The whole family of trucks is revealed, who is the king?

The aerial handling vehicle family, including lifting platform trucks, articulating boom trucks, stacker trucks, self-lifting trucks and four-wheel forklifts, each has its own merits, let's take a closer look at their characteristics and application scenarios.

1. Lifting platform trucks

The lift truck is a self-propelled platform operation vehicle, which is good at vertical lifting operations, and is widely used in electric power, municipal and garden fields.

Advantages: Simple operation: automatic leveling function, easy to learn

Working at height: Height-adjustable work is also possible in tight spaces

Good stability: four-wheel drive, strong stability, low requirements on the ground

Shortcoming:

Height restricted: The lifting height is limited by the boom length and load capacity

Higher price: Compared with other types of aerial work trucks, the price is higher

Second, the curved arm carrier

Curved arm carrier

The articulated boom truck has the functions of telescoping, pitching and rotating, and has a wide range of applications, which are commonly used in municipal, power and garden operations.

Merit:

Wide range of operation: the boom can be retracted and pitched, and the operating range is wide

Flexible operation: equipped with a variety of attachments to meet different operation needs

Adaptable: It can be operated in small spaces and uneven places

Shortcoming: 

Load constraints: Boom strength and stability affect load capacity

High maintenance costs: Booms and attachments are fragile, and maintenance costs are high

3. Stacking trucks

The stacker is designed with a rigid boom, which is suitable for large cargo and aerial work.

Merit:

High load capacity: The rigid boom gives a strong load capacity

Working at height: unloading and working at height

High operation efficiency: the boom is long, the working radius is large, and the efficiency is high

Shortcoming:

High site requirements: spacious site operation is required

Difficult to operate: only professional operators can carry out accurate operations

Height restricted: The height of the boom is limited, and it is not possible to operate on super high-rise floors

Fourth, the self-body climbing car

Semi-automatic self-climbing vehicle

The self-climbing truck adopts a scissor boom structure, which is specially designed for high-altitude work. 

Merit: 

Aerial work: strong obstacle crossing ability, and high-altitude work is barrier-free

Easy to operate: push-button operation, easy to get started

Good stability: mechanical locking system to ensure stable work at height

Shortcoming:

Limited load capacity: The structure limits the load capacity

High site requirements: it is necessary to level the site for operation

High maintenance costs: The scissor mechanism and locking system need to be checked regularly

5. Four-wheel forklifts

Four-wheel forklift is a large professional lifting equipment with strong lifting and handling capacity. 

Merit:

Strong lifting capacity: it can withstand large weights and heights

Strong professionalism: suitable for ports, wharves and other lifting scenarios

High degree of automation: Sensors and control systems are automated

Shortcoming: 

High maintenance cost: the structure is complex and the professional maintenance cost is high

High site requirements: a flat and spacious site is the premise of the operation

Difficult to operate: Only professional operators can ensure accurate operation

epilogue

The advantages and disadvantages of lifting platform trucks, articulated arm trucks, stackers, self-climbing trucks and four-wheel forklifts are different, and the actual needs and application scenarios need to be fully considered when choosing high-altitude handling vehicles
