The lifting cylinder 41 is started to push the panel 42 up and down. Suction cups 43 are installed at the four corners of the panel 42, which generate suction through air pressure to firmly adsorb the pallet. During the lifting process, the lifting cylinder can quickly adjust the height to achieve accurate up and down transportation of items. Multiple guide devices 6 are set on both sides of the loading device 5, including columns 61 and guide rollers 62. The material and surface treatment of the guide rollers (such as rubber or polyurethane coating) can reduce friction and ensure smooth operation of the items during movement. The guide device supports and guides the items to prevent tilting, falling, etc. during movement or transportation, thereby ensuring the safety of operation.
