What is an electric pallet truck?

Share This:

Electric pallet truck, also known as electric pallet jack or jack pallet electric, is a type of handling equipment driven by electricity, mainly used for handling, stacking, and picking up goods in warehouses, factories, docks, and other places. This device can easily move and lift goods on pallets, thereby improving work efficiency and reducing labor costs.

Electric pallet trucks are usually equipped with electrically driven lifting mechanisms and driving wheels. Through operating handles or buttons, operators can easily control their lifting, forward, backward, and turning movements. Compared with traditional manual handling equipment, electric pallet trucks have higher work efficiency, lower labor intensity, and better operational safety.

Application scenarios of electric pallet trucks

Electric pallet trucks are mainly suitable for handling operations from flat points to points. Whether in warehouses, workshops, docks, or airports, it can easily handle various handling tasks. Specifically, electric pallet trucks can be applied in the following areas:

Warehouse management: In the warehouse, electric pallet trucks can efficiently handle and retrieve goods, improving the efficiency of warehouse operations.

Production line logistics: beside the production line, electric pallet trucks can quickly and accurately transport raw materials, semi-finished products, and finished products to designated locations, ensuring the smooth operation of the production line.

Dock and airport loading and unloading: At docks and airports, electric pallet trucks can assist in the loading and unloading of containers, luggage, and other goods, improving loading and unloading efficiency.

The structure of electric pallet trucks

1. Control arm

During the driving process, the electric pallet handling vehicle is controlled by the control arm for walking and turning. The maximum turning angle of the control arm is about 180 degrees.. The braking function is located near the top or bottom of the control arm, and automatically brakes when the power is cut off.

2. Electric pallet truck nameplate

The model number is attached to the nameplate; Rated lifting capacity; Maximum lifting height; Self weight; Factory number.

3. Box cover

Detachable, with good visibility during use.

4. Instrumentation

The power meter, when in normal operation, displays the power value, reflecting whether the battery level meets the requirements.

5. Hydraulic control

The up and down handles on the body panel control the up and down functions.

6. Hydraulic device

Installed inside a fuel tank, compactly equipped with a pump motor, pump, and fuel tank body.

7. Power socket assembly

When charging the battery, unplug the socket with a handle and connect it with the plug on the charger.

8. Drive device with brake

Equipped with electromagnetic powered brake, walking motor, gearbox, and driving wheel, with steering bearings installed between the driving motor and gearbox.

9. Speed control device

Operate normally at 24 volts and adjust the speed through electronic control.

10. Universal support wheel

The left and right universal wheels support the vehicle to ensure stability.

11. Battery

The battery is fixed inside the battery box, with a voltage of 24V and a standard capacitance of 210

12. Pedal

Detachable, only powered by the operator of the pallet handling vehicle standing for use

Classification of electric pallet trucks

Electric pallet trucks can be roughly divided into the following categories based on their functions and structures:

Manual electric pallet handling vehicle:

This type of handling vehicle mainly relies on manual propulsion and completes the lifting operation of goods through an electrically driven lifting mechanism. It has a simple structure and is easy to operate, suitable for lightweight, short distance handling tasks.

Semi electric pallet handling vehicle:

The semi electric pallet handling vehicle combines manual and electric driving methods, and achieves rapid handling of goods through electrically driven lifting and walking mechanisms. It is suitable for medium weight and medium distance handling tasks.

Fully electric pallet handling vehicle:

The fully electric pallet handling vehicle adopts all mechanisms such as electric driving for lifting, walking, and turning, without the need for manual pushing. It has the characteristics of high efficiency, labor-saving, and environmental protection, and is suitable for large-scale, long-distance transportation tasks.

In addition, according to the special functions of the handling vehicles, they can also be divided into various types such as explosion-proof electric pallet handling vehicles, high lift electric pallet handling vehicles, narrow channel electric pallet handling vehicles, etc. These special types of handling vehicles can meet the handling needs of different industries and scenarios.
