Difference between manual forklift and electric forklift

The manual forklift and the electric forklift are similar in structure, and the main difference between them is mainly reflected in the driving mode. If we only look at the transmission device, there is no difference between them. Both rely on the hydraulic transmission system to complete the lifting of the forklift and rely on the wheels to complete the smooth travel. The difference lies in the driving mode of these transmission devices.

The hydraulic system of the manual forklift is driven by hydraulic oil by pressing the handle. The movement of the manual forklift is the same as that of the manual forklift. The electric forklift is different. The hydraulic transmission of the electric forklift depends on the electric drive. The lifting of the forklift can be completed by one button. At the same time, its travel depends on the electric drive. It does not need to consume any manpower and only needs to control the direction.

It can be seen that the electric forklift is far better than the manual forklift in terms of work efficiency and ease of use, which is the main difference between the two.
