The applicable plan for hydraulic forklifts needs to be planned based on their type (manual/electric) and usage scenario. Specific plans are provided from four dimensions: application scenario, working environment, operating standards, and maintenance management

1、 Plan applicable solutions according to application scenarios

Warehousing and Logistics

Manual hydraulic forklift: suitable for narrow channel operations, such as cargo handling between shelves and short distance loading and unloading. Its flexibility and low cost characteristics can improve warehouse space utilization and reduce labor costs.

Electric forklift: suitable for large-scale, high-intensity operations, such as long-distance handling and stacking operations. It has strong power output and high efficiency, suitable for large warehouses or continuous operation scenarios.

manufacturing

Manual hydraulic forklift: used for transferring raw materials, semi-finished products, and finished products between production lines, especially suitable for workshop environments with limited space.

Electric forklift: suitable for heavy material handling, such as body transportation in automobile manufacturing, which can reduce manual fatigue and improve production speed.

Supermarket Retail

Manual hydraulic forklift: used for restocking goods from the backend warehouse to the shelves. Its simple operation and low noise meet indoor environmental requirements, while reducing cargo loss (such as handling fragile items).

logistics distribution

Manual hydraulic forklift: suitable for loading and unloading operations of trucks and refrigerated trucks, especially in narrow compartments, its flexibility can shorten loading and unloading time.

special industries

Explosion proof manual hydraulic forklift: suitable for flammable and explosive places (such as chemical warehouses and sulfur warehouses), it can reduce safety risks due to the absence of sparks and electromagnetic fields.

Low temperature manual hydraulic forklift: suitable for cold chain logistics or cold regions, its anti freezing design ensures the normal operation of the hydraulic system.

2、 Optimize the plan according to the homework environment

narrow space

Priority should be given to manual hydraulic forklifts, whose steering wheel design allows for flexible steering and reduces the need for channel width.

When planning the work channel, ensure that the width is greater than the width of the forklift plus the width of the cargo to avoid collision risks.

Low noise environment

Choose manual hydraulic or electric forklifts to avoid noise pollution from internal combustion forklifts and meet the requirements of hospitals, libraries, and other places.

Fire and explosion prevention places

Explosion proof manual hydraulic forklifts must be used and equipped with flame arresters, explosion-proof electrical appliances, and other devices. At the same time, the sealing of the hydraulic system should be regularly checked to prevent oil leakage from causing fires.

low-temperature environment

Select low-temperature hydraulic oil (such as L-HV type) and preheat the hydraulic system (run without load for 5-10 minutes) before operation to avoid excessive viscosity of the oil causing slow movement.

3、 Operating standards and safety plans

Load management

Strictly adhere to the rated load capacity and prohibit overloading or overloading. For example, the load capacity of manual hydraulic forklifts is usually 2-5 tons, and overloading may cause frame deformation or hydraulic system failure.

The center of gravity of the goods should be placed in the center, and the length of the fork should cover the bottom of the pallet to prevent tipping during transportation.

speed control

The driving speed should not exceed 3 kilometers per hour (adult walking speed is 5 kilometers per hour), and when turning, slow down to below 1.5 kilometers per hour to avoid sudden braking or sharp turns that may cause cargo to fall off.

Slope operation

Do not load or unload goods or turn on slopes. If it is necessary to drive on a slope, the forklift should be kept low and directed by a dedicated person to prevent the forklift from losing control.

personnel security

Maintain clear visibility during operation and prohibit placing any part of the body under the fork or near mechanical lifting components.

When loading loose goods, personnel should be arranged to support or secure them with straps to prevent them from slipping.

4、 Maintenance and upkeep plan

routine inspection

Hydraulic system: Check the oil level and quality, investigate oil leakage, and ensure that the hydraulic cylinder operates smoothly without jamming.

Wheel: Clean up tangled foreign objects, check for wear, and regularly lubricate the wheel axle to reduce wear.

Safety device: Test whether the brake, horn, lights, etc. are normal to ensure timely shutdown in emergency situations.

regular maintenance

Every 200 hours: Clean the hydraulic oil radiator, replace the hydraulic oil filter element, and check the quality of the oil (if it turns black or emulsified, it needs to be replaced immediately).

Every 500 hours: Change brake fluid (using DOT3 or DOT4 standard fluid), check brake pad thickness, and adjust handbrake cable if necessary.

Every 1000 hours: Replace the hydraulic oil completely (it is recommended to use L-HM 46 anti-wear hydraulic oil) and drain the air in the oil circuit.

Long term suspension management

When the forklift is not in use, it should be unloaded and lowered to the lowest position, and stored in a designated dry and ventilated location to avoid moisture damage to the hydraulic system or component deformation.
