The technical parameters of the forklift are used to indicate the structural characteristics and working performance of the forklift. The main technical parameters are: rated lifting capacity, load center distance, maximum lifting height, gantry inclination, maximum driving speed, minimum turning radius, minimum ground clearance, wheel base, wheel base, etc.
1. Rated lifting capacity: The rated lifting capacity of a forklift refers to the maximum weight of the cargo that is allowed to be lifted when the distance from the center of gravity of the cargo to the front wall of the fork is not greater than the load center distance, expressed in T (tons). When the center of gravity of the goods on the fork exceeds the specified load center distance, due to the limitation of the longitudinal stability of the forklift, the lifting capacity should be reduced accordingly.
2. Load center distance: Load center distance refers to the horizontal distance T from the center of gravity to the front wall of the vertical section of the fork when standard goods are placed on the fork, expressed in mm (mm). For 1T to 4T forklifts, the specified load center distance is 500mm.
3. Maximum lifting height: The maximum lifting height refers to the vertical distance between the upper surface of the horizontal section of the fork and the horizontal ground where the forklift is located when the forklift is fully loaded and the goods are raised to the highest position on a flat and solid ground.
4. Mast inclination: Mast inclination refers to the maximum inclination of the unloaded forklift on a flat and solid ground, the mast is forward or backward relative to its vertical position. The function of the forward inclination is to facilitate fork picking and unloading of goods; the function of the rear inclination is to prevent the goods from slipping from the fork when the forklift is running with goods. Generally, the forward inclination angle of forklift is 3°~6°, and the backward inclination angle is 10°~12°.
5. Maximum lifting speed: The maximum lifting speed of a forklift usually refers to the maximum lifting speed of the goods when the forklift is fully loaded, expressed in m/min (meter/minute). Increasing the maximum lifting speed can improve the operating efficiency, but if the lifting speed is too fast, cargo damage and machine damage accidents are prone to occur. The maximum lifting speed of domestic forklifts has been increased by 20m/min.
6. Maximum driving speed: Increasing the driving speed has a great influence on improving the operating efficiency of the forklift. For an internal combustion forklift with a lifting capacity of 1T, the minimum driving speed when fully loaded is not less than 17m/min.
7. Minimum turning radius: When the forklift is running at low speed with no load and turning with the steering wheel fully turned, the minimum distance from the outermost and innermost sides of the car body to the turning center is called the minimum outer turning radius Rmin and the minimum inner turning radius rmin respectively. . The smaller the minimum outer turning radius, the smaller the ground area required for the forklift to turn, and the better the maneuverability.
8. Minimum ground clearance: The minimum ground clearance refers to the distance from the lowest fixed point on the vehicle body to the ground other than the wheels, which indicates the ability of the forklift to cross the raised obstacles on the ground without collision. The larger the minimum ground clearance, the higher the passability of the forklift.
9. Wheelbase and wheelbase: The wheelbase of a forklift refers to the horizontal distance between the centerlines of the front and rear axles of the forklift. The wheel base refers to the distance between the centers of the left and right wheels on the same axle. Increasing the wheelbase is beneficial to the longitudinal stability of the forklift, but increases the length of the vehicle body and increases the minimum turning radius. Increasing the wheel base is beneficial to the lateral stability of the forklift, but it will increase the overall width of the vehicle body and the minimum turning radius.
10. The minimum width of the right-angle channel: the minimum width of the right-angle channel refers to the minimum width of the channels intersecting at right angles for forklifts to travel back and forth. expressed in mm. Generally, the smaller the minimum width of the right-angle channel, the better the performance.
11. The minimum width of the stacking channel: the minimum width of the stacking channel is the minimum width of the channel when the forklift is in normal operation.
