Bob created a video of how to secure a pallet jack while empty.
Due to the nature of our business, we need to carry a pallet jack. I hear about pallet jacks because they are difficult to restrain when not in use going down the road. Some strap it to the wall, and others have a device that you can set the steering wheels in, and that will keep it from rolling around. I had another driver show me how he attached a chain with an e-track clip to the jack. He then jacks up the jack, pushes it up against the front of the trailer next to the wall, hooks the clip into the e-track, and lets down the jack. This will tighten the chain holding the jack from moving. A loose pallet jack can be considered unsecured cargo, CSA points that could easily be avoided.
