What is the driving mode of an electric forklift?

The driving modes of electric forklift can be divided into central motor drive and electric wheel drive. The central drive type requires only one motor, and the electric wheel drive requires two or four motors. Today, the electric forklift manufacturer will take you to a detailed understanding of the driving methods of electric forklifts.

First of all, let's talk about the requirements and characteristics of the central arrangement of the drive motors of electric forklift. The central arrangement of the drive motor is to arrange the motor at an engine position similar to that of an internal combustion engine vehicle or to arrange the motor on the drive shaft to form an integral drive unit. For vehicles with poor driving conditions, in order to prevent tire slippage caused by uneven speed of the driving wheels on both sides, a differential is required between the wheels on both sides. Moreover, due to the use of a single motor to generate driving force in this arrangement, when the same power requirements are met, the motor has a larger power, volume, and weight, which brings some inconvenience to the arrangement. The storage battery machinery has a large moment of inertia and inertia resistance moment when starting, making the starting current of the motor large. The central arrangement of the drive motor is characterized by simple control, mature traditional transmission technology, high reliability, but low transmission efficiency. Electric forklift manufacturer tells everyone that the central arrangement of the drive motor is still a widely used arrangement for electric handling machinery.

Then let's talk about the requirements and characteristics of the arrangement of electric wheels for electric forklift. The arrangement of electric wheels is to arrange the motor on the driving wheel, and make the motor, reducer, etc. into a power unit. Each battery machine requires two or more power units depending on the number of driving wheels. The arrangement of the electric wheel drive can achieve unequal speed operation of the electric wheel through the control of the motor, and cancel the differential of the drive shaft. Its characteristics are that it requires two or more electric motors, the control of which is complex, and the load on the vehicle suspension is large. Electric forklift manufacturer tells everyone that this method has a wide range of applications in renting heavy electric forklift due to its flexible and convenient layout.

The above is the relevant knowledge about the driving device of electric forklift. These knowledge are very complex, but understanding them will lead to a deeper understanding of electric forklifts, making them more proficient in driving, repairing, and maintaining electric forklifts. Electric forklift manufacturer recommends that forklift operators broaden their knowledge and learn more and deeper forklift knowledge.
