Why should a manual forklift be used with a pallet? Can't goods be directly placed on the arrival fork?Recently, a netizen raised such a question. At first, the question seemed to be reasonable, which once made people wonder whether it was unnecessary to use pallet. However, if you think carefully, you can clearly understand the significance of using manual forklift with pallet.
First of all, we need to be clear that the purpose of using pallets is to expand the bearing area. It is not enough just to rely on the force bearing surface of forks. When facing some scattered objects, there is no pallet as the bearing platform, and there is no place to place pallets. This is enough to illustrate the importance of pallets.
Moreover, the manual forklift basically does not have the brake function. When we need to place the goods in a certain place, stability is the key. At this time, the pallet power is required to directly act on the ground to maintain the stability of the goods, while the fork with wheels cannot maintain the stability, and also occupies the handling equipment.
Based on the above two points, we can basically understand why manual forklifts should be used with pallets, because only in this way can the safety and efficiency of manual forklifts be brought into full play.
