What are the characteristics of pallet trucks
A pallet truck is a storage and logistics equipment used for transporting palletized goods, typically characterized by the following features:
1. Convenient operation
Compact and flexible: With a compact body design and small turning radius, it can freely shuttle through narrow passages and limited spaces, such as between warehouse shelves, workshop workstations, and other narrow areas, achieving efficient handling of goods.
Easy to operate: Generally, manual hydraulic or electric control is used, and the operating handle is designed ergonomically. Workers can proficiently operate and complete actions such as cargo handling, lifting, and lowering through simple training.
2. Efficient handling
Fast handling: The electric pallet handling vehicle has a moderate driving speed and good acceleration performance, which can quickly transport goods from one location to another, effectively improving logistics handling efficiency.
Strong adaptability of pallets: They can be used in conjunction with various standard sizes of pallets, such as 1200mm × 1000mm, 1100mm × 1100mm, and other specifications of pallets. They have good versatility and can adapt to the cargo handling needs of different enterprises.
3. Cost economy
Low price: Compared to other large warehousing and logistics equipment such as forklifts, pallet trucks have lower purchase costs and are a cost-effective cargo handling equipment for some small and medium-sized enterprises with limited budgets.
Low maintenance cost: The structure is relatively simple, mainly composed of frame, fork, hydraulic system or electric system, with a small number of components and low failure rate. Daily maintenance work is simple and the maintenance cost is also low.
4. Safety and reliability
Good stability: Adopting a reasonable frame structure and counterweight design, with a low center of gravity, it can maintain good stability during the transportation of goods, and is less prone to safety accidents such as rollover.
Reliable braking: Equipped with a reliable braking system, such as manual brakes or electromagnetic brakes, it can quickly brake when needed, ensuring the safety of operators and cargo.
5. Environmental Protection and Energy Efficiency
No pollution: Electric pallet trucks are powered by batteries and do not produce exhaust emissions during operation, which does not pollute the environment. They are particularly suitable for use in indoor places such as warehouses and workshops with high environmental requirements.
Low energy consumption: The motor power is relatively small, and an energy-saving control system is adopted, which not only meets the transportation needs but also has low power consumption, reducing the operating costs of the enterprise.
