Description
-The Mighty Lift ML55L is a heavy-duty manual pallet jack rated to move 5,500 lbs on a reinforced, high-tensile steel frame. Its defining feature is a set of specially developed Super Poly steering and load wheels that require less initial static pulling force than standard poly wheels — the truck breaks from a standstill with noticeably less effort, which reduces operator fatigue and the back strain that comes with starting a loaded pallet moving.
The hydraulics are built for hard, continuous duty. A corrosion-resistant galvanized one-piece pump carries built-in overload protection, and a cushioned descending mechanism lowers the load smoothly to prevent sudden drops, tilting, and product damage. German-made seals are rated for 60,000 cycles, and low-temperature hydraulic fluid keeps the pump working in cold storage while protecting the seals against temperature swings — suiting the ML55L to refrigerated and freezer environments as well as high-traffic supermarket and retail floors.
Operator controls are built for long shifts: an ergonomic handle with a shock-proof grip stays comfortable in hot, sweaty, or cold conditions, with an extra 9-inch handle reinforcement for added strength. A 3-position hand lever (raise, lower, neutral) and a foot control give quick, precise load command, while a 210° steering arc makes the truck easy to maneuver in tight aisles.

FAQ
-How much can the ML55L lift?
It is rated for 5,500 lbs, carried on a reinforced high-tensile-strength steel frame with a galvanized one-piece pump that includes built-in overload protection.
Can it be used in cold storage or freezers?
Yes. The ML55L uses low-temperature hydraulic fluid that keeps the pump working in cold environments and protects the seals against temperature fluctuation, making it suitable for refrigerated and freezer applications.
What makes it a “low resistance” pallet jack?
Its specially developed Super Poly steering and load wheels require less initial static pulling force than the standard poly wheels used on most manual pallet jacks, so the loaded truck is easier to start moving and puts less strain on the operator.
What are the fork dimensions?
The forks measure 27" across overall (W) by 48" long (L), with 14.37" between the two forks and an individual fork width of 6.3". They lower to 2.9" and raise to 7.6", with 1.18" of fork clearance.
