Warehouse carts are at the very beginning of the list of small machines used in storage facilities. Two-wheeled platform, stacker trucks and hand pallet trucks- is the most unpretentious and simple assistant’s loaders, saving labor time and reduce the harmful physical stress. Operation of any warehouse pallet truck is not difficult for the staff of the warehouse, there is no need for complex maintenance. The powered pallet trucks are the only type of storage transportation equipment, with which you can manually move the pallet with the load, many times greater than the total weight of equipment (hence the comparison with the ant). Hydraulic trolley with hand-piling and electrostack meant to serve the small area with a small cargo depots, but the role of auxiliary equipment they use, and major shopping centers, warehouses and terminals, and industrial enterprises.

Technical design

As a “power unit” from the hydraulic trolleys and trolley stacker stands HPP (jack). Hydro pushcart is located on the rotating platform with two driving wheels. Hydro actuated by inflating pressure blower (plunger) handle. Using the handle is the movement and management of truck. Forks trolleys are connected to waterworks with crank and a pair of rods that are attached to the forks with rollers arranged on them. The design of hydraulic fork trucks can pick up a pallet from any side, for convenience in cross-capture of pallets at the ends of forks are podkatnye rollers. As a rule, all carts hydropower are very reliable, which is not the vilah. Some unscrupulous manufacturers an apparent discrepancy ability to withstand Fork claimed load, so when choosing a particular model should not only focus on the qualitative characteristics of hydropower.

Features

Almost all the pallets that are used in our country, have two standard sizes - 800h1200mm (EUR) and 1000h1200mm (FIN), so the most common models of pallet trucks have external dimensions that allow it to transport those pallets. Basic models of trucks are fork length equal to 1150mm, total width and the distance between the forks - 540mm and 220mm respectively. From the floor to the top of the fork in the closed position of 85mm and a maximum height to which a standard hand truck can lift the pallet is 200mm. These options make it easy to seize the pallet with cargo and transport it, not paying attention to small irregularities of the floor. Net weight hydraulic trolley around 80kg, and the rated load shall not exceed 2-2,5 tonnes.

Design variants

Warehouse trolleys in addition to the standard of performance are made in a variety of modifications, which can be roughly divided into two groups. The first group includes techniques to changes in both the large and in the lower side of length and width of the pitchfork. These carts are used to handle multiple pallets at a time, long goods transportation, custom pallets, when working in confined spaces. Among the trolleys, stackers are model with adjustable forks. The second group consists of models of special purpose - trolleys with brakes, with weights, with forks under the coils, to move off-road, trucks 4-way, which can not rearrange the pallets to move in four directions, as well as trucks for work in hostile environments. Hydraulic truck with scissor lift (scissor truck series XP) - the only kind of warehouse trucks with lift forks to a height of 800mm. Scissor trolley are available in manual modification, and with an electric lift. The design of scissor carts did not allow for movement in the raised position of the pitchfork.
