The Franklin 2.5 Ton Pallet Jack can be found in Harbor Freight stores for the price of $400. It is highly advised that you purchase the tool in person. For some reason, Harbor Freight also sells an online exclusive version for $470, and that doesn’t include shipping and handling. Both versions have the same specs — though, they are listed under different SKU numbers. There’s no indication as to why this is the case.
The standard pallet size is 48 inches by 40 inches, with a fork length of 48 inches. The steering column on the tool comes with oversized wheels for easier maneuverability. There’s a durable sealed pump with an overload safety system as well as the ability to lower any pallet at a controlled rate. Additionally, there’s a three position lift control. Many of the standard pallet jacks on the market tend to be able to handle a maximum capacity of between 3-5,500 pounds. The Franklin 2.5 Ton Pallet Jack can handle near the higher end of that allowance at 5,000 pounds, while still being decently priced compared to other pallet jacks.
