Hand pallet truck is a common logistics handling equipment, which is widely used in warehouses, factories, supermarkets and other places. Due to its simple structure and convenient operation, it is used by many companies and individuals for short-distance cargo handling. However, as the use time increases, the handling performance of the hand pallet truck may be affected in many ways, which in turn affects work efficiency and safety.
After long-term use, wheel wear is one of the important factors affecting handling performance. The wheels of hand pallet trucks are usually made of different materials, and different ground environments will accelerate the degree of wheel wear. When the wheel surface becomes rough or partially damaged, the resistance will increase when dragging the pallet truck, and it may become less flexible when turning. In addition, if the wheel bearings lack lubrication for a long time, it will also cause poor operation and make the operation laborious.
The aging of the hydraulic system will also affect the handling performance of the pallet truck. The hydraulic device is the core of the lifting function of the pallet truck. After long-term use, the hydraulic oil may leak or be contaminated, and the sealing ring may also age. These problems will cause the pallet truck to be unstable in lifting and lowering, and may even fail to lift or lower normally. In addition, wear of the internal parts of the hydraulic system can also cause a sense of blockage during use, reducing the overall smoothness of control.
The sensitivity of the handle and control device may also decrease after long-term use. Hand pallet trucks usually rely on handles to control the direction and lifting functions. If the connection of the handle is loose or the internal mechanism is worn, the operation may be slow or unstable. This not only affects the user experience, but may also bring safety hazards during operation.
Long-term load use may also cause the fork structure to deform. The fork of the pallet truck needs to bear the weight of the goods. If it is often overloaded or heavy objects are carried on unstable ground, the fork may be slightly bent or the welding part may be loose. This change may not affect the use immediately, but after a long period of accumulation, it will cause the stability of the fork when placing the goods to decrease, affecting the safety of cargo handling.
Environmental factors also affect the handling performance of the pallet truck. If the pallet truck is in a humid or dusty environment for a long time, the metal parts may rust, resulting in poor operation of the connection parts. In addition, dust and debris may enter key components such as axles and hydraulic systems, affecting their normal operation and increasing the difficulty of control.
In order to reduce the impact of these problems on the handling performance, daily maintenance is particularly important. Regularly checking the wear of the wheels, keeping the hydraulic system clean, and ensuring the sensitivity of the handle and other control components can effectively extend the service life of the pallet truck and improve the smoothness of the operation.
