Full analysis of the characteristics, application scenarios, and operating specifications of manual forklifts

1、 Product features: practicality and safety as the core

Structural design and material advantages

Lightweight and High Strength: Adopting high-strength steel forks and torsion resistant steel structural frames to ensure load-bearing stability (rated load 1-5 tons), while reducing operational fatigue through lightweight design. For example, the Junhengli AMX I15 series adopts a stainless steel chassis, which is corrosion-resistant, acid and alkali resistant, and suitable for high humidity or chemical erosion environments.

Flexibility and adaptability: The fork width is adjustable (compatible with European/American standard pallets), and the narrow design supports turning within a 1.8-meter wide channel, meeting the efficient utilization needs of storage space.

Hygiene and safety design: The closed fork tip prevents debris from splashing, and the cavity structure without dead corners avoids pollutant residue, in compliance with EU hygiene standards; Hydraulic pipelines use food grade lubricants to meet the requirements of industries such as pharmaceuticals and food processing.

Power and operational performance

Hydraulic system optimization: a single pump pressure completes the full stroke lifting and lowering of the fork, reducing labor intensity; Overload protection pressure reducing valve (such as automatic pressure relief when system pressure exceeds 1.65MPa) and series double pulley bearing structure (reducing cargo center of gravity deviation by 42%) enhance safety.

Tires and brakes: Polyurethane solid tires avoid the risk of tire blowouts, and wear-resistant nylon has low rolling resistance for the front and rear wheels; The emergency braking device automatically locks the fork when the tilt angle exceeds 3 °, preventing the cargo from slipping off.

Economy and environmental friendliness

Zero emissions and low noise: No fuel engine, low operating noise, suitable for indoor and low-noise environments (such as hospitals and schools).

Low maintenance cost: The hydraulic system and bearings are designed to be maintenance free, requiring only regular lubrication of movable components to reduce long-term usage costs.

2、 Application scenario: Covering the needs of multiple industries

Warehousing and Logistics

Core scenario: Warehouse cargo loading and unloading, stacking, short distance transportation, especially suitable for narrow channel operations (such as shelf to shelf handling).

Case: The Junhengli AMX I15 series achieves 300 lifting cycles/single charging (electric version) in e-commerce warehouses, improving sorting efficiency.

manufacturing

Process support: Handling of raw materials, semi-finished products, and finished products between various processes on the production line to ensure production continuity.

Advantages: Flexible shuttle between workshops, adaptable to different sizes of goods, reducing manual handling labor intensity.

Supermarket Retail

Daily operation: restocking and organizing goods from the backend warehouse to the shelves, supporting the transportation of small daily necessities and large boxed goods.

Value: Reduce cargo collision losses, improve shelf efficiency, and lower operating costs.

special industries

Fire and explosion prevention locations: designed without sparks and electromagnetic fields, suitable for flammable and explosive environments such as oil depots and chemical warehouses.

Hygiene sensitive fields: The pharmaceutical and food processing industries use stainless steel materials and enclosed forks to meet high hygiene standards.

Other scenes

Catering industry: Kitchen raw material handling and storage.

Agriculture: Short distance transportation of agricultural products from fields to warehouses.

Construction site: handling and placement of building materials and tools.

3、 Operating standards: equal emphasis on safety and efficiency

Pre operation inspection

Hydraulic system: Check for leaks in the hydraulic cylinder and ensure the effectiveness of the pulley device.

Forks and tires: Confirm that the forks are not damaged, the tires are worn properly, and there are no foreign objects wrapped around them.

Lubrication and fastening: Regularly lubricate the wheel axle and sealing ring, and tighten loose wheel axles and nuts.

operating procedure

Pressing and lifting: Turn the control handle to the lower position, press the directional handle to press, and adjust the handle to the center position after the goods are off the ground.

Handling and driving: Keep the forks stable, with a speed not exceeding 3 kilometers per hour, and slow down when turning; Running or emergency stopping is strictly prohibited.

Unloading and Storage: After arriving at the destination, turn the handle to the upper position to relieve pressure. After the goods land, lower the fork to the lowest position with no load and store it in the designated area.

Safety precautions

Load limit: Overloading, unbalanced loading, or single fork operation are strictly prohibited, ensuring that the fork length is equal to or greater than the pallet length.

Environmental restrictions: It is prohibited to operate on muddy, uneven ground or slopes (operators are not allowed to stand directly in front).

Personnel safety: During operation, no part of the body should be placed under mechanical lifting components, goods, or forks; It is strictly prohibited to work when the line of sight is obstructed.

Maintenance and scrapping: Regular maintenance, timely repair or scrapping of damaged equipment, and prohibition of working with defects.

4、 Market Trends and Selection Suggestions

Market size and growth

The Chinese manual forklift market: It is expected that the market size will increase from 15 billion yuan to 22 billion yuan from 2025 to 2030, with a compound annual growth rate of 6.5%. The main driving factors include the expansion of manufacturing and logistics industries, as well as the development of e-commerce.

Segmented markets: Industrial grade (58% market share) and warehouse grade (22% market share) are the main players, with significant demand growth for special manual forklifts (such as food grade and explosion-proof).

Key selection points

Load requirement: Select the rated load (1-5 tons) based on the weight of the goods.

Environmental adaptability: Stainless steel material is selected for humid or chemical environments, and spark free design is selected for fire and explosion prevention places.

Channel width: Compact design is preferred for narrow spaces (such as 1.8-meter channel turning).

Additional features: The weighing function can be selected as an electronic scale forklift, and the high-frequency usage scenario can be selected as an electric hydraulic model to improve efficiency.
