or double pallet jacks, are motorized to allow lifting and moving of heavier and stacked pallets. These generally contain a platform for the user to stand while hauling pallets around a warehouse or loading/unloading trucks. The powered pallet jack is generally moved by a throttle on the handle to move forward or in reverse and steered by swinging the handle in the intended direction. Some contain a type of dead man's switch rather than a brake to stop the machine should the user need to stop quickly or leave the machine while it is in use. Others use a system known as ``plugging`` where in the driver turns the throttle from forward to reverse (or vice-versa) to slow and stop the machine, as the dead man's switch is used in emergencies only.
