How much width should be reserved for the channel of electric hydraulic forklift

As the name implies, electric hydraulic forklift is a warehousing and logistics equipment suitable for operation in warehouse. When building a plant or placing new shelves, it is necessary to reserve a channel with appropriate width to avoid that the electric forklift cannot turn, stack goods, pick up and place goods, which affects the working efficiency, and the adjustment is time-consuming and laborious. Then, how wide should the channel be reserved to maximize the use of the plant? Electric forklift manufacturer will give you a detailed explanation.

To calculate the reserved channel width of electric hydraulic forklift, you need to know a formula: width of right angle stacking channel=minimum turning radius of forklift+front overhang distance of forklift+length of fork/pallet of forklift+safety distance. The safety distance is generally 200mm. Forklift front overhang distance refers to the distance from the center of the front wheel to the fork forearm of the forklift.The minimum turning radius of the forklift refers to the minimum distance from the outermost side of the forklift to the turning center when the electric forklift is under no load, that is, the minimum outer turning radius. And the minimum distance from the innermost side of the forklift to the turning center, that is, the minimum inner turning radius. You don't need to measure this data in person. Electric forklift manufacturer will provide it to you. However, this data usually has a deviation of 100mm. It is recommended that enterprises add 100mm to the calculation.

In general, the front overhang, fork fork/pallet length and safety distance of electric hydraulic forklift have fixed values, which can be directly brought into the formula without the effort of enterprises. The only variable is the minimum turning radius of the forklift, which should be paid attention to by the enterprise. Enterprises should pay attention to this when purchasing electric forklifts, which can reflect the style characteristics and design details of many forklifts. In order to help enterprises save space to the greatest extent, electric forklift manufacturers often design the tail of the forklift into an arc with the turning center as the core. Electric forklift manufacturer told us that, generally speaking, the minimum turning radius of the three fulcrum balanced heavy electric forklift is smaller than that of the four fulcrum balanced heavy electric forklift.

Understanding the formula for calculating the channel width of electric hydraulic forklift can not only help enterprises to make better use of the plant, reasonably and scientifically design the channel, but also provide reference for enterprises to purchase electric forklift. If enterprises want to choose the most cost-effective electric hydraulic forklift, they should first see how much load they need, and then choose which type of forklift to use. Electric forklift manufacturer suggests that enterprises choose the one with smaller tire diameter among electric forklifts with the same load.
