This seems like a simple question. But when faced with manual pallet trucks and electric pallet trucks, there are always many factors that can affect your choice, and making a decision is not an easy task. When you are faced with such a choice, you might as well ask yourself the following questions first.

1. How big is your warehouse space?

Larger warehouses usually mean longer driving distances, so "electric" is a better solution, which allows you to work more efficiently and keep your drivers from getting too tired.

2. Load capacity

If you need a large load capacity, an electric pallet truck will be a safer choice, because a bigger load may cause the manual pallet truck to become unstable and cause safety problems.

3. Ground condition

There is no doubt that the hand pallet truck can work smoothly on flat ground. However, if there are slopes or ramps on site, the manual pallet truck will be more difficult, and the electric pallet truck is undoubtedly a better choice. (Too strenuous operation will cause your driver to get tired easily and work inefficiently)

4. Drivers

Manual pallet trucks require more physical effort. Therefore, when purchasing a pallet truck, the intensity of the on-site working conditions and the strength and load capacity of the driver should also be combined.

Electric pallet trucks are relatively more expensive, but at the same time you gain efficiency, get twice the result with half the effort, and reduce the risks that drivers may face. In the long run, it is definitely worth the money.
