Electric material handling trucks-logistics equipment designed for moving goods-generally refer to electric pallet trucks.
The electric pallet truck is a piece of logistics handling equipment used in warehousing and cargo transfer operations. Belonging to the third generation of handling equipment (typified by electric forklifts), it is powered by a battery. Available configurations include walk-behind, stand-on, and side-stance models, with common rated load capacities of 1.5 or 2 tons.
The equipment utilizes an electric motor to drive the hydraulic system for lifting and lowering palletized loads. Its compact design and tight turning radius make it suitable for operation in narrow aisles. Key features include energy efficiency, zero exhaust emissions, and low noise levels; some models incorporate electronic steering systems for enhanced ease of use and precision, as well as advanced battery technology to extend operating range.
