　　The attic platform shelves divide the overall warehouse space into two and three, with a general design of 2-3 floors. They are mainly used for manual storage and retrieval of goods, and can also be transported to the second or third floor using lifting platforms or forklifts. Forklifts can be used on the ground floor. On the other hand, the load-bearing capacity of the floor is relatively small. Generally, customers design a load-bearing capacity of 200KG-800KG per square meter, so heavy-duty forklifts cannot walk on the floor, and the load-bearing capacity of the attic is not enough.

　　However, manual small hydraulic forklifts are not a problem. This forklift is lightweight and can walk on the shelves of the attic platform. However, the bearing capacity of the attic must be considered. When using a manual hydraulic forklift to pick up goods, the weight of the goods is exerted on the attic floor panel by the three wheels of the forklift. Compared to the goods lying flat on the attic, the floor panel has to bear a greater force within the area. Taking a loft with a carrying capacity of 300kg/square meter as an example, the cargo placed on a 1m * 1m pallet is 200kg. In this case, there is no problem using a manual hydraulic forklift to access the cargo. The special situation is that if it is a specially designed pallet of 2m * 1m or larger, it meets the load-bearing requirements when storing goods on the attic floor. However, when using a forklift for storage and retrieval, the force borne by the floor panel in the same size area becomes 400kg, exceeding the designed load-bearing capacity of the attic, and there is a high possibility of floor panel depression, To use a forklift for access, it is necessary to install shelves with greater load-bearing capacity. So when determining the design scheme, it is necessary to comprehensively consider and analyze based on the actual usage scenario.
