Abstract: A pallet truck wheel guard assembly is configured for use on a pallet truck of a type having a spaced pair of rear steer wheels rotatable about an axle residing and steerable within a horizontal plane relative to said pallet truck. The wheel guard assembly comprises a shroud having a width approximately equal to or larger than a spacing between rear steer wheels of a pallet truck. One or more connectors are configured to fixedly attach the shroud only to an axle between the steer wheels of the pallet truck, wherein the shroud is fixed relative to the steer wheels such that a spacing between a bottom edge of shroud and a floor level upon which the steer wheels rest is sufficiently narrow so as to prevent extremities from slipping beneath the shroud and be caught under the pallet jack wheels.

Abstract: A pallet truck wheel assembly for use on a pallet truck comprises an axle extending in a horizontal plane that includes a central portion configured to couple with a steering column of a pallet truck and shoulders at each terminal end of the axle. A pair of rear steer wheels having center bores receiving and rotatable about the axle are mounted on the axle in a spaced-apart configuration so that a central portion of the axle spaces the wheels apart between inboard portions of the steer wheels and the shoulders are exposed on each outboard portion of the steer wheels. A toe guard coupled only to the shoulders of the axle includes a protective element that extends around the back of the wheels and below the axle so that an operator's toes are prevented from sliding under the rear steer wheels of the pallet truck.
