The invention describes a pallet truck (200), which comprises a drive frame (110) on which a drive wheel support (130) is pivotably supported, a load frame (120), which is liftable with respect to the drive frame (110) in a lifting direction (L) and a hydraulic lift module (100), which interconnects the drive frame (110) and the load frame (120). The invention further describes the hydraulic lift module (100), which comprises a hydraulic lift cylinder (10), which comprises a cylinder barrel and a piston rod, wherein the cylinder barrel comprises a cap end at one end portion of the cylinder barrel and a rod end at the other end portion of the cylinder barrel, wherein the piston rod extends outwards from the cylinder barrel at the rod end of the cylinder barrel and wherein a free end of the piston rod is accommodated in the drive frame (110). In the lifting direction (L), the cap end of the cylinder barrel is arranged above the rod end of the cylinder barrel. The hydraulic lift module (100) further comprises a hydraulic unit (50), which is hydraulically connected to the hydraulic lift cylinder (10), wherein the hydraulic unit (50) is configured to provide and generate a hydraulic fluid flow actuating the hydraulic lift cylinder (10), and wherein the hydraulic unit (50) is attached to the cylinder barrel (16).
