i just bought one in RI the guy has 10 used ones for sale for 85 bucks each. i would put a link but dont know if its allowed. nice to have to keep the pallets in tack and be able to move them around the garage
The real question is, can you move a pallet with a ton of pellets on it? Most pallet jacks are rated for 2 tons or more. As long as you can push or pull it, they should do it.

Now, will the handle fold down or can it be removed? I would need to get it into the back of my Matrix. It would fit as long as I can do something with the handle.
On most normal pallet jacks, I am sure the handle can be removed in some way. It also does sort of "fold" down because that is how you jack it up but most are spring loaded to go back into place. I guess it is possible to have someone hold the handle down and load it up, but it will extend the length of the unit for as long as the handle is as it doesn't "fold" onto itself, it goes down away from the unit towards you.
just remember you are handling 2000 lbs the pallet jack will lift it like nothing but you do need a bit of muscle moving it around, not saying you have to be Schwarzenegger but would be difficult for a person without any strength or conditions

1 ton should be easy to move provided you are on a smooth surface. We use pallet jacks everyday at work. Often it's easier to use one vs grabbing a forklift.
I deliver many tons a year with one. If you have a dirt floor the roll loaded on 3/4 plywood no problem also. Small stones stop the little wheels fairly easy though. $85 is a great price wish I was closer. I payed $225 for one at Harbor freight and that was on sale.
