Container unloading is one of the core high-frequency operation scenarios for ports, cross-border logistics parks and large distribution centers. Traditional standard forklifts often encounter application restrictions when entering the interior of closed standard containers, such as insufficient internal operation space, easy collision with the top of the box body, and limited operation flexibility. The low-profile electric forklift design is developed to solve the pain points of this scenario, and all optimization directions are closely matched with the actual operation characteristics of container unloading.
First, the overall body height optimization design. On the premise of ensuring the rated load bearing capacity that meets the industry standard, the main frame structure of the forklift is flattened and adjusted, so that the maximum height of the whole vehicle can smoothly enter the interior of 20-foot and 40-foot standard containers, and there is enough safety clearance between the top of the vehicle and the inner top surface of the container, which avoids the risk of scratching the box structure and top stacked goods during operation.
Second, the low-profile mast optimization design. The multi-stage sliding rail structure of the gantry is adjusted with a thin and compact layout, which reduces the overall height of the gantry under the condition of the same maximum lifting height, and also further expands the front view of the operator. In the narrow space inside the container, the operator can clearly observe the position of the pallet and the goods, realize accurate alignment and access, reduce unnecessary position adjustment actions, and effectively improve the efficiency of single-box unloading operation.
Third, the compact low-profile counterweight design. High-density new counterweight materials are used to reduce the overall volume of the counterweight, which not only ensures the operation stability of the forklift under the rated load, but also effectively shortens the total length of the body, reduces the minimum turning radius of the whole vehicle, and the forklift can complete the stacking and handling actions of goods in a narrow channel inside the container, no need to drive out of the box frequently to adjust the direction.
Fourth, the sunken low-profile cockpit design. The cockpit position is properly lowered under the premise of ensuring the operating space in line with ergonomics, the highest point of the operator's sitting posture will not exceed the overall height limit of the whole vehicle, and the integrated operating handle is arranged in a reasonable position, which can reduce the fatigue of the staff working in the narrow container for a long time.
As a new energy material handling equipment, the low-profile electric forklift does not produce exhaust gas emission when working in the closed container, which can effectively improve the working environment of the operators. The energy consumption cost in the daily operation process is relatively low, and the maintenance links are simple, which is suitable for the long-term high-frequency container unloading operation demand.
