Nowadays, in order to improve the efficiency of handling turnover, many small and medium-sized warehouses will purchase electric forklifts as the core storage equipment. Many operators are easily attracted by various novel functions when purchasing, and they can purchase redundant configurations that do not meet their own operational needs, which increases unnecessary costs. Only by choosing the right practical functions can they balance cost performance and operational efficiency.
Basic job adaptation function
The adjustable load gear function is the preferred practical configuration for small and medium-sized warehouses. Most small and medium-sized warehouses have a large weight span, from dozens of kilograms of loose parts to hundreds of kilograms of whole boxes of goods. The adjustable load gear can adjust the power output according to the weight of the handling goods, which can not only ensure sufficient power when handling heavy goods, but also reduce energy consumption when handling light goods, and avoid the risk of collision caused by excess power.
The narrow channel adaptation function is highly practical for small and medium-sized warehouses with limited area. Many small and medium-sized warehouses have a passage width of less than 3 meters. If you choose a configuration with a small turning radius and a fork side shift function, you can adjust the fork alignment without repeatedly adjusting the body position. This can greatly improve the efficiency of stacking and picking up goods, reduce the reserved space of the channel, and improve the actual storage area utilization rate of the warehouse.
Safety protection practical functions
The fork height limit function can reduce the risk of operation accidents, the personal flow of small and medium-sized warehouses is relatively high, and many newly hired warehouse managers are not skilled in forklift operation. After setting the height limit, the maximum rising height of the fork can be defined according to the height of the warehouse and the height of the shelf. To avoid the fork rising too high and colliding with the top or upper shelf of the warehouse, it can also prevent the safety problems caused by the falling of the goods.
The overload warning function is also very necessary. Many small and medium-sized warehouses do not have a weighing process in advance. When handling goods, they can only rely on the staff to estimate the weight. Operating under overload will not only wear out the core components of the forklift, but also risk rollover. Forklifts with overload warning function will automatically issue a reminder when the load exceeds the upper limit to avoid illegal operations.
Operation and maintenance of this class of practical functions
Electricity visual warning function can avoid operation interruption, many small and medium-sized warehouses do not have special Facility Management personnel, forklift power often appear halfway out of service, clear remaining power display and low power early warning function, can remind staff to charge in time, to avoid delaying the progress of the operation.
The quick dismantling design of wearing parts can reduce the cost of operation and maintenance. Most small and medium-sized warehouses are not equipped with dedicated maintenance personnel. If professional personnel are required to replace some common wearing parts, additional maintenance costs will be added. With a forklift with a quick dismantling design, ordinary staff can complete the replacement and basic maintenance of wearing parts, reducing the waiting time and cost of operation and maintenance.
Small and medium-sized warehouses do not need to pursue too many novel features when purchasing electric forklifts. By choosing a suitable practical configuration based on their own warehouse area, product type, and operation process, they can effectively improve the efficiency of warehousing operations while controlling procurement costs.
