Shelf equipped with a forklift Selection Considerations

       Different storage modes need to configure different electric forklifts, pattern matching realized in last-out or FIFO, space utilization, operational efficiency and investment costs will have a big difference. As a large distribution center, targeting mainly for goods entering and leaving the service, how to configure the truck to achieve the purpose and function is crucial. We conducted a general framework for procurement from the following aspects:

       A, truck tonnage of configuration. There are: 1.5T, 1.8T, 2T, 2.5T, 3T; choose the kind of purchasing configuration need to see the weight, and the maximum fork height position. Because as the height of lift truck safety the highest weight decreased. For example, 5-meter-high 2T forklift battery can fork when low job 2T, but close to the fork height of 5 meters, then it may be safe weight 800KG, or the most 1000KG. It exceeds this weight can be dangerous due to overload occur. This is still important to know and understand.

      B, the truck driver. There are battery forklift, but also diesel forklift; as it involves indoor and outdoor jobs, it is taking into account the proportion of both configurations. In contrast, much less than diesel forklift battery forklift efforts. But Forklift environmental protection, low noise, small turning radius jobs, jobs and low cost. Diesel forklifts have power, speed, and high efficiency.

      C, forklift lifting height. Taking into account the Treasury job requires elevated, combined warehouse height, 3.5 m, 4.5 m, 5.5 m, 6 m must give due consideration to the forklift lifting height from the standard configuration; normally consider several separate mix according to high and low job job to reduce overall procurement costs.

      D, Height in the truck. Taking into account the truck to enter the interior of the container operations of the forklift mast height is considered, within the container requires clear height 2.3 m or less, and requires at least two mast; but the truck lifting height mast height will produce conflict, lift rise too high, whether it is three or two mast mast, its mast height of 2.4 m in the way, so the two can not have both;

      E, taking into account the accuracy and flexibility of truck operations, we need to configure lateral device;

      F, the number of truck tire problem. Taking into account the forklift operating channel width can not be procured at the cost of the case reach truck, but also consider is to choose three or four, the turning radius of three much smaller;

     G, elastic forklift subsequent use configuration issues. Taking into account the possible subsequent Treasury cylindrical, large bale such goods need jobs, that is, to increase the hold with attachments, etc., but also consider whether to reserve the truck factory when the hydraulic line;

     H, forklift tires. To consider the pneumatic tire and solid tire problems. Forklift standard configuration are generally pneumatic tires, but tire easily, and impatience wear, increased maintenance costs, under the premise of a budget permits, consider using solid tire forklift;

     I, diesel truck engine problems, to consider the engine is imported or domestically produced engine, which is a core part of the truck's performance, but there is also a number of brands to choose, need to be carefully analyzed to compare;

    J, ongoing maintenance costs. Telehandlers also consider selecting DC or AC motors, AC which also distinguish what part of the whole communication and exchange, because this involves a follow-up maintenance costs;

    K, as well as, battery forklift battery should also be considered imported or domestically produced, is maintenance-free or traditional lead-acid batteries;

    L, as well as a diesel truck exhaust pipe should also be considered, or blown to the ground to the sky blow;
 
    M, of course, but also consider the truck brand, service, price and the like;

    N, there is every vendor will highlight some of the innovative design of some of the technical things like security details of their products, but as long as things are basically in front of the set, these are based on procurement costs take into account.
