What is the biggest difference between a manual forklift and an electric forklift
A customer inquired about the main differences between manual and electric forklifts. Today, Guanhang will discuss the differences between manual and electric forklifts.
Manual forklifts and electric forklifts are structurally similar, and their main difference lies in the driving method. If we only look at the transmission device, there is no difference between the two. Both rely on hydraulic transmission systems to lift the forks and rely on the wheels to move horizontally. The difference lies in the driving method of these transmission devices.
The hydraulic system of a manual forklift is driven by pressing the handle to transmit hydraulic oil, and the movement of a manual forklift can only be completed by manual drive, while an electric forklift is different. The hydraulic transmission of electric forklifts relies on electric drive, which can lift the forks by itself with just one button. At the same time, its movement relies on electric drive, which does not require any manpower and only requires direction control.
From this, it can be seen that electric forklifts are far superior to manual forklifts in terms of work efficiency and ease of use, which is the main difference between the two.
