A cushioned descending mechanism lowers the forks without the sudden drop that tilts loads and damages product. Two accessories extend it further: a Metal Foot Guard (PFG) and a Pallet Jack Stop (PJS101).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cfigure\u003e\n  \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0742\/2764\/6717\/files\/mighty-lift-ml55hb-hand-brake-pallet-jack-power-unit.jpg?v=1780748983\" alt=\"ML55HB hydraulic pump and tandem polyurethane load wheels with 5500LB frame label\"\u003e\n  \u003cfigcaption\u003eGalvanized one-piece pump with overload protection and tandem load wheels.\u003c\/figcaption\u003e\n\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHand brake\u003c\/strong\u003e for control of heavy or unstable loads — engaging the parking brake immobilizes the unit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCorrosion-resistant galvanized, one-piece pump with overload protection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCushioned descending mechanism to prevent sudden load drop, tilting, and damage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGerman-made seals rated to 60,000 cycles.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eErgonomic handle with a shock-proof grip for hot, sweaty, or cold conditions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eExtra 9\" handle reinforcement for added strength and service life.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3-position hand control lever — raise, lower, neutral.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFoot control mechanism for quick load lowering.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAdjustable push rods to prevent fork damage and load tilting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReinforced high-tensile-strength steel frame.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEntry and exit rollers to prevent hang-ups and keep the operator moving.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e10 pre-lubricated grease zerks at every joint and pivot point to reduce wear.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e7\" polyurethane steering wheels and 3\" polyurethane load wheels.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e210° steering arc for maneuvering in tight areas.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003cth colspan=\"2\"\u003eMighty Lift ML55HB Specifications\u003c\/th\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCapacity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5,500 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFork Size (W x L)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e27\" x 48\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIndividual Fork Width\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6.3\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDistance Between Forks\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e14.37\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLowered Fork Height\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.9\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRaised Fork Height\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7.6\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFork Clearance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.18\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSteering Wheels\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7\" polyurethane\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLoad Wheels\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3\" polyurethane\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUnit Weight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e176 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eShips via freight at 226 lbs; packaged dimensions 65\" x 48\" x 23\".\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does the hand brake do?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEngaging the parking brake immobilizes the jack so it will not roll.
