How to choose a suitable pallet truck?

In the selection of logistics handling equipment, the selection of pallet trucks should focus on the three core elements of load-bearing capacity, scene adaptability and practical operation. Only by accurately matching the performance of the equipment with the actual needs can we improve the handling efficiency while reducing the use cost and avoiding resource waste. This is also the core logic of selecting a pallet truck.

Load-bearing parameters: basic considerations based on actual loads

Load-bearing capacity is the most basic performance indicator of a pallet truck. When selecting, it is necessary to take the weight of the daily handled goods as the benchmark, and reserve a certain safety margin. If the weight of the goods that are frequently handled is about 1.5 tons per pallet, it is safer to choose a 2-ton load-bearing pallet truck to avoid long-term full-load operation that affects the life of the equipment. It should be noted that pallet trucks with different structures have differences in load-bearing performance. For example, the stability of the hydraulic system will directly affect the smoothness of lifting and lowering when bearing loads. When selecting, you need to pay attention to this detail to ensure that it can maintain stable operation within the rated load-bearing range.

Scenario characteristics: key factors that determine the shape of the equipment

Different usage scenarios have different requirements for the shape of pallet trucks. When working in narrow warehouse aisles or inside containers, a pallet truck with a compact body and flexible steering is required, and its minimum turning radius must be adapted to the width of the aisle; if it is mainly used outdoors on rough ground, attention should be paid to the wear resistance and shock absorption performance of the wheels to avoid the impact of ground bumps on handling stability; and in scenarios where frequent loading and unloading is required, a pallet truck with a quick lifting function can reduce waiting time and improve overall efficiency. The more detailed the analysis of scene characteristics, the more the selected equipment can meet actual needs.

Operation design: consideration of details that affect the user experience

The convenience of operation is directly related to work efficiency and operator acceptance. Whether the height of the handle is ergonomic and whether the strength of the operating lever is moderate will affect the fatigue of long-term work; details such as the sensitivity of the emergency brake device and the smoothness of the lifting operation will also be important in daily use. High-quality pallet trucks will fully consider these operating details when designing, so that operators can use them proficiently without complex training, reducing the probability of human operating errors.
