The 2025 Ultimate Guide to Electric Pallet Jacks

Industry Overview: The Electric Revolution in Material Handling

The global electric pallet jack market is projected to reach $4.2B by 2025 (MHI Annual Report), driven by three critical shifts:

1. Labor Optimization: 67% of warehouses now prioritize automation to counter 30%+ turnover rates;

2. Space Utilization: Rising warehouse rents ($9.8/sq.ft in 2025) force narrow-aisle solutions;

3. Regulatory Push: EU 2025/42 mandates ≤55dB noise and ISO 23496-1 safety upgrades.
