If a manual forklift is used to transport cattle, it can cause serious safety hazards, equipment damage, violation of regulations, and reduce transportation efficiency. The specific analysis is as follows:

1、 Safety hazards

Mismatched equipment design makes cows vulnerable to injury: The forks of manual forklifts are rigid structures that cannot adapt to the size and movement needs of cows. Cattle cannot be fixed on forks and are prone to slipping or tipping during transportation, resulting in injury or death of the cattle.

High operational safety risk: Forklift drivers' vision is obstructed by forks and cargo, making it difficult to observe the state of the cattle (such as whether they are standing or struggling), which can easily lead to collision or crushing accidents. Cattle may move, struggle, or excrete during transportation, causing the center of gravity of forklifts to shift and increasing the risk of overturning. The design of forklifts cannot cope with sudden situations such as fright or struggle of cows, making it difficult for drivers to quickly control the situation.

Accident case warning: There have been cases of casualties caused by improper operation of manual forklifts or overloaded transportation. For example, when a worker in a hardware processing factory used a manual forklift to transport a frame, due to the frame being too heavy, the person, frame, and forklift slipped off the rear panel of the carriage together, resulting in the worker's death.

2、 Equipment damage

Overloading leads to premature scrapping of equipment: the weight of cattle usually far exceeds the rated load capacity of manual forklifts. Overloading transportation can lead to premature scrapping of core components such as hydraulic pumps and forks, increasing maintenance costs.

Long term overloading affects equipment stability: Long term overloading transportation can also lead to problems such as frame deformation and increased wheel wear, affecting equipment stability and service life.

3、 Violation of regulations

Regulations on the Management of Special Equipment: According to the Special Equipment Safety Law of the People's Republic of China, forklifts are classified as special equipment and their use is strictly limited to cargo handling. It is prohibited to use them for transporting live animals.

Animal welfare regulations: The transportation of live animals must comply with the Animal Epidemic Prevention Law and the Livestock Law, requiring the use of specialized transportation vehicles (such as animal drawn carts and specialized trucks) and equipped with ventilation, anti-skid, and fixing facilities to ensure animal safety. Using manual forklifts to transport cattle violates these regulatory requirements.

4、 Inefficient

The operation is complex and inefficient: transporting cattle requires frequent adjustment of fork height and direction, and the speed is slow (usually ≤ 5km/h), far lower than the efficiency of specialized animal powered transportation vehicles.

High cost: The purchase, maintenance, and operation costs of forklifts (such as hydraulic oil and tire wear) are much higher than traditional animal powered transportation tools (such as ox carts and tractors).
