FOR SALE USED SAMAG BRAND PALLET TRUCK WITH NOMINAL CAPACITY 1600KG.

### Operating principle of the Samag 1600 kg Manual Pallet Truck

The manual pallet truck is an essential tool for moving heavy loads within warehouses, factories and other industrial facilities. The Samag 1600 kg is a model designed to lift and transport pallets or similar loads with a maximum capacity of 1600 kg.

**Main operating phases:**

1. **Insertion of the Forks:** The forks of the pallet truck, which are two parallel blades, are inserted under the pallet or load to be lifted.
   
2. **Lifting the Load:** Using the tiller lever, the operator pumps the handle up and down. This movement activates a hydraulic pump, which in turn raises the forks, lifting the load off the ground.

3. **Load Handling:** Once raised, the pallet truck can be moved manually by the operator. The wheels, usually made of nylon or rubber, allow easy movement on flat and smooth surfaces.

4. **Lowering the Load:** To lower the load, the operator uses a lever on the tiller which slowly releases hydraulic pressure, thereby lowering the forks and load to the ground.

### How to use it

1. **Preparing the Pallet Truck:** Before use, make sure that the pallet truck is in good condition, checking the integrity of the forks, wheels and hydraulic system.

2. **Inserting the Forks:** Bring the pallet truck closer to the pallet or load and insert the forks completely under the pallet.

3. **Lifting the Load:** Place the tiller lever in the lift position and pump the handle until the load is lifted a few centimeters off the ground.

4. **Handling:** Move the pallet truck manually to the desired destination. Make sure the path is free of obstacles and that the floor is adequate for the safe transport of the load.

5. **Lowering:** Once you reach your destination, use the lever to slowly lower the forks and deposit the load safely.

6. **Removing the Forks:** Once the load is on the ground, pull the pallet truck backwards to remove the forks.
