Forklift technical parameters and main performance indicators
Parameters used to reflect the structural characteristics and working performance of the forklift, including performance parameters, size parameters, and quality parameters.
1. Main technical parameters of the forklift
(1) Refers to the maximum mass of the goods allowed to be lifted when the distance from the center of gravity of the goods to the front wall of the vertical section of the forks is not greater than the distance between the load centers when the goods are lifted by the forks.
Rated lifting quality series: 1.0t 1.5t 2.0t 3.0t 4.0t 5.0t 6.0t 7.0t 8.0t 10t 12t 15t 16t 20t 25t 32t 40t, etc.
(2) Load center distance: refers to the horizontal distance between the center of the fork and the front wall of the vertical section of the fork when the goods of standard quality are placed on the fork to ensure the longitudinal stability of the forklift.
(3) Maximum lifting height: refers to the vertical distance from the upper surface of the horizontal section of the fork to the ground when the forklift is on a flat and solid ground, with full load, normal tire pressure, upright gantry, and the goods rise to the highest level.
(4) The mast tilt angle: refers to the maximum angle that the mast tilts forward and backward relative to its vertical position on a flat, solid ground.
Mast forward inclination angle: the function is to facilitate fork picking and unloading of goods;
Mast reverse angle: The function is to prevent the goods from slipping off the fork when the forklift is driving with goods.
(5) Maximum lifting speed: usually refers to the maximum speed at which the goods are lifted when the forklift is fully loaded on a solid ground.
(6) Maximum operating speed: generally refers to the maximum speed that the forklift can reach when it is fully loaded and driving on a dry, flat and solid ground.
(7) Maximum gradeability with full load: refers to the maximum gradient that can be climbed by the forklift when it is fully loaded, on a dry and solid road, and driving at a low speed and a constant speed.
(8) Minimum turning radius: refers to the distance between the instantaneous steering center and the longitudinal center line of the forklift when the forklift is running at low speed with no load and the steering wheel is at the maximum deflection angle.
(9) Minimum ground clearance: refers to the clearance between the lowest point of the vehicle body and the ground.
(10) Minimum width of right-angle aisle: the minimum theoretical width of the aisle intersecting at right angles for forklifts to travel back and forth
(11) Minimum width of stacking channel: the minimum theoretical width of the channel when the forklift is in normal operation.
(12) Minimum width of steering channel: the minimum theoretical width of a straight channel for forklift trucks to turn around.
(13) Maximum height and width: the parameters that determine whether the forklift can enter the warehouse, container, or ship for operation.
2. Main performance indicators:
(1) Loading and unloading: It represents the performance of the forklift's lifting capacity and loading and unloading speed. The forklift has a large lifting capacity, a large load center distance, and a fast working speed, resulting in good loading and unloading performance.
(2) Traction: It indicates the performance of the forklift in terms of driving and acceleration speed, traction and climbing ability. Traction is good for fast travel and acceleration, high traction and grades.
(3) Stability: Stability refers to the ability of the forklift to resist overturning.
(4) Braking performance: It indicates the performance of the forklift to reduce the speed and stop according to the requirements during driving. It is usually measured by the braking distance. The smaller the braking distance, the better the braking performance.
(5) Mobility: It represents the flexible performance of the forklift. Small minimum turning radius, right-angle cross aisle width and right-angle stacking aisle width result in better maneuverability.
(6) Passability: refers to the ability of the forklift to overcome road obstacles and pass through various bad roads.
(7) Maneuverability: refers to the lightness and comfort of forklift operation.
(8) Economy: refers to its construction cost and operating expenses, including power consumption, productivity, ease of use and durability.
