What parameters do you need to know when buying a forklift?

2023.04.17

When we buy a forklift, the forklift manufacturer will ask us about the forklift parameters we need and provide us with a forklift parameter table. Each forklift has its own parameter table. The parameters on this table are used to measure whether the forklift is suitable for our standards. Whether the forklift can meet the needs of the work and whether we can buy a suitable forklift depends on the data on the forklift's parameter table. But some friends do not understand these parameters very well, and then the forklift manufacturer will tell you the meaning of the forklift parameter table.

The first is the load, which refers to the maximum quality of the forklift that can lift and carry goods under the specified conditions of normal use. This weight is measured when the forklift gantry is in a vertical state and the load center distance is at the standard value.
The maximum lifting height is easy to understand, which is the vertical distance from the upper surface of the horizontal section of the fork to the ground when the fork is vertically lifted to the highest position.
The turning radius of a forklift refers to the maximum distance from the outside of the vehicle body to the turning center when the forklift is moving forward, backward, turning left and right, and the steering wheel is at the maximum turning angle under no-load conditions.
The right-angle aisle width refers to the minimum aisle width required for the forklift to turn at a right angle when the forks are adjusted to the maximum spacing.
The actual lifting capacity refers to the maximum mass that can actually lift and carry goods without affecting the stability when the forklift is used under specified conditions.
The height of the chassis from the ground refers to the vertical distance from the lowest point of the vehicle to the ground under the rated lifting capacity or under no-load conditions, except for the wheel brakes.

These are some important parameters of forklifts. According to the weight and size of our goods, the width between the shelves, the height of the shelves, the ground bearing capacity of the workplace, etc., we can choose the appropriate forklift according to the parameter table. If you still don't know how to choose a forklift through the parameter table, it is recommended that you consult our forklift manufacturer. We have professional sales staff to tailor the most suitable forklift for you.
