1. Selection of forklift type
How do indoor and outdoor users choose forklifts? For indoor operation (including warehouse, workshop, etc.), in order to reduce air pollution and noise, battery forklift is generally preferred; For outdoor operation, especially when the site road is not very flat, it is better to choose internal combustion forklift. Among the three internal combustion forklifts, diesel forklifts are widely used. If there are no special requirements, diesel forklifts are generally used. Considering the characteristics of low temperature and difficult engine start in winter, a small number of users in the North choose gasoline forklift to facilitate engine start. However, with the use of direct injection diesel engine on forklift, the problem of difficult engine start in winter is solved. Therefore, the sales volume of gasoline forklift in domestic forklift market will be less and less. With the development of environmental protection, the use of liquefied petroleum gas as a kind of forklift is becoming more and more demanding.
2. Selection of transmission mode
Among the three transmission modes of internal combustion forklift, at present, mechanical transmission forklift and hydraulic transmission forklift are the most selected by domestic users. Due to high price, high requirements for use and maintenance, difficult troubleshooting and high maintenance cost, general users do not choose static transmission forklift. Usually, when the work is discontinuous and the daily working time is not long (within 5H), the mechanical drive forklift can meet the use requirements. For continuous work, frequent work, heavy load and 2-shift and 3-shift operation, in order to improve work efficiency and reduce the labor intensity of forklift drivers, hydraulic drive forklift is generally better. With the improvement of the reliability of hydraulic forklift, the number of users who choose hydraulic forklift will increase due to its advantages of stepless speed change, labor-saving and convenient operation and high efficiency.
3. Selection of forklift power
At present, in order to meet the different needs of users, some major domestic forklift enterprises are equipped with a variety of domestic and imported engines for users to choose. These engines are not only different from domestic and imported engines, but also different engine power. For general users, forklifts equipped with domestic engines can be selected, which are relatively cheap and convenient for maintenance service. For users with heavy work and long working hours, imported engines can be selected to reduce the failure rate and improve its reliability. For users with particularly heavy working conditions and harsh working environment, it is recommended to choose high-power imported engine.
4. Selection of battery forklift
How do users choose forklifts (battery forklifts)? The battery forklift is mainly used for indoor operation. Generally, the balance weight battery forklift is selected, including three fulcrum and four fulcrum. For users with narrow access, stacking and forking goods above the shelf or needing to enter the elevator to work on the floor, they can choose the forward moving battery forklift or battery pallet stacker.
5. Selection of lifting quality and lifting height of forklift
The rated lifting mass of each forklift refers to the mass of goods that can be lifted when the center of gravity of the goods is within the center distance of the standard load of the forklift, the forklift gantry is vertical, and the forklift is lifted to the standard lifting height of the forklift (China's standard lifting height is 3000mm). Therefore, when selecting the forklift tonnage, users should compare the center of gravity of the loaded and unloaded goods with the standard load center of the forklift. If the center of gravity of the goods is equal to or less than the center distance of the standard load of the forklift, the rated lifting mass of the selected forklift is equal to or about greater than the mass of the goods. If the center of gravity of the goods is greater than the center distance of the standard load of the forklift, the tonnage of the forklift shall be determined according to the forklift load curve provided by the forklift sample.
