Hydraulic forklift truck purchase standards

    Before buying a forklift truck, we should first understand the operation environment of the forklift truck. If the enterprise needs to transport the goods or the warehouse environment has a request for environmental protection such as noise and exhaust emissions, we should think about the choice of the model and configuration of the forklift truck. If it refers to cold storage or explosion-proof requirements, the configuration of forklift should also be cold storage type or explosion-proof type. Carefully check the location of the forklift operation, the size of the goods, and so on. For example, the impact of the door height on the forklift in and out of the warehouse, the door height of the elevator in and out, the restriction of the weight on the forklift, the upstairs operation, the forklift bearing capacity can exceed the building bearing specification, the turning radius at the sharp turn can reach the turning radius of the forklift.

    In the selection and sure configuration, the demand to the forklift supplier detailed description of the working condition, and field investigation, to ensure that the purchase of forklift complete meet the needs of the enterprise. There are also the following aspects of the situation to consider:

    1. Need to understand pallet and cargo size, weight, shape, fixture and so on in forklift operation, and also need to understand cargo lifting height, speed, operation channel width, climbing slope,

    2. If forklift trucks operate in the warehouse, the channel width required by different models is different, and the lifting ability is different, which will bring about changes in warehouse planning, changes in cargo storage and so on.

    3. Different models have different market holdings, and their after-sales guarantee ability is also different. For example, today, the field of view of the positiondriven stacker is not as wide as that of the high driving stacker, because the cab cannot be lifted, so the operation field of view is poor and the work efficiency is low, and the latter can completely cover the function of the former. In China, the latter sells many times as much as the former. When the market sales volume is very small, the number of after-sales service engineers, engineer experience, parts inventory level and other service talents will be relatively weak.

    Performance evaluation specification

    The performance of forklift trucks can be evaluated from the following aspects:

    1. Operation efficiency

    Operational efficiency means the speed of the whole working process, means that the operator needs a short time to complete a work cycle, and to maintain this efficiency throughout the working time. A number of factors can improve productivity:

    ①Application of man-machine engineering design, reduce the number of operation actions;

    ②up and down the speed, such as driving speed, lifting and landing speed;

    ③ The accuracy of operation;

    ④Application of ergonomic design, reduce fatigue;

    ⑤Good vision

    2、Cost budget

    In the purchase and use of forklift trucks, the total annual cost of the enterprise includes:

    ①procurement cost;

    ②Maintenance cost;

    ③Energy consumption cost;

    ④manual cost;

    The purchase cost will be amortized over the life of the forklift. Therefore, the high price forklift will reduce the purchase cost because of its longer life.

    The maintenance cost of practice is not only related to the cost of maintenance parts, but also related to the rate or time of failure. Therefore, a high quality forklift, because of its lower fault rate, its maintenance cost is also lower.

    The energy cost will vary with the forklift with different power systems, such as electric, diesel, LPG or gasoline.

Labor costs vary with the number of drivers and their monthly total wages, and the number of drivers will be reduced by the use of high-efficiency forklifts.

    3. Maintain lunchboxes

    Consider whether forklifts can be easily maintained. All the parts should be replaced easily, and the fault diagnosis and cleaning should be fast. High-quality FORKLIFT TRUCKS HAVE MODULAR CONTROL SYSTEMS THAT CAN BE DIRECTLY CONNECTED TO a LAPTOP COMPUTER, AND DIAGNOSTIC PROGRAMS CAN BE USED TO QUICKLY FIND PROBLEMS OR CORRECT PARAMETER Settings (such as speed).

    Before purchasing forklifts, in addition to understanding the price and tonnage of forklifts, enterprises should also separate the detailed working conditions and carry out planning, and make purchasing decisions after considering the strength, reputation, service guarantee and other factors of forklift manufacturers. In addition to providing reliable after-sales service, the sales staff of a powerful forklift supplier should have professional knowledge to assist customers to complete the work at the stage of model and configuration selection.
