The rated load and rotation radius analysis of manual forklifts (ground oxen) are as follows:

1、 Rated load capacity

The rated load of a manual forklift (ground ox) is its core performance indicator, which directly affects its handling capacity. According to application scenarios and design differences, the common rated load ranges are as follows:

Light manual forklift

Load range: 500kg~1.5 tons

Applicable scenarios: supermarkets, small warehouses, retail stores, etc., used for handling lightweight goods or palletized small items.

Features: Lightweight structure, flexible operation, suitable for scenarios with limited space or low handling frequency.

Medium sized manual forklift

Load range: 2 tons to 3 tons

Applicable scenarios: Medium sized warehouses, logistics centers, factory workshops, etc., used for handling standard pallets or medium weight goods.

Features: Balancing load capacity and operational flexibility, it is the mainstream model in the market.

Heavy duty manual forklift

Load range: 5 tons and above

Applicable scenarios: Large warehouses, ports, heavy industrial sites, etc., used for transporting heavy equipment or large quantities of goods.

Characteristics: The structure is sturdy, but it has a large weight and needs to be used in conjunction with professional operators.

Purchase suggestion:

Select the rated load capacity based on the maximum weight of the actual transported goods, and it is recommended to leave a safety margin of 20% to 30%.

For example, if the weight of daily cargo handling is 1.2 tons, you can choose the 1.5 ton or 2-ton model to avoid equipment damage caused by long-term overloading.

2、 Rotation radius

The rotation radius (minimum turning radius) is a key indicator for measuring the operational flexibility of manual forklifts (ground oxen), which directly affects their ability to operate in narrow spaces.

Standard manual forklift

Rotation radius range: 1.2 meters~2.56 meters

Typical values:

Lightweight model: ≤ 1.45 meters (such as models with adjustable fork width of 201~581mm).

Medium sized models: 1.5 meters to 2 meters (such as models with a wheelbase of 500mm and wheelbase adaptation).

Heavy duty models: 2 meters to 2.56 meters (such as models with a wheelbase of 1750mm and a full load climbing slope of 18%).

Applicable scenarios: Standard warehouse corridors, supermarket aisles, and other places with relatively spacious spaces.

Compact manual forklift

Rotation radius range: ≤ 1.2 meters

Features:

By optimizing the body design (such as shortening the wheelbase, reducing the wheelbase) or adopting special steering mechanisms (such as zero radius steering technology), extremely small turning radii can be achieved.

For example, the minimum turning radius of some models can be as low as 1.2 meters, and they can even operate flexibly in narrow passages with a width of 2.3 meters.

Applicable scenarios: Small warehouses, cold storage facilities, e-commerce sorting centers, and other places with limited space.
