Below we will detail a few types of forklift trucks along with their main applications as follows:

Forklift Trucks

Forklift trucks are the most common type of forklift and also the type of forklift most people think of when they need a forklift.

Forklifts have forks that protrude from the front of the body, and there are no protruding legs or handlebars on this unit, which means the forklift can move to the exact location of the object. loading statue or goods shelf. This means that the forklift has no access to the requirements of a particular work environment, it can simply lift, load, unload, and move goods under certain conditions. determined.

Forklift engines are typically available with electric, gas, or diesel engines.

As the name suggests, balanced forklifts (balance forklifts) operate a balanced weight design, with the weight at the rear of the forklift, setting up the load lifter at the front. Electric forklifts can operate with a smaller load because the main source of power to operate it is the battery.

Balanced forklift – 3 wheels

The 3-wheel balancer works on the same premise as other balancers however they include a single wheel in the center center of the rear of the body to ensure maximum maneuverability. .

The 3-wheel balance forklift is the perfect choice for use in applications where space is limited due to its tight turning circle and excellent maneuverability. It is also the ideal choice for applications that require use inside, outside and in warehouse stacking. The combination of the bottom balancer and tight mobility ensures maximum work productivity.

Reach Trucks

Forklifts are designed primarily for warehouse operations. Reach Truck provides maximum lifting height (up to 10 meters can be lifted) with excellent maneuverability.

Just as the name (Reach Trucks) refers to this vehicle’s ability to “reach” beyond the stabilizer feet and thus it can “reach” into high shelves with ease. . This combination of accessibility and stable footing enables Reach Trucks to reach great heights (over 10 meters) while operating in very narrow work environments.

The footrest and battery pack stably in the narrow body of the vehicle, so there is no need for a balanced weight in the forklift structure.

Some reach trucks manufacturers design the seat with a tilting mechanism to give the driver a more comfortable and comprehensive viewing position. For better visibility, reach trucks can be equipped with a camera on the approach point fork that transmits signals and viewing angles to the LCD screen in the cabin for navigation. These systems can be wired or wireless, however in our experience wired systems are more reliable as they are not susceptible to interference from outside sources such as broadband wifi networks.

While reach trucks are a great choice for indoor and warehouse use, they are not ideal for working outdoors such as loading docks and ports. The low ground clearance can cause problems on uneven work surfaces and its electrical systems can be prone to trouble if frequently working in environments subject to work surface vibration. undulating.

Manual pallet truck

Manual pallet trucks are non-motorized tools designed to move pallets of goods.

Manual pallet trucks are simple to operate with the operator sliding the forks into the pallet, ‘pumping’ the handle to lift the fork off the ground, and moving the load through the handle.

The front wheels are mounted inside the splints, and when the hydraulic knob is raised, the forks are separated lengthwise from the front wheels, forcing the load upwards until it clears the floor. . The pallet is only raised enough to clear the floor for the next trip.

Forklift 1.5 tons, tons, 2.5 tons, 3 tons
Forklift 1.5 tons, tons, 2.5 tons, 3 tons – Which one is suitable for your needs? Forklifts are widely used in various fields such as factories, warehouses, ports… for transporting and stacking goods. However, choosing a forklift with the right lifting capacity is not a simple task. Choosing a too small forklift will cause overload, danger and inefficiency. On the other hand, choosing a too large forklift will result in cost waste and space inefficiency. So in the segments of forklifts 1.5 tons, 2 tons, 2.5 tons and 3 tons, which one should you choose to best suit the actual conditions of your business? Factors determining the appropriate lifting capacity: Type and size of goods being transported The first important factor to consider is the type of goods and their weight, size. If most of the goods are in the range of 1-1.5 tons, forklifts with capacities of 1.5-2 tons will be suitable. If you frequently transport heavy materials as steel, wood… then you should choose a forklift from 2.5 tons onwards. In addition, the size of the goods affects the choice of forklift because each type of forklift has different lifting heights and dimensions. Operating environment of the forklift The operating environment is also an important factor to consider when choosing a forklift. In closed warehouses or workshops, lightweight forklifts like 1.5-2 tons can be used to move around easily. On the other hand, if operating outdoors, heavy-duty forklifts like 2.5-3 tons should be chosen to meet load-bearing requirements and operate on rough terrain. For narrow operating spaces, it is best to avoid large cumbersome forklifts. Load capacity and distribution capability of the forklift Each type of forklift has different load limits according to its design. Some types are designed to carry loads evenly across their floors while others are only suitable for concentrated loads. Therefore, you need to understand the load capacity of the forklift and consider how the actual will be distributed. Furthermore, it is necessary to consider production scale and future business expansion plans. If there are plans to expand in scale in the future, it is better to choose a higher load capacity forklift to meet future needs and avoid investing in new equipment. Comparing different segments of forklifts based on lifting capacity: 1.5-ton Forklift Advantages: Low cost, flexible movement in narrow spaces. Disadvantages: Only suitable for transporting light goods under 1 ton. Recommendation: Choose this type if operating space is limited and mainly transporting goods under 1 ton weight. 2-ton Forklift Advantages: Versatile; can transport various types of goods from light to heavy within a load range of 1-2 tons. Disadvantages: Higher cost than a 1.5-ton model; not suitable for loads over 2 tons. Recommendation: A popular choice among small and medium-sized warehouses and manufacturing facilities; suitable for various heavy goods weighing between 1-2 tons such as paper rolls, fabrics, food items… 2.5-ton Forklift Advantages: Superior load capacity compared to lower models; can lift heavy loads. Disadvantages: Requires larger operating space. Recommendation: Ideal choice for large-scale warehouses or manufacturing facilities requiring transportation of heavy goods such as crates or construction materials weighing between 2 – 2.5 tons; especially suitable near coastal areas or ports due to its strong load-bearing capabilities. 3-ton Forklift Advantages: High load capacity; efficient transportation of heavy items. Disadvantages: High cost; difficult maneuverability in small spaces. Based on an analysis of factors influencing choice and comparing advantages/disadvantages among different segments mentioned above: If mainly transporting light goods under 1 ton weight in limited operating spaces – opt for a 1.5-ton model but consider future business expansion plans before making a decision. For shops or small-medium manufacturing facilities needing transportation within a range from light (under) up-to medium-heavy (around) two tonnes – go with a two-ton model which offers cost savings while meeting requirements effectively. For large factories or warehouses frequently moving heavy items like steel beams or cement bags weighing between two-three tonnes – choose a two-and-a-half ton model ensuring productivity & safety standards are met efficiently. In cases where handling super-heavy materials over two-and-a-half tonnes becomes necessary – invest in three-ton models after careful consideration due to their higher load-bearing capabilities. Additionally recommended selecting models with slightly higher loading capacities (10-20%) than anticipated maximum loads prevent overloading ensuring safety measures are maintained properly while considering financial capabilities when making investment decisions possibly opting rental services if regular usage isn’t required saving costs effectively. Moreover once selecting an appropriate model ensure following correct operational procedures maintenance schedules recommended by manufacturers prolonging equipment lifespan significantly catering special transportation needs considering specialized models optimizing operations efficiently.
