As a lightweight handling tool, manual hydraulic forklifts (also known as "ground oxen" or "manual hydraulic pallet trucks") have five core advantages: economy, flexibility, safety, ease of use, and low maintenance costs. The specific analysis is as follows:
1、 Economy: Low cost investment, high cost-effectiveness option
Low procurement cost
The price of manual hydraulic forklifts is only 1/5 to 1/10 of that of electric forklifts, making them suitable for small warehouses, supermarkets, or temporary work scenarios with limited budgets. For example, the price of a basic manual forklift ranges from 1000 to 3000 yuan, while the starting price of an electric forklift usually exceeds 20000 yuan.
Controllable operating costs
No energy consumption: relying on manual operation, no need for electricity or fuel, long-term use can save a lot of energy costs.
Easy maintenance: Hydraulic systems and bearings are usually maintenance free, requiring only regular checks of oil levels and lubrication of key components, resulting in extremely low maintenance costs.
2、 Flexibility: The 'Flexible Dancer' in Narrow Spaces
Compact structure, small turning radius
The manual forklift is designed to be lightweight, with a body width typically between 60-80 centimeters. It can complete standard pallet turning within a 1.8-meter-wide aisle, making it suitable for warehouses or retail environments with dense shelf spacing.
Adapt to multi scenario assignments
Indoor and outdoor use: Wear resistant nylon or polyurethane wheels can adapt to flat ground, and some models are equipped with anti-skid tires, suitable for low temperature, humid or slightly sloping environments.
Fire and explosion prevention scenarios: No sparks or electromagnetic fields generated, meeting the safety requirements of flammable and explosive places such as pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and oil depots.
3、 Security: Multiple protections to reduce operational risks
Overload protection mechanism
Built in overflow valve and pressure reducing valve, automatically release pressure when the system pressure exceeds the safe value (such as 1.65MPa), preventing hydraulic system damage or cargo tipping.
Stable structural design
Anti torsion steel structure fork: made of high tensile channel steel, with a circular fork tip design to reduce pallet damage, and guide wheels to ensure smooth insertion of the fork into the pallet.
Low level control valve: After the goods are off the ground, adjust the control handle to the middle position to lock the height and avoid accidental sliding.
Ergonomic protection
Rudder stem protector: The operator's hand is wrapped in a sturdy protector to prevent squeezing or scratching.
Emergency braking device: Some models are equipped with the function of automatically locking the fork when the tilt angle exceeds 3 °, preventing the cargo from slipping.
4、 Usability: Zero threshold operation, quick to get started
Integration of three core functions
The lifting, handling, and lowering actions can be completed through a single control handle, with simple operation logic and no need for professional training. For example:
Pressing: Press down the handle, and the hydraulic system lifts the fork;
Drag: Adjust the handle to the center position and drag the goods after they are off the ground;
Unloading: Lift the handle up and the goods land smoothly.
Adapt to different load requirements
The carrying capacity covers 1-5 tons and can be equipped with extended forks, galvanized/stainless steel materials, or electronic weighing functions to meet the diverse needs of industries such as food, pharmaceuticals, and logistics.
5、 Low maintenance cost: worry free and labor-saving, durable and long-lasting
Maintenance free design
Hydraulic system: Adopting fully sealed welded oil pump, leak proof and reliable, without the need for frequent replacement of hydraulic oil or seals.
Bearing: Sealed bearing design reduces dust intrusion and extends service life.
Durable material selection
Fork: made of high-strength steel or stretch resistant channel steel, wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant;
Wheels: Wear resistant nylon or polyurethane wheels, with low rolling resistance and a lifespan of up to 3-5 years.
