Common Types of Manual Lifting Equipment Today

Manual lifting equipment is an optimal solution in warehousing equipment, helping to move and lift goods without the need for electricity. Utilizing human power or manual mechanisms such as hydraulics and pneumatics, these devices offer flexibility and cost savings. Naltako, specializing in providing hydraulic hand pallet trucks, delivers durable and efficient products for industrial facilities. The article below will provide detailed information about manual lifting equipment and solutions from Naltako.

What is Manual Lifting Equipment?

Manual lifting equipment refers to tools or lifting machines that use human power or manual mechanisms such as hydraulics, pneumatics, or lead screws to lift, lower, and move goods during transportation operations. They do not require a power source, making them suitable for warehouses, construction sites, or narrow spaces. Their main roles include:

• Increased efficiency: Reduces manual labor, accelerates loading and unloading.
• Flexibility: Used in places without electricity, such as outdoor warehouses.
• Cost savings: Requires no fuel, simple maintenance.

For example, hydraulic hand pallet trucks make it easy to lift pallets weighing several hundred kilograms. Naltako provides hydraulic lift tables, supporting the lifting and lowering of goods in warehousing equipment.

How to choose the right material handling equipment for your needs

Common Types of Manual Lifting Equipment

Common types of manual lifting equipment include:

• Low-profile hand pallet trucks: Lift pallets close to the ground, capacity up to 3 tons, used in narrow warehouses.
• Manual stackers (High-lift hand pallet trucks): Lift up to 3.5m, capacity up to 5 tons, ideal for racking.
• Rough terrain pallet trucks: Large rubber wheels, move on uneven surfaces, capacity of 1-2 tons.
• Drum handling equipment: Specialized for lifting barrels, capacity of 300-500kg.
• Portable hydraulic jacks: Lift up to 50 tons, used in auto repair or industry.

Manual chain hoists can lift from 500kg to 10 tons, to heights of 6-9m, suitable for spaces without electricity.

Maximum Load Capacity of Manual Lifting Equipment

Manual lifting equipment can lift from a few hundred kilograms up to a maximum of 10 tons, depending on the type:

• Hand pallet trucks: Capacity of 1-3 tons, lifts close to the ground.
• Manual stackers: Capacity up to 5 tons, lifting height of 3.5m.
• Manual chain hoists: Lift 500kg to 10 tons, lifting height of 6-9m, used in narrow spaces.
• Portable hydraulic jacks: Lift up to 50 tons, suitable for heavy industry.

Safe Use of Manual Lifting Equipment

To use manual lifting equipment safely:

• Pre-use inspection: Ensure lifting forks, plastic wheels, and the safety brake system are working properly.
• Do not exceed load capacity: Respect limits, for example, hydraulic hand pallet trucks max out at 3 tons.
• Use brakes: The forklift brake system keeps the equipment stationary, preventing slipping during lifts.
• User training: Instruct on proper operation to prevent accidents.
• Proper storage: Store in a dry place to avoid damaging the lifting control unit.
