The selection of electric forklifts is inseparable from the design of the storage form.The error of equipment selection often leads to low efficiency or prone to accidents in actual operation.In serious cases, it needs to be demolished and rebuilt. Therefore, in the initial design and equipment selection of the storage system, in addition to considering the applicable height and roadway space of each series of models, other factors must also be considered in combination with its own conditions.

There are many influencing factors, the following are just examples:

1.Pallet

Pallet is a base plate composed of a load surface that can carry a number of items and a forklift socket, which is used to facilitate the loading and unloading, transportation, storage and distribution of goods.The size and form of the pallet often affect the choice of the form and specification of the equipment. Operating pallets of different depths and widths requires different aisle space. More importantly, if the center of gravity of the pallet and the load exceeds the design load center of gravity of the forklift, the load capacity will decrease.

It is usually recommended to use a pallet of standard specifications. Currently, the most common is 1000*1000, 800*1200 or 1000*1200 forklift pallet, which has single-deck and double-deck.

2.Ground

The smoothness and flatness of the floor greatly affect the use of forklifts, especially when using high lift indoor forklifts.Assuming that the lifting height of the forklift is 10m, if there is a 10mm height difference between the cruise ships of the forklift, it will cause an inclination of nearly 80mm at 10m, resulting in the danger of shelf use.

There are usually three kinds of surface conditions of the floor. The zigzag undulating ground with the greatest impact should be avoided as far as possible; If the ground is wavy and there is a certain height difference outside a certain distance, it is allowed; The best ground is a flat and smooth ground, usually a surface treated concrete floor.

Factors that need to be considered in the floor also include load-bearing capacity, fork wheel pressure, etc.

3.Elevator height, container height, etc

If the electric forklift needs to enter and exit the elevator, or work inside the container, such as the CPD*A three-wheel counterbalance forklift of EFORK, the entrance height of the elevator and the container needs to be considered. Forklifts have several types of gantry to choose from, usually a gantry with a large free lift needs to be selected at this time.

4. Daily workload

The frequency of loading and unloading of electric forklifts and the daily workload of forklifts are related to the selection of forklift battery capacity or forklift quantity, so as to ensure the normal operation of daily operation.

In addition, we should also consider the peak period of warehouse operation, wheel material, construction restrictions, etc. If customers are not sure which forklift from EFORK to choose, they can directly consult customer service on the official website.
