An apparatus for load stabilization on a pallet jack includes one or more steerable wheels, a stabilizer member, and an A-Frame, where the A-Frame encloses a plurality of components for mechanically coupling the one or more steerable wheels to the stabilizer member. The stabilizer member is extendable out of at least one side of the pallet jack based at least on an angle of rotation of the one or more steerable wheels. A method for load stabilization on a pallet jack includes receiving a steering angle for one or more steerable wheels of a pallet jack from an angular position sensor. The method includes activating an electric motor for extending a stabilizer member of the pallet jack, where a distance of extension of the stabilizer member is based on the steering angle for one or more steerable wheels of the pallet jack.
