The following four points should be considered when purchasing an electric forklift:
1. Cargo weight
Choose a tonnage that matches the cargo weight. For example, if you want to carry 2 tons of cargo, choose a 2-ton forklift to avoid choosing a small tonnage that cannot be used or a large tonnage that wastes costs.
2. Shelf height
Make sure that the forklift’s lifting height can meet the shelf operation requirements. Note that the measurement standard should be unified (it is recommended to calculate from the lower surface of the fork), and there is no need to consider if there is no shelf.
3. Aisle width
The width of the shelf aisle must be greater than the width of the forklift’s right-angle stacking aisle (the parameters are provided by the manufacturer) to ensure safe turning.
4. Pallet size
Choose a forklift that matches the existing pallet to avoid replacing the pallet due to the forklift’s incompatibility.
Other considerations:
– Ensure that the warehouse door/container height is greater than the forklift height
– Consider backup batteries based on working hours
– Pay attention to special environmental requirements such as load curves and cold storage
– Floor load bearing and road conditions (slope, flatness) also need to be considered
Key points: Select matching parameters based on actual usage needs, focusing on the four core elements of weight, height, channel and pallet, while taking into account other special working conditions.
