Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model generally relates to the field of forklifts, and in particular to an off-road portable electric power-assisted forklift. Background Art

[0002] Forklifts are commonly used for transporting goods. Manual forklifts are dual-purpose vehicles for short-distance transportation, lifting, loading, and unloading, using manual pulling to complete transport operations. They are the simplest, most efficient, and most common pallet transport tool for loading, unloading, and transporting, and are widely used in logistics, warehouses, factories, hospitals, schools, shopping malls, airports, stadiums, and bus stations. Existing manual forklifts are often bulky, with poorly designed parts, and are unable to withstand strong winds and sudden high winds. Their hard, inelastic wheels make them inadequate for use in specialized workplaces, such as mountainous areas where they are often used on muddy roads, primarily muddy surfaces (with a loose top 5cm); fine gravel roads and uneven, low-adhesion gravel surfaces (with a loose top 5cm); and slippery mud and stone roads (with a loose top 2cm, containing a small number of bumps or pits, such as stones, branches, and clods of earth, no larger than 5cm in diameter). Forklifts require manual mechanical operation, resulting in low efficiency.
