Our Full-electric Pallet Truck is engineered not just to meet, but to exceed industry standards. By integrating superior materials, precision manufacturing, and user-centric design, we deliver a product that offers unparalleled reliability, efficiency, and long-term value. Let's explore its superior technical specifications.
The exceptional performance of our electric powered pallet truck is a direct result of a meticulous, quality-controlled manufacturing process. We believe in transparency and are proud to showcase the journey of our products, which adheres to strict ISO 9001 quality management standards and ANSI/ITSDF B56.1 safety protocols.
It all begins with superior raw materials. We use high-strength Q345B carbon alloy steel for the chassis and forks, known for its excellent durability and resistance to deformation. All incoming steel undergoes spectroscopic analysis to verify its composition and integrity.
The critical fork structure is created through a die-forging process. This aligns the steel's grain structure, resulting in forks that are significantly stronger and more resistant to fatigue cracking than simple bent-steel alternatives. Key housing components are precision-cast to ensure structural rigidity.
Robotic arms and automated laser cutters shape the frame components with sub-millimeter precision. All bearing housings, axle mounts, and hydraulic cylinder fittings are then finished using CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machining. This guarantees perfect alignment and smooth, efficient operation for the truck's entire lifespan.
The chassis is welded by advanced robotic welders, ensuring deep, consistent, and flawless welds that surpass manual welding in strength and quality. Our skilled technicians then assemble the pre-tested components: the Curtis controller, AC drive motor, hydraulic power pack, and wiring harness.
To withstand harsh environments, from saline coastal air to chemical exposure in industrial plants, every frame undergoes a multi-stage finishing process. This includes shot blasting, a phosphate pre-treatment, and an electrostatically applied powder coat, which is then baked to create a hard, chip-resistant, anti-corrosive finish.
No full powered pallet jack leaves our facility without passing a battery of tests. This includes a 125% static overload test, a dynamic load stability test on a tilt table, brake effectiveness tests, and a full functional check of all electronic and hydraulic systems. This ensures every unit meets or exceeds CE and ANSI safety standards.
A full powered pallet truck is a versatile tool. Its true value is realized in its application across diverse industries, each with unique challenges. Our models are engineered for peak performance in a variety of settings.
In the high-velocity world of logistics, speed and reliability are paramount. Our electric powered pallet truck excels at loading/unloading trailers, cross-docking operations, and long-distance horizontal transport within a facility. Its tight turning radius allows for efficient operation in staging lanes and bulk storage areas, significantly reducing cycle times compared to manual jacks.
On the factory floor, our trucks serve as a vital link in the supply chain, moving raw materials to production lines and transporting finished goods to storage. The quiet, emission-free operation makes it ideal for indoor use, while its robust construction, featuring polyurethane (PU) wheels, can withstand the debris and demanding surfaces common in industrial environments like metallurgy and machining shops.
Narrow aisles and constant interaction with store personnel demand a compact, quiet, and safe machine. The smaller chassis of our retail-focused models, combined with features like an anti-crush belly button and proportional speed control, makes it the perfect tool for replenishing shelves and managing backroom inventory without disrupting the customer experience.
For challenging environments, we offer customization. Our anti-corrosion finishes are ideal for petrochemical plants or facilities handling corrosive materials. For cold storage applications, we provide specialized hydraulic fluids, sealed controllers, and batteries designed to perform reliably at temperatures as low as -30°C. This demonstrates the adaptability and superior engineering of our full powered pallet jack.
"Switching our fleet to QYJULI's electric powered pallet trucks was a game-changer. The operators love them – they're faster, easier to handle, and the battery life gets us through a full double shift. We've tracked our dock-to-stock times and have seen a consistent 35% improvement. The reduction in operator fatigue and strain-related incidents is a massive bonus."
We understand that one size does not fit all. While our standard models cover most applications, we differentiate ourselves by offering tailored solutions. Partnering with us means you get a full powered pallet truck that is a perfect fit for your workflow.
We believe in empowering our customers with knowledge. Here are answers to some of the most common questions about the electric powered pallet truck.
A full powered pallet truck (like ours) has both electric drive (propulsion) and electric lift. A semi-electric model has an electric lift but requires the operator to manually push and pull the truck. Full-electric models dramatically increase productivity and reduce operator strain, especially for applications involving long travel distances or frequent use.
Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries offer significant advantages over traditional Lead-Acid batteries:
Maintenance is minimal but crucial for longevity. Daily checks should include inspecting forks, wheels, battery charge, and control functions. Weekly checks involve cleaning the unit and checking hydraulic fluid levels. Key maintenance includes:
The choice depends on your most commonly handled pallet type. For standard 48"x40" GMA pallets, 48" (1220mm) long forks are ideal. For smaller EURO pallets (800x1200mm), 31.5" (800mm) or 45" (1150mm) forks are common. The overall width should be compatible with pallet entry points; 27" (685mm) is common in the US, while 20.5" (540mm) is more standard in Europe. Using the wrong size can lead to load instability and pallet damage.
Safety is our top priority, compliant with ANSI/ITSDF B56.1 standards. Key features include:
Yes. Our standard models have a gradeability of at least 5% when laden and 10% unladen. This is sufficient for most loading dock ramps. The powerful AC drive motor provides excellent torque for climbing, and the automatic anti-roll-back feature prevents the truck from moving when stopped on an incline.
With proper maintenance, the expected service life of our electric powered pallet truck is 7-10 years, even in demanding environments. This longevity is due to our robust construction and use of high-quality components. We back our products with a comprehensive 1-Year/2000-Hour warranty covering all major components, with extended warranty options available for key parts like the chassis and controller.
