Forklift accessories purchase guide
1、 Use significance of genus
Compared with the traditional use of forklift to take the cargo pallet for handling and stacking, the application of special accessories can greatly improve the use efficiency of forklift and reduce the operation cost. The special forklift accessories can realize the functions of clamping, rotating (clockwise / counterclockwise), side moving, pushing / pulling, turning (forward / backward), separating / closing (adjusting fork spacing), telescopic and other functions of goods, which can not be completed by ordinary forklift forks. The significance of the application of special accessories for forklift can be summarized as follows:
1. High production efficiency and low operation cost.
Mechanized handling is shorter than traditional manual handling, reduces labor expenditure and cost, and improves work efficiency. In the same handling cycle, the number of actions of the forklift is significantly reduced, the corresponding tire / transmission gear / fuel consumption of the forklift is also reduced, and the operation cost is also reduced accordingly.
2. The operation is safe and reliable, reducing the accident rate.
Accessories designed and produced by professional forklift accessories manufacturers for different industrial conditions are designed with safety devices. In case of abnormal conditions, the goods clamped (or forked) are not easy to slip, such as the pressure retaining device of clamp accessories (when carrying goods, the oil pipe bursts, the hydraulic system maintains the pressure, and the goods will not slip); The end buffer device of lateral moving accessories reduces the accident rate.
3. Small loss of goods.
With the unique clamping / sideshift / rotation functions, goods can be transported, stacked or loaded and unloaded more safely, so as to minimize the loss of goods. The use of accessories also reduces the use frequency of pallets (such as pallet free handling), and the corresponding procurement and maintenance costs are also reduced.
3、 Product classification of forklift accessories
According to different structures and uses of accessories, we can simply classify forklift accessories as follows:

5、 Basic concepts related to genus
After the accessories are installed with the forklift, the original design state of the forklift has actually been changed. Therefore, what will happen to the bearing capacity of the forklift in the actual operation process? Will it further affect the operation and use of forklifts? Before analyzing the situation, it is necessary for us to understand the following concepts, which are the factors most closely related to the actual bearing capacity of forklift; It is also indispensable for calculating and judging the comprehensive bearing capacity of forklift.
1. Load
The load of accessories refers to the maximum weight that accessories can safely carry under a certain load center.
2. Load center distance
Load center distance refers to the distance from the front surface of the accessory frame to the center of gravity of the cargo.
3. Load loss distance
The distance from the front surface of the fork frame to the front surface of the accessory frame (i.e. the thickness of the accessory).
6、 Forklift / accessories (combination) bearing capacity
Bearing capacity is an important aspect to be considered in the selection of forklifts and accessories. The combined (comprehensive) bearing capacity of forklifts / accessories, that is, the maximum bearing weight of goods, will be reduced for the following two reasons:
1) The moment generated by the self weight of the accessories offsets part of the bearing moment of the forklift.
2) Because the thickness of the frame structure is greater than that of the fork, the load center of the forked goods (the distance from the center of the goods to the front end face of the forklift fork frame) moves forward in actual operation, which also offsets part of the bearing torque of the forklift.
Before fitting accessories (according to the principle of force distance balance):
M forklift = m rated load = g rated load x (c + x)
After installing accessories:
M rated load = m goods + m accessories
Where: m goods = g goods x (X-S + COG)
M genus = g genus x (x – S + V + L / 2)
Maximum weight of cargo g = (M rated load – m accessories) / (X-S + COG)
7、 Factors to be considered when selecting accessories
Facing the working environment, operation mode and different forklifts used or to be purchased by enterprise customers in different fields, how can we choose a forklift accessory suitable for the working environment of our own enterprise? Usually, the customer must provide the actual working conditions and requirements of accessories to the forklift main engine factory or its sales agent or accessories company. According to these important information, the forklift main engine factory or its sales agent or accessory company can carry out the selection of accessories.
The following are the factors to be considered when selecting accessories:
1) What kind of goods are handled by customers, such as paper bags, paper bags, etc.
2) Cargo weight: (including pallet) kg, length (along the driving direction) mm, width / diameter mm, height mm.
3) Outer surface / contact surface (outer packaging).
4) Transportation mode: A. pallet transportation: the size of cargo pallet is mm, and the height of pallet jack is mm. B. non pallet transportation: the distance between cargo stacks is mm, and the number of goods
5) Specific handling information / actual environment:
How will the customer handle these goods: push / clamp / rotate (horizontal in the driving direction) / roll (horizontal in the driving direction) / lateral movement / roll (along the driving direction) / loading at the rear of the vehicle / loading at the side of the vehicle.
6) Current customer status information: how has the customer solved the handling problem so far? How do they want to improve? What do they think?
7) What are the limitations in practical application: height, length, width, weight and others.
8) Application fields of accessories: smelters, construction sites, warehouses, special occasions, etc.
9) Environmental factors: explosive area, dust, high temperature, low temperature, acidity, sugar, salt, food, nutrition, beverage, etc.
10) About forklift: forklift model, gantry type, type of selected accessories and action function. The number of additional oil circuits of forklift shall be determined according to the type and function of accessories:
a. A set of accessories with action functions. The forklift needs to provide a single attached refueling path (such as the left and right lateral movement of the Sideshifter);
b. For the accessories with two groups of action functions, the forklift needs to provide double attached refueling paths (such as the tensioning arm / clamping / rotation of the paper roll clamp);
c. For the accessories with three groups of action functions, the forklift shall be provided with double attached refueling circuits and equipped with a solenoid valve device (such as the rotating side
Opening / clamping, side shifting and rotation of movable soft bag clamp).
11) Existing forklifts or new cars? (whether there are problems in the transformation of forklift, such as adding additional oil circuit, etc.)
12) Installation cost of accessories (labor cost, modification time of hydraulic system (if necessary), cost of corresponding options, etc.)
