KNOW ABOUT ELECTRIC PALLET TRUCKS

Electric pallet trucks make it easier to move items on pallets. They are battery-powered with power drive and power lift capabilities, which can reduce the need for manual controls and thus increase productivity.

 

Electric pallet trucks are battery-powered and must be recharged after each use. If used continuously, the battery lasts approximately 3-4 hours.

 

The operation of this equipment is classified as pedestrian and does not require a permit. It is recommended that everyone utilizing pedestrian equipment should be trained by a site supervisor and shown how to properly operate the item.

 

The following are the types, features and benefits of electric pallet jacks:

 

Semi-electric pallet jacks

 

Compared to traditional manual pallet jacks, semi-electric pallet movers have a powered drive, which allows the operator to steer and maneuver more easily.

The following are some of the main advantages:

 

Ability to turn with a smaller turning radius

Benefits of electric pallet jacks’ safety features – such as emergency stop, power braking and speed regulation

Improved steering performance

Friendly to the environment

Semi-electric pallet trucks do not have a power lifting function.

 

In order to lift the load, the user must physically pump the hydraulic system in the handle. These are usually available in capacities of 1500 kg or 2500 kg.

 

Electric Pallet Trucks

 

Electric pallet trucks include power drive and lift, which enhances overall control and minimizes the amount of work required by the operator to move the pallet load.

 

The following are some of the main features:

 

Electronically controlled speed limiter, emergency stop, brake and electro-hydraulic lift pump make it safer to use.

The operator does not need to exert any physical effort and can concentrate on using the electric functions and focus on the direction of the load

Environmentally friendly

Heavy-duty electric pallet trucks

 

These are excellent for heavy-duty, long-distance material handling. These are sometimes available with a riding option for operators to transport items in huge warehouses, which improves time efficiency. To improve maneuverability in a wider range of applications, these employ a variety of safety features that are more pronounced than typical walk-behind pallet trucks. Pallet trucks with a capacity of 2000 kg or more are classified as heavy-duty.

 

Key features:

 

Stop button in case of emergency

Suspension device for smoother operation

Anti-backward function to prevent slipping on slopes

Crawl function controlled by handle position

How do I maintain my electric pallet truck?

 

Regular maintenance is essential for all battery-powered pallet trucks. Listed here are the most critical features that need to be checked and considered to keep the unit in top operating condition.
