The 1043 is a basic standard manually-operated pallet truck with a three-position control and eight-inch wheels.

This model was listed in the ULINE catalog for 2008 at $279 USD. The listing indicates that the H-1043 weighs 186 pounds, has a forty-eight inch fork area (27-inch width), and can carry up to 5500 pounds. It is yellow with a black handle and red/black wheels. Its capacity is the same or higher than other models offered by ULINE.

Other such trucks available from the same company include narrow, long, short, low-profile, and deluxe versions. Motorized electric models are also available; these move heavy pallets more easily, though their power consumption and more complex mechanism increases costs.

NOTE: 5,500 pounds = about 2,495 kilograms
