Detailed explanation of the characteristics, application scope, and operating specifications of manual forklifts

1、 Product Features

Structure and dynamic characteristics

Human driven: No need for fuel or electricity, goods can be lifted and lowered manually through hydraulic pumps, suitable for scenarios without power or high environmental requirements.

Compact and flexible: With a small volume and small turning radius, it can freely shuttle through narrow passages (such as between 1.8-meter-wide shelves), making it suitable for space constrained environments.

Lightweight design: With a light weight (such as only 82kg for the basic model), it is easy to handle and store, while maintaining a high-strength structure (such as high tensile channel steel forks).

Safety and durability

Safety protection: Equipped with overload protection pressure reducing valve (automatically releases pressure when the pressure exceeds 1.65MPa), emergency braking device (locks fork when tilted over 3 °), and mechanical locking handle to prevent accidental slipping.

Durable materials: Made of stainless steel chassis (corrosion-resistant, acid alkali resistant), polyurethane tires (explosion-proof, wear-resistant), and galvanized hydraulic cylinders (moisture-proof), extending the service life.

Sanitary design: no dead corner cavity structure, food grade lubricants, and enclosed fork tips, meeting high hygiene standards in industries such as pharmaceuticals and food processing.

Convenience of operation

Ergonomic handle: Integrated pressure, lifting, and walking control rods, comfortable to operate and in compliance with safety regulations.

Low noise operation: No engine noise, suitable for places sensitive to environmental noise such as hospitals and libraries.

2、 Application scope

Core application scenarios

Warehouse logistics: cargo loading and unloading, stacking, and short distance transportation to improve operational efficiency (such as warehouse to truck transfer).

Manufacturing: Handling of raw materials, semi-finished products, and finished products between processes to ensure smooth operation of the production line.

Supermarket retail: shelf replenishment, product organization, and back-end warehouse management to reduce the labor intensity of store staff.

Logistics distribution: loading and unloading of goods by trucks and refrigerated trucks, reducing labor dependence and accelerating turnover speed.

Special industry adaptation

Fire and explosion prevention locations: Suitable for flammable and explosive environments such as oil depots, chemical warehouses, printing workshops, etc., as they do not generate sparks or electromagnetic fields.

Low temperature environment: Anti freezing design ensures normal operation in low-temperature scenarios such as cold storage.

Hygiene sensitive areas: industries such as food processing plants and pharmaceutical companies that require high hygiene standards.

Other scenes

Catering industry: Kitchen raw material handling and storage.

Airport/Farm: Luggage loading and unloading, transportation of agricultural products.

Construction site: Handling of building materials and tools.

Office space: Short distance movement of documents, archives, and furniture.

3、 Operating standards

Pre use inspection

Hydraulic system: Check whether the hydraulic cylinder leaks and ensure that the lifting function is normal.

Pulley device: Remove foreign objects and test rotational flexibility.

Tire condition: Confirm that there is no wear or damage to avoid unstable driving.

Operation steps

Pressing: Turn the control handle to the lower position, press the directional handle to press, and the weight of the goods must not exceed the limit.

Cargo pulling: After the goods leave the ground, turn the handle to the middle position and move slowly. Running or sharp turns are prohibited.

Unloading: After reaching the destination, turn the handle to the upper position to relieve pressure until the goods land.

Empty operation: Press and lift the forklift appropriately to avoid friction between the front axle and the ground.

Safety precautions

Load limit: Overloading, unbalanced loading, or single fork operation are strictly prohibited, and the length of the fork must be ≥ the length of the pallet.

Stable handling: Keep the goods stable and avoid loading loose or fragile items (manually supported if necessary).

Speed control: Driving speed ≤ 3 kilometers per hour, slow down when turning, and do not operate on slopes or steep slopes.

Personnel protection: During operation, keep your body away from mechanical lifting components, forks, and under the cargo. Stop working when your line of sight is obstructed.

Environmental requirements: Avoid using on muddy or uneven ground to prevent collision with others or equipment.

Maintenance and Storage

Regular maintenance: lubricate the wheel axle, sealing ring, and bearings, check the wear of the casters, and replace damaged parts.

Standardized storage: Do not lower the time and space load to the lowest position, store in designated areas, and prohibit operations with defects.
