What are the evaluation criteria for the purchase of electric forklift?

 

In the making of purchase standard, many enterprises are often unable to make reasonable judgment on product quality because they do not understand the professional knowledge and technology of electric forklift. Generally speaking, the superior performance of high-quality electric forklift is often reflected in high efficiency, low cost, high reliability, good ergonomic design, convenient service and many other aspects.

1. High efficiency

High efficiency not only means high speed (driving, lifting and descending speed), but also means that the time for the operator to complete a work cycle is very short, and this efficiency can be maintained throughout the working time. Many factors can improve efficiency:

① Speed grade of electric forklift, such as driving speed, lifting speed, etc;

② The application of ergonomic design reduces the number of operations;

③ Accuracy of operation;

④ The application of ergonomic design can minimize fatigue;

⑤ Good eyesight;

2. Low cost

When an enterprise purchases and uses an electric forklift, the annual total cost includes:

① Procurement cost;  ② Maintenance cost;  ③ Energy consumption cost;  ④ Labor cost;

The purchase cost will be shared equally throughout the service life of the electric forklift. Therefore, the high price forklift will reduce the purchase cost because of its longer service life.

The actual maintenance cost is not only related to the cost of maintenance parts, but also related to the failure rate or failure time. Therefore, high-quality forklift has low maintenance cost due to its low failure rate.

Energy costs will vary depending on forklifts equipped with different power systems, such as electricity, diesel, LPG or gasoline.

Labor costs vary with the number of drivers and their total monthly salary. Due to the use of efficient forklifts, the number of drivers will be reduced.

3. High safety

The safety design of electric forklift should fully ensure the safety of driver, goods and forklift itself. High quality forklift often considers every detail and every possibility in safety design.

4. Ergonomics

Ergonomics is a science widely used in product design, especially in improving the operating environment. Its purpose is to maximize the production efficiency by reducing driver fatigue and improving operation comfort.

In the design of electric forklift, ergonomics is embodied in all aspects

① Reduce the driver's operation fatigue: the unique design can reduce the driver's operation action and make the operation more labor-saving; ② Comfort: the humanized design can keep the driver in a good mood and reduce operation errors; ③ Good vision: provide a good vision for the operation process of electric forklift, not only improve the efficiency, but also ensure the safety of the driver.

5. Easy maintenance

Consider whether the electric forklift is easy to maintain. All parts shall be easy to replace, and fault diagnosis and troubleshooting shall be quick. The control system of high-quality forklift has been modularized, which can be directly connected to the laptop computer, and the diagnostic program can be used to quickly find faults or modify parameter settings (such as driving speed).

Before purchasing electric forklift, the enterprise should not only know the price and tonnage of forklift, but also consider the specific working conditions and development planning of the enterprise, and comprehensively consider the strength, reputation, service guarantee and other factors before making a purchase decision. Electric forklift manufacturer factors. A strong supplier of electric forklift should not only provide reliable after-sales service, but also have professional knowledge to help customers complete the work of model selection and configuration selection.
