Leaving Working Margin When Selecting Electric Forklift Tonnage

Many users tend to choose electric forklifts with tonnage that exactly matches their daily maximum load when making purchase decisions, while ignoring the necessity of leaving proper working margin, which may bring hidden risks to long term operation. When electric forklifts run under full load for a long time, the core components including drive motor, power battery and hydraulic system will face accelerated wear and tear, which will shorten the overall service life of the equipment and increase the frequency of daily maintenance. The actual effective load capacity of the electric forklift will drop to a certain extent when the fork rises to a very high position, or when the equipment runs on a ramp with a certain slope, or when it carries out long distance continuous operation. Leaving 10% to 20% of the working margin can fully cover the load demand of these special working conditions, effectively avoid safety risks such as cargo slipping, equipment sideslip or fork deformation, and make the whole operation process more stable and reliable. During the actual selection process, users should not only refer to the conventional maximum weight of goods to be handled, but also combine the actual situation of their own operation scenarios to make comprehensive adjustment. If you have any questions in the process of model selection, you can contact the professional technical team of Jianshu New Energy for targeted suggestions, you can also check relevant parameters with reference to the public official selection guide of BYD Forklift, and you can send e-mail to 17399989919@163.com to obtain complete selection reference materials if you have further consultation needs. Reasonable working margin will not cause unnecessary cost waste, but can reduce the comprehensive operation cost of the equipment in the whole life cycle, avoid the operation stagnation loss caused by the equipment can not adapt to the temporary heavy load working condition, and bring more stable operation guarantee for logistics, manufacturing and other related enterprises.
