Semi-electric High Lift

Auto High Lift Pallet Truck 800mm with Infrared Sensor

  • Automatic Leveling: Integrated infrared sensor detects load height variations, automatically adjusting forks up to 800mm (31.5 in) for ergonomic picking.
  • Rapid Lift Cycle: High-torque electric motor achieves maximum elevation in 10 to 12 seconds, significantly reducing cycle time compared to manual pumping.
  • Structural Rigidity: Features enclosed fork tips and reinforced frames to minimize deflection when supporting 1000kg (2200 lbs) static loads.
  • Operational Versatility: 3-position control handle (Lift, Neutral, Lower) allows seamless transition between transport mode and static workstation mode.
The EHLT-I Series is a semi-electric material handling solution designed to function as both a pallet transport unit and an adjustable workstation. This high lift pallet truck with infrared sensor is specifically engineered for high-volume assembly lines and packaging stations. Its primary innovation is the autonomous lifting system: an integrated photocell monitors the cargo level and automatically engages the hydraulic lift as goods are removed, maintaining a constant working height.
 
Constructed on a reinforced scissor-lift chassis, the EHLT-I supports a Safe Working Load (SWL) of 1000kg (2200 lbs) to 1500kg (3300 lbs) depending on the specific model configuration. The unit features a maximum lift height of 800mm (31.5 in), which it achieves in just 10 to 12 seconds. By automating the height adjustment process, this equipment eliminates the repetitive bending associated with manual palletizing, directly addressing Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) concerns while optimizing workflow throughput.

Performance

Autonomous Infrared Height Control System

The defining technical advantage of the EHLT-I is its closed-loop infrared telemetry system. Unlike standard high-lift trucks that rely on manual hydraulic actuation, this high lift pallet truck with infrared sensor automatically adjusts the fork height relative to the operator. When the sensor detects that a layer of goods has been removed, it triggers the electric motor to raise the forks, maintaining the load at the optimal ergonomic waist height of 800mm (31.5 in). Conversely, during loading, the forks lower automatically. This automation reduces operator fatigue by eliminating spinal strain and increases efficiency by removing the need for manual toggle adjustments.

Reinforced Chassis and Enclosed Fork Geometry

Structural integrity is critical when elevating heavy loads on a single-stage scissor mechanism. The EHLT-I addresses the common issue of fork twisting through the use of enclosed fork tips and reinforced fork frames. This design significantly increases the torsional rigidity of the chassis, preventing deformation when the 1000kg (2200 lbs) load is unevenly distributed. The robust steel construction ensures the unit remains stable as a static work table, even when the scissor mechanism is fully extended to its maximum height.

Optimized Hydraulic and Ergonomic Interface

Efficiency in material handling is dictated by cycle time and operator comfort. The EHLT-I utilizes a powerful electric pump that drives the hydraulic piston from lowered to raised position in 10 to 12 seconds, a massive improvement over the 60+ strokes required by manual pumps. Control is managed via an ergonomic tiller handle featuring a high-friction rubber grip and a mechanical 3-position lever. The “Neutral” position is particularly critical for engineering efficiency; it equalizes hydraulic pressure to eliminate pump drag, allowing the operator to maneuver the truck with minimal rolling resistance during transport.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it better to push or pull an electric pallet jack?

For safety and ergonomics, it is better to push an electric pallet jack rather than pull it. Pushing allows you to stay behind the unit with a clear view of your path, reduces strain on your back and shoulders, and helps you maintain control to avoid collisions or pinching hazards. Pulling can reduce visibility, increase injury risk, and make the equipment harder to steer safely. Most safety guidelines, including OSHA recommendations, encourage pushing as the proper operating method.

What are the performance features of high lift pallet truck?

High lift pallet trucks offer stable lifting, easy operation, and strong maneuverability in narrow spaces. They provide ergonomic benefits by reducing bending and lifting strain for operators. Key features include reliable hydraulic performance, low maintenance, high structural strength, and suitability for various working environments such as warehouses, workshops, and production lines.
