Protects the operator & bystanders
By encasing the pallet jack’s wheels, Foot Guardian helps prevent accidental injuries to the operator’s feet in case of wheel rollover, creating a shield at the point of contact. This design also safeguards nearby bystanders by minimizing the risk of a load falling or a wheel rolling over stray objects. In essence, it forms a safety buffer that guards both the user and people around the pallet jack.
Protects the pallet jack
The wheel-encasing design of Foot Guardian keeps debris—like small pieces of wood or other loose materials—from getting lodged in the wheels. By preventing debris from interfering with wheel operation, it helps reduce the risk of long-term damage, reducing maintenance and ensuring smoother handling. That protection extends the equipment’s service life and keeps it functioning reliably.
Protects the load
Debris under the wheels can destabilize a load, risking tipping or uneven movement—Foot Guardian mitigates this by blocking such debris from coming into contact with the wheels. By promoting smoother, obstacle-free movement, the load stays steady and secure while being transported. This helps maintain the integrity of stacked goods and reduces the chances of damage or accidents during transit.
What’s so special about the “FootGuardian® device”? We designed a pallet jack foot guard that improves operator safety and diverts debris from the pallet jack’s path. In addition to preventing injuries, our device also helps you avoid loss of time and production. “FootGuardian® device” is constructed of 5lbs. of welded steel plates that easily attach to the post between the wheels with a mostly universal mounting bracket. The guard provides additional foot protection with 3/8 of an inch of carbon steel between the foot and the wheel. The simple attachment prevents the foot from touching exposed pallet jack wheels.
Our self-adjusting guard navigates ramps and various terrains effortlessly, maintaining full steering range while diverting debris for smooth, continuous operation.
Easily transfer the FootGuardian between virtually all manual pallet jacks, preventing costly lost time and production due through a durable, long-term safety solution.
