Regarding the solutions for the Electric power handle retrofit of manual pallet trucks:
Electric Conversion Kit Products
Currently, there are mature electrification retrofit solutions in the market. For example, the eBST electric pallet truck model can convert a manual pallet truck into an electric version. This kit includes core components such as a dual-motor system, an intelligent control handle, a lithium battery, and a charger. It supports hydraulic lifting and can operate continuously for 2 hours, with a maximum load capacity of up to 2000 kg. In addition, some hybrid models (such as T20/T20i) support switching between manual and electric modes. They are equipped with brushless motors and IoT functions, facilitating operation monitoring.
Core Components for Retrofit
Power System: Usually uses a 48V lithium battery (such as with a capacity of 15Ah or 30Ah) to provide stable power and support fast charging.
Control System: Integrates electronic steering, speed regulation (up to 5.6 km/h), and safety protection features (such as overload detection and emergency braking).
Mechanical Adaptation: It is necessary to ensure the compatibility of the forks of the manual pallet truck with the electric drive system. Some retrofit solutions require adjusting the fork spacing or adding adapters.
Advantages and Applicable Scenarios
Efficiency Improvement: After electrification, the handling speed is faster (up to 5.0 km/h), reducing human fatigue and being suitable for high-frequency warehousing operations.
Cost Optimization: Long-term use can reduce labor costs, and the maintenance cost of lithium batteries is lower than that of traditional lead-acid batteries.
Environmentally Friendly: Zero-emission design conforms to the modern industrial trend of greening.
