What should I consider when purchasing an small forklifts?

The choice of small forklifts is very important, then what should be considered when purchasing an mini forklift truck, the following is a detailed introduction.

1. The weight of the goods

Mini forklift truck have different tonnages ranging from 1 ton to 3.5 tons. When selecting an small forklifts, the user should first know the weight of the goods he wants to carry. For example: If your cargo weighs 2.0 tons, then the 1.6- or 1.8-ton mini forklift truck is not use. Buying a 3-ton is wasteful. After all, the price difference between a 3-ton small forklifts and a 2-ton mini forklift truck is different.

2. Shelf height

Most users use shelf placement materials in order to standardize management and save place. This involves the issue of the height of the small forklifts. The maximum height of the lifting fork of the mini forklift truck must be able to meet the unloading and shoveling on the shelves. However, some people have different standards when calculating the lift height of small forklifts . Someone calculated the lifting height of the fork from the upper surface of the mini forklift truck , and some people calculated the lifting height of the fork from the lower surface of the small forklifts. This is very likely that the purchased mini forklift truck cannot be used because the height of the shelf does not match the lifting height of the small forklifts. Of course, there is no shelf, and the material is placed on the ground without considering this issue.

3. Right angle stacking channel width

To put it simply, it is the safe aisle width of an mini forklift truck that can turn 90 degrees in the aisle. Most of the warehouse shelves are carefully calculated, and the shelves are placed in a limited space to place more goods. This involves the problem of small forklifts turning at right angles between shelves. The width of the right angle stacking channel of the mini forklift truck is calculated from the vehicle design parameters: right angle stacking channel width = turning radius + front dangling + fork / pallet length + safety clearance (about 20cm left before and after the safety gap). For these parameters, the user does not have to be too true, each small forklifts will provide its own right-angle stacking channel width, as long as the user knows that the width between his shelves is smaller than the right-angle stacking channel width of the mini forklift truck.

4. Pallet size

This is especially important for users who already use a large number of trays. The size of the pallet will also affect the selection of small forklifts. For different pallets, the corresponding mini forklift truck should be used.

When purchasing an small forklifts, there are other places that we need to pay attention to. For example, the height of the warehouse door and the height of the container should be higher than the height of the mini forklift truck. At the same time, users who work in three shifts are purchasing small forklifts should also consider whether to distribute the bottle; when the cargo is lifted to a certain height, the rated load of the mini forklift truck is out of load, that is the load curve; in special industries, such as the cold storage with low temperature, the requirements for the small forklifts will be higher; If the car is to be operated on the floor, it is important to consider how much weight the floor can bear per square. There is also a problem with the road surface. The customer's road surface is uneven, the slope, and the wear on the wheels and the motor are very large.
