The lower fork bottom is provided with a motor, a synchronous belt driving wheel driven by the motor, and a double-sided tooth synchronous belt driven by the synchronous belt driving wheel. The lower surface of the middle fork is provided with a longitudinal tooth plate. The double-sided tooth synchronous belt directly matches the lower surface of the middle fork, reducing the overall thickness. The lower fork, middle fork and upper fork are made of aluminum plate, reducing the overall weight of the goods taking plate fork.
