Electric pallet trucks do not belong to special equipment. If it is manual advance and retreat and hydraulic lift, it does not belong to the control range. If it is of electric advance and retreat or electric lifting type, and the lifting height exceeds 2m, it is recommended to manage it according to special equipment. The lifting height of electric pallet truck is less than 2m, which is not special equipment.
At present, all electric pallet trucks, semi-electric pallet trucks, manual pallet trucks, semi-electric stackers, manual hydraulic stackers and other equipment do not need to apply for annual inspection permits, because their operations are more manual than motorized.
But driving an electric pallet truck requires a forklift driver's license to work. Some companies take chances. Forklift trucks in driving without a license are illegal, which leads to frequent forklift accidents and brings serious consequences to social companies and families.
