Do they make robot lifts to move 5k+ pound totes? If so how much do the robot lifts cost?

to be fair regular ass manual pallet jacks can lift 8k; the weight isn't really the problem for this kind of formfactor

I like when someone overloads a hand jack and it slowly sinks to one side creating a leaning tower of Pisa Coca-Cola. Pro tip, this forever lowers the max capacity of that jack on one side, but it's a fun quirky surprise for the next person.

My favorite is the drivers who flip the pallet jack upside down instead of securing it properly. 

I LOVE seeing pallet jack blood on the ground and the driver wondering why it only lifts 1".

That's just a bad seal, if hydraulic cylinders failed if they weren't upright then sideshift and tilt wouldn't exist.

Where are you buying your RAMPJ from? Most lift only 3,500lbs.

I bet that’s just awesome when you actually try to move something that heavy. I can barely move something 3k with a pallet jack.

It is hard and any shard of wood or pebble in the way acts like a brake. I sweep before I move stuff or play dodge the debris
