For certain operations, the productivity benefits of electric pallet trucks far exceed the additional costs. Here is a way

 to list the advantages and disadvantages

Manual tray jack: advantages and disadvantages

The manual pallet handling vehicle is the most basic option for pallet handling vehicles. The capacity is usually between

 5000 and 5500 pounds (Toyota's manual pallet jack has a capacity of 5500 pounds), and the operation is simple.

Advantages:

Manual pallet trucks have lower initial costs and lower maintenance costs

Manual pallet trucks have a very basic design and can be used with almost any type or size of pallet

Using manual pallet trucks requires almost no training

Disadvantages:

Using manual pallet trucks to transport goods on large facilities may be laborious

Compared to electric pallet jacks, manual pallet jacks are more prone to injury

The capacity of manual pallet trucks may be limited by the handling capacity of workers

Electric tray jack: advantages and disadvantages

The function of an electric pallet truck is the same as that of a manual pallet truck - with the help of an electric motor. 

The motor not only drives the pallet truck, but also helps to lift and lower the forks. Therefore, compared to manual 

forklifts, electric forklifts can lift forks higher. The electric pallet jack can be used for several hours before charging is 

required. The capacity range of a basic electric pallet truck is 2000-6000 pounds.

For operations that only require horizontal rather than vertical movement of products, electric pallet trucks may be a 

cheaper alternative to forklifts. Due to the operator standing on the equipment, it is easier to avoid collisions, so using 

a pallet truck can also provide better visibility.

Advantages:

Reduced operator pressure

Improve productivity, especially in large facilities

More suitable for mobile high pallet stacking

Disadvantages:

Electric tray jacks have higher costs

Compared to manual equipment, electrical components require more maintenance

Compared to manual operation, it takes longer to completely stop the machine

Employee training required
