Both manual pallet trucks and electric pallet trucks are widely used in logistics, warehousing, industrial and mining enterprises, construction and other fields. There are some significant differences between them. Let's take a look!
1.First of all, it can be seen from the literal meaning that when a manual pallet truck is carrying pallets or goods, walking and lifting are all done manually. It uses a small hydraulic device, which is simple to operate and easy to use. The design of the handle conforms to the principle of ergonomics.
2.The electric pallet truck uses a battery as the power source, uses an electric motor to drive the vehicle, and the fork lifting relies on a DC motor and hydraulic transmission. Its driving mode is standing posture, and the steering operation is carried out by a tiller. It has the characteristics of labor saving, high efficiency, smooth operation, simple operation, safety and reliability, low noise, and no pollution.
3.In terms of configuration, manual transport trucks usually use a simple manual hydraulic pump for lifting, while the configuration of electric transport trucks includes power batteries, drive motors, drive wheels and other components.
4.In terms of carrying capacity, manual transport trucks rely on human operation, so the carrying capacity is limited. Electric transport trucks rely on electricity and drive wheels, so the carrying capacity is usually larger than that of manual transport trucks.
5.In terms of speed, electric pallet trucks are a piece of cake! Only motor drive is needed, just like a galloping horse, much faster than those manual pallet trucks that rely on manpower. Manual pallet trucks rely on manpower to move forward step by step, like a snail. It is indeed a bit embarrassing, but don't underestimate the perseverance and naivety of manual pallet trucks. They don't know what "giving up" means at all.
6.When it comes to lifting speed, manual pallet trucks need to rely on manpower to continuously move the hydraulic cylinder up and down to achieve lifting, which is like repeatedly lifting the barbell in a weightlifting competition, while electric pallet trucks are much smarter. You only need to operate the button on the handle and click it to quickly rise, just like flicking your fingers and completing the task in an instant!
7.In terms of work efficiency, electric pallet trucks are simply "efficient warriors". Relying on the power system, they can easily complete the loading and unloading and transportation work. They only need to manually control the handle, which is simple and convenient. In contrast, manual pallet trucks rely on manpower, have limited working hours, and sometimes need to rest. After all, people are not machines. Electric pallet trucks are like that friend who can help you share the work at any time and can do everything.
Of course, it is undeniable that manual pallet trucks also have their own advantages. They rely on manpower for transportation, are easy and flexible to operate, and are environmentally friendly and energy-saving. In contrast, electric pallet trucks use electronic control and hydraulic components, and the price is relatively high.
