Dual-sided pallet puller (DSPP)

A pallet puller for pulling a pallet, the pallet puller comprising:

• a first bar having a first hook disposed on a distal end of the first bar;
• a second bar having a second hook disposed on a distal end of the second bar;
• a link coupled to a proximal end of the first bar and to a proximal end of the second bar such that the first and second bars are able to move with respect to the link and such that the first and second hooks are pointed in opposite directions when the first and second hooks are in contact with each other, wherein a distance between the proximal and distal ends of each of the first and second bars is configured to be greater than or equal to a third of a length of a center stringer of the pallet;
• and
• a line having a proximal end coupled to the link and a distal end terminated in a connection point such that when the distal ends of the first and second bars are inserted into the pallet on either side of the center stringer and when any slack in the line is removed by pulling the connection point in a direction away from the pallet, the first and second hooks are configured to grip the center stringer or to hook into a notch in the center stringer.

A pallet puller for pulling a pallet, the pallet puller comprising:

• a first bar being approximately forty seven centimeters long and having a first hook disposed on a distal end of the first bar, wherein the first hook is an approximately 6.5 centimeter-long wedge connected to the distal end of the first bar;
• a second bar being approximately forty seven centimeters long and having a second hook disposed on a distal end of the second bar, wherein the second hook is an approximately 6.5 centimeter-long wedge connected to the distal end of the second bar;
• a ring loosely coupled to a proximal end of the first bar and to a proximal end of the second bar such that the first and second bars are able to move with respect to the ring and such that pointed ends of the first and second hooks are pointed in opposite directions with respect to each other when the first and second hooks are in contact with each other;
• and
• a line having a proximal end coupled to the ring and a distal end terminated in a connection point.
