The basic steps for using an Electric Pallet Truck include: first, performing a safety self-check upon startup; then, controlling forward and reverse movement using the butterfly switch on the control handle; adjusting the fork height with the lifting buttons; and controlling steering with the steering handle during operation. Compared to manual pallet trucks, Electric Pallet Trucks rely on motor power, greatly reducing physical exertion and making them a highly efficient tool for modern factories and supermarkets for restocking.

I. Pre-Operation Preparations: Safety First

Before starting the Electric Pallet Truck, please be sure to perform the following "three-step inspection," which is essential for ensuring safe operation:

• Visual Inspection: Check the electric pallet truck's forks for cracks and ensure that the polyurethane wheels are not entangled with plastic film or ropes.
• Power Check: Observe the battery level display on the dashboard to ensure sufficient power, avoiding sudden equipment shutdown due to low voltage protection when handling heavy objects.
• Emergency Shutdown Test: Press the red "emergency stop button" on the vehicle body to confirm that the equipment can immediately shut down. This is crucial for preventing loss of control.
  

II. Core Operation Process: From Beginner to Expert

Mastering the operation of an Electric Pallet Truck is very intuitive, mainly divided into the following four steps:

1. Starting and Inserting the Pallet

Insert the key or enter the password to start the machine. Place the control handle in the tilted "working position," and press the lowering button to lower the forks to the lowest position. Align with the pallet slots and slowly push the control lever to fully insert the electric pallet truck's forks under the pallet.

2. Fork Lifting

Press the "UP" lifting button on the handle to raise the forks to a height of 30mm-50mm above the ground.

Professional Tip: Do not raise the forks too high during operation to avoid instability and tipping.

3. Driving and Steering

Adjust the vehicle speed using the butterfly switches on both sides of the handle (controlled by the thumb). Pushing forward moves forward, and pulling backward moves backward. The steering of the electric pallet truck is achieved by swinging the handle. When turning, be sure to slow down and pay attention to blind spots.

4. Parking and Charging

Upon reaching your destination, gently lower the forks and park the vehicle in the designated non-traffic area. Turn off the power and connect the charger promptly when the battery level is below 20%.

III. Advanced Techniques: What Details Determine Handling Efficiency?

As a professional manufacturer of Electric Pallet Trucks, we recommend that operators pay attention to the following details:

• Utilizing the Emergency Reverse Collision Button: The large red button at the top of the handle is the "belly switch." If there is a risk of crushing during reversing, this switch, when touched by the body, will immediately force the vehicle to move forward, protecting the operator's safety.
• Mastering Ramp Operation: When using the electric pallet truck on a slope, the forks should always face uphill to prevent the goods from sliding down.
• Differences Between Empty and Loaded Operation: When carrying heavy loads, the vehicle has greater inertia, so the driving switch should be released in advance to use electromagnetic braking for deceleration.

IV. Why Choose a High-Performance Electric Pallet Truck?

• Lithium Battery Fast Charging: Charge for 2 hours, and it lasts all day, eliminating the cumbersome maintenance of traditional lead-acid batteries.
• Stand-on and Walk-behind Options: For long-distance handling, stand-on electric pallet trucks can significantly reduce worker fatigue.
• Adaptability to Confined Spaces: The compact body design allows it to easily turn around in truck compartments or elevators.

Mastering how to use an Electric Pallet Truck not only improves work efficiency but is also fundamental to ensuring warehouse operation safety. If you follow the operating guidelines in this guide, this equipment will become the most reliable assistant in your warehousing chain.
