[0005] Secondly, in the prior art, after the pneumatic ladle is transferred to the specified height by a forklift, in the process of adjusting the angle, the worker needs to rely on skilled driving skills to operate the forklift to achieve a good adjustment effect. The adjustment is relatively troublesome and requires high driving skills of the workers. Utility Model Content
