Matching Forklift Width to Warehouse Doorway Widths

Many warehouse operation teams tend to overlook the matching relationship between forklift body width and warehouse doorway width in daily equipment selection, which may cause unnecessary passing stuck, door structure scratch, cargo damage and other unexpected problems in long term operation. The first step to make proper matching is to measure the actual clear width of each warehouse doorway accurately, instead of only referring to the nominal size of the door frame. You need to deduct the extra protruding space of door leaves, sealing strips and other accessories, to get the real available passing width for vehicles. It is recommended to reserve at least 10 to 15 centimeters of redundant space on both sides after the forklift with loaded goods passes through, to reduce the operation difficulty for drivers and lower the risk of accidental collision. When you calculate the total passing occupation width, you should not only refer to the nominal width of the forklift body, but also take the extra outstretched size of oversize cargo into full consideration.
