High Lift Pallet Jacks For Ergonomic Load Posiitoning
High Lift Pallet Jacks & Elevated Pallet Lifts
Bishamon high lift pallet jacks combine pallet transport with ergonomic load positioning, allowing operators to move pallets or skids and raise them to a more comfortable working height. Ideal for warehouses, manufacturing, assembly, and packaging applications, these elevated pallet jacks help reduce bending, lifting, and reaching while improving material access and productivity.
For applications that require more vertical travel than a standard pallet truck, Bishamon offers high lift pallet trucks, high lift skid jacks, and ergonomic pallet lifts for standard pallets, CHEP pallets, skids, and open-bottom pallets. These height-adjustable pallet handling solutions support loading, unloading, staging, assembly, inspection, and other repetitive material handling tasks.

High Lift Pallet Jack FAQs
A high lift pallet jack is material handling equipment that combines pallet or skid transport with elevated load positioning. Unlike a standard pallet jack that only raises a load enough to clear the floor, a high lift model raises materials to a more ergonomic working height for loading, unloading, assembly, and staging tasks.
Maximum lift height depends on the model. Bishamon LV and LVE Skid Lifts can raise loads to approximately 32.8 inches, while the UniLift® can reach up to 36 inches unloaded. Always review the specifications for the individual model before selecting equipment.
A standard pallet jack is primarily designed to transport palletized loads at floor level. A high lift pallet jack provides greater vertical travel, allowing operators to position materials at a more comfortable working height while retaining load movement capabilities.
Pallet compatibility varies by product. The UniLift® is designed to handle standard GMA pallets, 48-by-40-inch CHEP pallets, and skids. The LV and LVE Series are designed primarily for skids and open-bottom pallets that allow proper fork access.
Yes. Bishamon’s LV Series uses manual hydraulic operation, while the LVE Series provides battery-powered lifting. The UniLift® also uses a 24V DC battery system for powered pallet lifting and positioning.
Load capacity varies by model and configuration. Bishamon LV and LVE Skid Lifts are available with capacities up to 2,200 pounds, while the UniLift® can handle loads up to 2,000 pounds. Operators should never exceed the rated capacity shown in the product specifications.
Loads should generally be lowered to the safest practical transport position before moving the equipment. Transporting a raised load can affect stability and control, so operators should always follow the product manual and facility safety procedures.
High lift pallet jacks are commonly used in manufacturing, warehousing, packaging, printing, distribution, assembly, and industrial production. They are especially valuable in workflows where materials must be transported and repeatedly accessed at an elevated height.
