For cattle breeders, there is no reasonable scenario for choosing manual forklifts, as there is a fundamental mismatch between manual forklifts and cattle transportation needs, and such operations are explicitly prohibited by law. If it is necessary to transport cattle or related materials, compliant equipment should be selected according to specific needs. The following is a detailed explanation:

1、 The mismatch between manual forklifts and cattle transportation needs

Equipment design mismatch:

A manual forklift is an industrial equipment designed specifically for cargo handling. Its fork, hydraulic system, and wheels are all optimized for cargo handling needs and cannot adapt to the size and activity requirements 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.

Operational safety risks:

The forklift driver's field of view is obstructed by the forks and cargo, making it difficult to observe the state of the cow (such as whether it is 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.

Laws and regulations prohibit:

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. They are prohibited from transporting live animals.

Transporting 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.

2、 Suggestions for compliant equipment selection for cattle breeding manufacturers

Animal powered cart:

Like ox carts and horse drawn carriages, suitable for short distance and low-speed transportation, with low cost and in line with animal welfare requirements.

Suitable for transporting cattle within or around breeding farms.

Specialized truck:

A truck equipped with ventilation, anti-skid and fixed facilities, suitable for medium to long-distance transportation, can ensure the safety and comfort of cattle.

Suitable for cross regional or long-distance transportation of cattle.

Traction equipment:

Tractors or specialized tractors can be used in conjunction with animal powered trailers to improve transportation efficiency and stability.

Suitable for large-scale breeding farms or scenarios that require frequent transportation of cattle.

3、 Applicable scenarios and limitations of manual forklifts

Applicable scenarios:

Manual forklifts are suitable for short distance handling operations in workshops, warehouses, docks, etc., as well as loading and unloading transportation of flammable and explosive materials such as chemical raw materials and oil depots.

Its advantages lie in low cost, simple maintenance, and flexible operation, making it suitable for budget limited enterprises or lightweight handling needs.

Restrictions:

Manual forklifts are strictly prohibited from being used for transporting live animals, including livestock such as cows and sheep.

When choosing a manual forklift, the selection should be based on the operating environment (such as indoor or outdoor, ground flatness, channel width, etc.) and the characteristics of the goods (such as weight, size, shape, etc.) to ensure operational safety and efficiency.
