Abstract
A pallet truck hydraulic jack has a base plate mounting a lift cylinder with a reciprocal piston or lift rod and a pump cylinder with a reciprocal pump piston. A cartridge type directional control valve assembly within the base plate controls the flow of pressurized hydraulic fluid in respective manifold passages so that manual actuation of the pump effects a quick lift of the frame when it is unloaded, effects an additional application of lifting force through the lift cylinder when the frame is loaded, bypasses pressurized hydraulic fluid to the reservoir when the frame is overloaded, and provides a release of pressurized hydraulic fluid from the pump cylinder and the lift plunger and returns it to the reservoir for lowering the frame and forks.
