Forklift Truck

A forklift truck refers to various wheel industrial trucks used for loading and unloading, stacking and short-distance transportation of pallet cargo and packed goods. It plays an important role in the logistics system of enterprises and is a major materials handing equipment. Now forklift trucks are widely used in railway stations, ports, airports, factories, warehouses and other fields. Forklift trucks are commonly grouped into internal combustion forklifts, electric forklifts and warehouse forklifts.

To choose the model and configuration of a forklift truck generally concerns the operating functions, operation requirements and operating environments. The basic operating functions of forklift trucks include horizontal handling, stacking and unstuffing, loading and unloading, and sorting. According to the functions required, the model can be selected preliminarily. In addition, special operating function will affect the specific configuration of forklift. If a forklift truck is used to handle sheet rolls or hot metal, attachments should be installed on forklifts to fulfill special functions. The operation requirements of forklift trucks cover the size of pallet and cargo, lifting height, the width of operations channel, climbing capacity. Meanwhile, work efficiency and working habits should also be considered. Operating environment is the last factor for choosing a forklift truck. If forklifts work in refrigerator or in an environment with explosion-proof requirements, the configuration of forklifts should be cold-type or explosion-proof type. In addition, there are some things that should be paid more attention to. When forklifts get in or out of the warehouse, the height of door should be considered; when forklifts get in or out of the elevator, the elevator's height and load capacity should be considered; when forklifts work upstairs, the floor load capacity should meet relative requirement; and so on.
