There are many kinds of forklifts with different functions. It is necessary to select the type of forklift suitable for use in different working places. What kinds of forklifts are there? What kind of forklift is used in what working place? Guangzhou Hualong forklift parts Co., Ltd. will tell you.
1. Vehicle type classification
Forklifts can generally be divided into internal combustion, electric, and storage forklifts.
(1) Internal combustion forklift
Internal combustion forklift is divided into ordinary internal combustion forklift, heavy forklift, container forklift, and side forklift.
① Ordinary internal combustion forklift
Generally, diesel, gasoline, liquefied petroleum gas, or natural gas engines are used as power, with a load capacity.
1.2 ~ 8.0t, and the width of the operation channel is generally 3.5 ~ 5.0m. Considering the problems of exhaust emission and noise, it is usually used outdoors, in workshops, or other places without special requirements for exhaust emission and noise. because
It is convenient to replenish fuel to realize long-time continuous operation and is competent to work in harsh environments (such as rainy days).
② Heavy forklift
The diesel engine is used as the power, and the bearing capacity is high.
10.0 ~ 52.0 tons, generally used for outdoor operation in harbor, steel, and other industries with heavy goods.
③ Container forklift
The diesel engine is used as the power, and the bearing capacity is high.
8.0 ~ 45.0 tons, generally divided into empty container stacker, heavy Container Stacker, and container front crane, used for container handlings, such as container yard or port terminal operation.
④ Side forklift
The diesel engine is used as the power, and the bearing capacity is high.
3.0 ~ 6.0 tons. Without turning, it can fork goods directly from the side, so it is mainly used to fork long goods, such as wood bars, steel bars, etc.
(2) Electric forklift
Take the motor as the power and the battery as the energy. carrying capacity
1.0 ~ 4.8 tons and the width of the operation channel is generally 3.5 ~ 5.0m. Due to no pollution and low noise, it is widely used in working conditions with high environmental requirements, such as medicine, food, and other industries. Since each battery generally needs to be charged after working for about 8 hours, standby batteries need to be equipped for multi-shift working conditions.
(3) Storage forklift
Storage forklift is mainly a forklift designed for cargo handling in the warehouse. Except that the workforce drives a few storage forklifts (such as manual pallet forklifts), others are driven by the motor. They are widely used in the storage industry because of their compact body, flexible movement, lightweight, and good environmental protection performance. The storage forklift driven by a motor needs to have a backup battery during multi-shift operation.
① Electric pallet handling forklift
carrying capacity
1.6 ~ 3.0T, the width of the operation channel is generally 2.3 ~ 2.8m, and the lifting height of the fork is generally about 210mm, which is mainly used for horizontal handling and cargo loading and unloading in the warehouse. Generally, there are two operation modes: walking type and station driving type, which can be selected according to the efficiency requirements.
② Electric pallet stacking forklift
The bearing capacity is
1.0 ~ 1.6 tons. The width of the operation channel is generally 2.3 ~ 2.8 meters. In structure, it has more gantry than the electric pallet handling forklift. The lifting height of the fork is generally within 4.8 meters. It is mainly used for goods stacking, loading, and unloading in the warehouse.
③ Forward moving forklift
carrying capacity
1.0 ~ 2.5t. The gantry can move forward or retract as a whole. When retracting, the width of the operation channel is generally 2.7 ~ 3.2m, and the lifting height can be up to about 11m. It is commonly used for stacking and picking up at medium and equal heights in the warehouse.
④ Electric picking forklift
Under some working conditions (such as the distribution center of the supermarket), it is not necessary to ship the whole pallet but to select a variety of goods according to the order to form a pallet. This link is called picking. According to the height of picking goods, electric picking forklift can be divided into low-level picking forklift (within 2.5m) and medium and high-level picking forklift (up to 10m).
The bearing capacity is 2.0 ~ 2.5t (low level) and 1.0 ~ 1.2t (medium and high level, with cab lifting).
⑤ Low driving three-way stacking forklift
Usually equipped with a three-way stacking head, the forklift does not need to turn, and the goods can be stacked and picked up on both sides by rotating the fork. The channel width is 1.5 ~ 2.0m, and the lifting height can reach 12m. The cab of the forklift truck can not be lifted on the ground all the time. Considering the limitation of the operation field of vision, it is mainly used for working conditions where the lifting height is less than 6m.
⑥ High driving three-way stacking forklift
Like the low driving three-way stacking forklift, the high driving three-way stacking forklift is also equipped with a three-way stacking head with broad channel width.
1.5 ~ 2.0m and the lifting height can reach 14.5m. The cab can be lifted. The driver can observe the goods at any height and carry out a picking operation. The efficiency of high driving three-way stacking forklift
And various performances are better than low driving three-way stacking forklifts, so this model has gradually replaced low driving three-way stacking forklifts.
⑦ Electric tractor
The tractor is driven by an electric motor and uses its traction capacity (3.0 ~ 25 tons) to pull several carts loaded with goods at the back. It is often used to transport many goods, such as transportation from the warehouse to the assembly line in the automobile manufacturing industry and baggage transportation in the airport.
