Comprehensive Guide to Application Fields and Product Specifications of Electric Forklifts

1、 Application Domain Analysis

1. In the field of warehousing and logistics

High density storage:

Forward moving forklifts and balance weight forklifts are suitable for narrow passages and high-level shelving (up to 11.5 meters) operations, significantly improving space utilization.

Typical scenarios: pallet stacking and short distance transportation in e-commerce warehouses and logistics centers.

Advantages: Electric pallet forklifts have low cost, high flexibility, and are suitable for flat handling.

Cold chain logistics:

Low temperature adaptability: Some models (such as the Xinde Times high-voltage lithium forklift) are equipped with Ningde Times liquid cooled battery packs, which support wide temperature range operation from -30 ℃ to 60 ℃, ensuring the safety of cold chain transportation such as food and medicine.

Sanitary standards: The zero emission characteristic meets the requirements of a clean environment and avoids pollution.

2. Manufacturing production line

Material turnover:

Electric balance weight forklifts weighing less than 3 tons can enter confined spaces such as cabins and containers, support frequent start stop and high-precision positioning, and improve assembly line efficiency.

Heavy component handling:

The balanced weight forklift (with a load capacity of 1-4.8 tons) is suitable for transporting raw materials, semi-finished products, and finished products in the workshop.

3. Special environmental scenarios

Explosion proof requirements location:

Some car models are designed with explosion-proof features, such as the Ruilante explosion-proof balanced weight forklift, to meet the safety requirements of industries such as chemical and textile.

Multi terrain adaptation:

Off road electric forklifts can handle mild unpaved roads and expand outdoor usage scenarios.

4. E-commerce and Retail Industry

Quick sorting:

The combination of forklift picking and automation system enables efficient order processing in e-commerce warehouses.

Store replenishment:

Low noise characteristics (<65dB) are suitable for indoor environments such as supermarkets and shopping malls.

5. Construction site assistance

Shortage of materials:

Suitable for handling lightweight building materials (such as pipes and packaging materials) on construction sites, replacing some manual labor.

2、 Product Specifications Detailed Explanation

1. Basic parameters

Parameter Range/Description

Load capacity of 0.5-4.8 tons (balance weight type can reach 4.8 tons, storage type usually 0.5-2 tons)

Lift height storage forklift: 1.1-4.5 meters; Forward moving: up to 11 meters

Driving speed at full load: 10-15km/h; No load: 12-17km/h

Turning radius balance weight type: 2150-2350mm; forward movement type: 1830mm (such as Longgong forward movement type)

Self weight: 2850-4350kg (including battery, such as the weight of a 3-ton forklift from Vigano: 4350kg)

2. Battery system

Lead acid battery:

Advantages: Large capacity (suitable for large tonnage vehicles), recyclable.

Disadvantages: Long charging time (8-10 hours), requiring regular refilling and maintenance.

Lithium battery:

Advantages: Fast charging (1-2 hours), long lifespan (3000+cycles), supports fast charging.

Application: High frequency vehicle models (such as electric handling vehicles, large forklifts).

Low temperature battery pack:

The High Voltage Lithium Battery Forklift of Xin Era adopts liquid cooling technology, supports low-temperature operation at -30 ℃, and has no degradation in range.

3. Drivers and Performance

Motor type:

AC motor: mainstream configuration, high efficiency, and low maintenance.

Permanent magnet synchronous motor: better performance than fuel forklifts, suitable for high demand scenarios such as cold storage.

Climbing ability:

Full load climbing slope of 12-15%, empty load of 15-20%.

Acceleration performance:

Accelerate in 0-3 seconds when fully loaded, faster when unloaded.

4. Size and Structure

Vehicle width: 1150-1205mm (e.g. 1205mm for a 3-ton forklift).

Wheelbase: 1500-1700mm (affecting stability and turning radius).

Tire type:

Solid tires: wear-resistant, puncture resistant, suitable for indoor use.

Inflatable tires: good shock absorption, suitable for outdoor use.

5. Special configurations

Explosion proof design:

Rui Lang Te explosion-proof forklift has passed the IIB explosion-proof certification and is suitable for explosive gas environments.

Hydraulic system:

The working pressure is 16.5Mpa, and it supports rapid lifting (full load lifting speed of 0.22-0.26m/s).

Intelligent functions:

Some models are equipped with self diagnostic controllers, color display screens, and AGV navigation systems.

3、 Comparison of typical car models

Applicable scenarios for vehicle load lifting height

Balance weight forklift 1-4.8 tons 3-6 meters outdoor operation, heavy handling

Forward moving forklift 1-2.5 tons 6-11 meters narrow aisle storage, high-level stacking

Electric pallet truck 0.5-2 tons, 0.2-0.3 meters flat handling, short distance transportation

Special forklift for cold storage, 1-3 tons, 3-6 meters, low-temperature cold chain, food and pharmaceutical transportation

4、 Selection suggestions

Load capacity and height: Select the vehicle type based on the weight of the goods and storage height (such as choosing low-temperature batteries for cold chain and forward moving for high-level storage).

Environmental adaptability: Explosion proof and dust-free workshops require specialized configurations, and outdoor operations should consider tire types and climbing capabilities.

Usage frequency: Prioritize lithium batteries in high-frequency scenarios to reduce maintenance costs.

Space limitation: Choose forward moving or three-way stacker trucks for narrow channel operations, with smaller turning radii.
