The Kaixun KX-QDCX15 fully electric pallet truck is designed for durability, efficiency, and operator safety. Built with a high-strength welded steel frame, it withstands heavy loads, impacts, and vibrations while ensuring stability. Powered by gel batteries, it delivers 6–8 hours of continuous operation, making it a reliable choice for warehouses, workshops, and other demanding environments.
With features like a multifunctional control handle, PU dual tires, and a compact turning radius, the KX-QDCX15 offers both power and maneuverability. Let’s explore its key components and advantages.
1. Multifunctional Handle
The handle is designed to simplify control while prioritizing operator safety.
- Lift Button: Activates the hydraulic unit to raise the forks; stops upon release.
- Lower Button: Opens the return valve to lower forks; halts descent when released.
- Forward/Backward Knob: Controls travel direction and speed. Greater rotation results in faster movement.
- Red Emergency Reversal Button - at the Top of the Multifunctional Handle: A protruding safety switch that automatically reverses the truck if it approaches the operator. This reduces collision risks caused by blind spots or misjudgments.
- Horn Button: Provides audible alerts in low-visibility, congested areas, or emergencies.
- Turtle Mode: Limits vehicle speed for precise handling. When active, knob rotation does not affect speed.
This intuitive system combines safety, precision, and ease of use—making operations smoother even in high-traffic environments.
2. Control Panel
The truck’s control panel is built with safety and monitoring functions:
- Emergency Stop Switch: An emergency power-off feature that can manually stop all operations in case of sensor or control system failure, preventing vehicle loss of control and potential collisions.
- Key Switch: Restricts use to authorized personnel, preventing theft and misuse.
- Battery Indicator: Displays charge level via LED bars. When power drops below 20%, lift functions are disabled, and warning indicators flash to signal charging requirements.
3. Battery System
The KX-QDCX15 is equipped with two gel batteries, delivering 6–8 hours of continuous use.
Key Advantages
- Longer Lifespan: Gel batteries typically last longer under comparable duty cycles.
- Stable Power Output: Provides steady power output, unlike lithium alternatives that are more prone to voltage fluctuations..
- Safety: Lead-acid gel technology uses a non-liquid electrolyte, making it less prone to leakage or explosion. It also avoids risks of over-discharge and over-charge common with lithium batteries.
- Low-Temperature Reliability: Maintains discharge performance in cold environments, ensuring functionality in extreme weather.
- Environmental Benefits: Materials can be recycled and reused, making gel batteries more eco-friendly than lithium options.
However, there are some drawbacks, such as lower energy density, longer charging times (usually requiring 6-8 hours for a full charge), and heavier weight.
Usage Precautions
- Operate between -20°C and 45°C; optimal range: 15°C–35°C.
- Charge at 15°C–25°C for best performance.
- Store fully charged; recharge monthly during long-term storage to counter self-discharge.
- Ensure ventilation during charging.
- Avoid overcharging and deep discharge; use manufacturer-recommended chargers.
4. PU Dual Tires
The truck uses polyurethane (PU) dual tires, offering improved stability and service life compared to single nylon wheels.
- Shock Absorption: PU tires, due to their elastic material, effectively absorb vibrations and keep noise levels below 50 decibels (referencing the "Industrial Wheel Noise Test Standard"), making them ideal for quiet environments such as hospitals and offices. For example, in the same size, PU tires provide about 40% better shock absorption than nylon tires.
- Durability: Lab tests show PU tires last twice as long as nylon tires on tile floors (testing conditions: 100kg load, 5km daily rolling).
- Traction: PU has a higher coefficient of friction (0.6-0.8) compared to nylon (0.2-0.4), providing better grip on slippery surfaces.
- Load Capacity: PU tires can carry up to 200-500kg per tire (depending on hardness), while nylon tires usually carry 100-300kg. The high elasticity of PU reduces impact damage, making them ideal for transporting delicate equipment.
Advantages of Dual Tires Over Single Tires:
- Load-Bearing Capacity: Dual tires distribute the load, reducing pressure on each tire, making them more stable and durable for frequent heavy loads or long-term high-load operations.
- Stability & Safety: Dual tires have a larger contact area, stronger grip, and shorter braking distance. They provide better anti-slip protection on slippery surfaces and during sharp turns, reducing accident risks.
- Durability & Maintenance Cost: With dual tires sharing the pressure, the wear on each tire is more even, extending their lifespan. Additionally, the dual tire setup means that when maintenance is needed, the whole tire set is replaced, reducing maintenance costs.
- Versatility: Dual tires are better suited for more complex terrain, providing better traction and stability in harsh environments.
Maintenance Requirements
- Avoid exceeding load limits.
- Regularly remove debris (metal shavings, gravel, sharp objects).
- Lubricate wheel bearings every 3–6 months.
Application Scope: Suitable for indoor, flat, and clean environments (warehouses, hospitals, food and pharmaceutical industries). Not recommended for outdoor rough terrain or extreme conditions.
5. Fork & Pallet Compatibility
The standardized fork structure design ensures compatibility with international standard pallet sizes and automation equipment (e.g., stackers, AGV forklifts), ensuring pallets from different brands and models can be used interchangeably in storage and transport settings.
6. Hydraulic Pump Station
The integrated hydraulic pump station combines pump, motor, and oil tank.
Benefits
- Compact Structure: Saves space and reduces connections.
- High Efficiency: The short hydraulic lines and good seals minimize pressure loss and improve efficiency.
- Fewer Leak Points: High integration reduces plumbing connections, lowering the risk of leaks.
Maintenance Guidelines
- Inspect oil levels regularly.
- Replace hydraulic oil every 6–12 months with clean N46 hydraulic oil.
- Stop operations if abnormal noise or leaks occur.
7. Additional Features
- Frame: Made of high-strength steel, welded to withstand the weight of the load and impacts during transportation, ensuring vehicle stability and safety.
- Energy-efficient, Eco-friendly, Low Noise: The electric pallet truck runs at only 65 dB with zero emissions, making it environmentally friendly.
- Turning Radius: Just 1440 mm, perfect for narrow aisles.
8. Safety Guidelines
To maximize safety and product lifespan:
- Always keep batteries charged—avoid running on low power as it may damage the battery.
- Fully insert forks before lifting loads.
- Do not overload or unevenly load, or use only one fork for lifting.
- Never allow riders on the pallet truck.
Conclusion
The Kaixun KX-QDCX15 pairs a welded steel frame, gel-battery power (6–8 h), integrated safety controls, and PU dual tires with a 1440 mm turning radius to deliver stable, low-noise handling in clean indoor environments. Adhering to the specified temperature/charging practices and routine maintenance maximizes uptime and service life.
