The 3 ton electric forklift is a type of forklift used for the transportation, loading and unloading of goods. Therefore, the device on the electric forklift responsible for taking, placing, lifting, lowering and carrying goods is very critical. In order to more clearly identify whether a 3 ton electric forklift is powerful when purchasing, and more quickly understand the location and cause of the failure during maintenance, it is meaningful to know the composition of the working device of the electric forklift. Now, the electric forklift manufacturer will make a scientific introduction to the working devices of the 3 ton electric forklift.

The working device of the 3 ton electric forklift is mainly composed of fork, fork frame, mast, lifting mechanism, mast tilt mechanism and rollers. Forks are very familiar to everyone. Each electric forklift has two forks, and the distance between the forks can be adjusted. The fork is mainly responsible for carrying goods. The general body is forged from metal. Fork rack is used to install fork or other replaceable accessories, which can drive fork to rise and fall vertically. The fork carrier consists of a frame and a roller carrier. The shelf is composed of steel plates welded. It is divided into a hook type fork and a sleeve type fork. As the name implies, the mast is the skeleton of the forklift lifting structure. It is used to support the lifting hydraulic cylinder and bear the force of goods to the fork. The electric forklift manufacturer told us that the basic type of the gantry of the electric forklift is a two-stage gantry, which is mainly composed of an inner gantry and an outer gantry.
The lifting structure of the 3 ton electric forklift is composed of a lifting hydraulic cylinder, a lifting chain, a guide pulley and a guide pulley frame. It is responsible for transmitting the movement of the piston in the lifting hydraulic cylinder to the fork frame so that the goods can be lifted and lowered. The mast tilting mechanism is composed of one or two tilting hydraulic cylinders, and the piston of the hydraulic cylinder is hinged with the outer mast. Its main function is to make the fork tilt forward and backward, and to ensure the stability of the goods. Generally, the mast can be tilted forward by 3 °~6 ° and backward by 10 °~12 °. The last part is the roller. The roller is well understood as the part responsible for guiding and transmitting force between the fork frame and the mast or between the mast and the mast of a 3 ton electric forklift. The electric forklift manufacturer told us that it is divided into three types: longitudinal roller, transverse roller and composite roller.

The above is the composition of the working device of the 3 ton electric forklift and their brief introduction. Many people may feel that it is useless to know these things, but in fact, it is not. Understanding these will enable you to better understand electric forklifts and purchase forklifts suitable for enterprises. For forklift drivers, understanding these will also help them to take the forklift certificate test and improve their business level. If you have any questions about the working device of the electric forklift, you can consult the electric forklift manufacturer.
