How to Pick the Right Tonnage for Heavy Material Handling

When dealing with heavy material handling tasks in factories, warehouses, ports and large distribution centers, selecting a forklift with proper tonnage is the core step to ensure operation safety and improve overall work efficiency. First, you need to sort out the maximum weight of the common heavy loads to be handled in daily operation, instead of only referring to the maximum load in rare extreme scenarios, which can avoid unnecessary cost waste caused by excessive tonnage reserve. Second, you need to confirm the maximum lifting height required in actual operation, as the effective load that a forklift can carry will drop correspondingly when the lifting height exceeds the standard rated height, so you need to reserve a certain safety redundancy for the tonnage selection according to the actual lifting demand. Third, you need to check the load-bearing capacity of the working passage, storage shelf and operation site ground, to make sure the selected forklift with corresponding tonnage will not cause damage to the site facilities or bring hidden safety risks. Fourth, you can also take the long-term possible load growth in the next 3 to 5 years into consideration, to avoid frequent equipment replacement caused by later business expansion.
