Do you know the advantages and disadvantages of electric forklifts?

There are many types of electric forklifts, including four-wheel forklifts, three-wheel forklifts, and small electric forklifts. The electric stacker has outriggers and no outriggers:
Advantages of outrigger electric forklift:
1. It can increase the stability of the economical body of the electric forklift. In technical terms, the wheelbase of the front and rear wheels of the electric forklift is increased, which makes the economical electric forklift safer and more stable when moving forward and backward.
2. It can effectively reduce the weight of the forklift; because if the economical electric forklift adopts a legless design, then the electric forklift must use the principle of leverage. If it needs to reach the carrying capacity of 1.5 tons of rated cargo, then the electric stacker is integrated The weight of the car also needs to be at least 1.5T or more to lift the corresponding goods; but the fork-leg design can make up for the shortcomings caused by the lever principle of the electric stacker, and the fulcrum is ingeniously extended forward through the form of supporting legs The greater the distance, then the economical load capacity of the all-electric stacker and the weight of the body itself can easily exceed the ratio of 1:1; for example, for goods with a load of 1.5 tons, the body of the electric forklift does not need to be bulky to 1.5 tons. Maybe the body weight of the electric stacker is half of its body weight, which is 750kg, which is sufficient for this; even the body of the electric stacker can lift 1.5 tons of cargo with more than 300 kg. It can be seen that the economical design of the fork-leg all-electric stacker has greatly improved the traditional lever principle.
3. The economical fork-leg electric forklift can effectively shorten the size of the forklift, making the all-electric stacker forklift compact and powerful! Because the economical electric forklift adopts support legs, the pivot point is moved forward, and the rear only needs to follow some equipment necessary for electric forklifts, without adding additional counterweights, so the length of the forklift body Can be effectively reduced.

Disadvantages of fork-leg electric forklifts:
1. The economical use of fork-leg electric forklifts has many restrictions: it is not suitable for high-gradient environments. Generally speaking, the climbing degree cannot exceed 7°, otherwise there is a danger of the chassis being stranded. The economical fork-leg electric forklift is not suitable for shelves and stacking places where the bottom cannot be accessed.
2. Economical fork-leg electric forklifts have higher requirements for the pallets used together: pallets can be roughly divided into single-sided and double-sided types; single-sided pallets mean that the upper panel is used for loading goods, and the support column below the panel Or supporting the stalls, and then down to the ground, single-sided pallets can also be called single-layer pallets. Double-sided pallets are also called double-layer pallets. On the basis of single-sided pallets, there is a panel under the support column, and then the panel is on the ground. In other words, the double-sided pallet has two layers of panels, and it can be used in many cases. Yes; but the single-sided tray can only be used with the panel facing up. The fork-leg all-electric stacker can only be used with single-sided pallets.
3. There are certain requirements for the height of the pallet. Generally speaking, when the fork-leg type all-electric forklift truck is placed at the lowest point (that is, the fork is directly placed on the support leg), the lowest height is generally 85mm or 90mm; then the clearance height of the pallet used together must exceed the minimum height of the electric stacker fork before it can be used.
Compared with fork-leg type electric forklifts, legless counterbalanced electric forklifts also have many advantages and disadvantages:
The advantages of the legless counterbalanced electric forklift: wide range of application, a certain degree of climbing degree compared to the economical fork-leg electric forklift, the lowest point of the fork can reach 50mm or even lower, and single and double pallets can be easily used. It can be easily adapted to any stacking requirement.
Disadvantages of electric forklifts without leg counterweights: the use of counterweights makes the electric forklifts bulky, long and inconvenient to use in narrow spaces, not very convenient to use, weight and size inconvenient to enter elevators and other places, and more expensive.
