Anyone have a hand crank pallet jack? Something to unload from a truck without the hassle of a full on forklift? I have a pallet jack to move things around on the floor, but I need something to help me get it off the truck!

I looked and everyone wants an arm and a leg around here. I'll just have to keep my eyes peeled!
Don't know what an arm and leg goes for these days but I bet this does since I can't find a price.

I was out clearing some space at my dad's shop, and found an older hand pallet jack style device. I think it'll move high enough to help us get pallets off the trailer, but I definitely need a more permanent solution, especially if I'm talking 5-10 Gaylords a month from this one location.
Have you checked into renting one for a day at a time until you find what you want? I know the daily rates around here run about 75.00 a day.

I haven't, but I have a hoist at the "Big Shop" and a hand crank helper. Worst case scenario I can hand unload everything of the trailer. Just didn't want to. I had to unload all of the deck materials the old man left on the trailer last fall. Always the way it goes..He loads it and I unload it when I need it. You never see me leaving cars on the trailer for 6 months at a time!

Thor, how about a Bobcat, they make forks for them now and they would handle the outdoors terrain better, newer ones are salty but there's some old ones avail.

I really like this idea. The Bobcat will be versatile and useful in other situations, Mike.
