Many people drive forklifts, but do not necessarily understand their structure. Its structure consists of the following main components:
Body: the body of the forklift is usually made of steel, which is the main bearing structure of the forklift。
The vehicle normally contains two large columns, known as the “driving pole”, located in the front of the vehicle。
The top of the pole was connected to a balancing pole, with the other end connected to the fork and other handling equipment。
2 engines and drive systems: forklift engines and drive systems are power sources for forklifts。
Typically, forklifts are equipped with fuel or electric engines。
The power of the engine and the efficiency of the drive system determine the carrying capacity and speed of the forklift。
3, chassis and tyres: the chassis is the frame of the bottom of the forklift and is usually made of steel。
Four or more wheels are installed on the chassis, and the forklifts move on the ground with these wheels。
Forklifts use air tires or solid tyres。
The chassis is also equipped with forklift driving and operational controls, including a cab, steering wheel, pedal, etc。
4 fork and other handling equipment: fork is the core handling equipment of the forklift and is used primarily for handling cargo。
Normally, the fork is made of solid steel and the upper part of the fork can be moved internally or outwardly to trap the goods。
Forklifts may also be equipped with other handling equipment, such as drums, rollers, etc., as required。
5. Manipulation systems: the manoeuvring systems include controls for driving and operating forklifts, such as handles, pedals, steering wheel, etc。
The manoeuvring system controls the speed, direction and lowness of the forklift。
These are the main structures and components of the forklift. Understanding the forklift structure is important for mastering the operation and maintenance of the forklift。
