A powered pallet truck, also known as a PPT, is a pedestrian-operated material handling device used to move pallets and other heavy loads within a warehouse or other work environment. Unlike manual pallet jacks, PPTs are powered by an electric motor, making it easier and more efficient to transport heavy loads over short distances.
