As a heavy equipment, diesel forklifts are widely used in warehousing, logistics and industrial fields. Their main task is to carry and stack heavy objects. The load capacity and lifting height of diesel forklifts are their core performance parameters, which directly affect their applicability and work efficiency in various working environments.
The load capacity of diesel forklifts is one of the important indicators to measure their performance. Generally speaking, diesel forklifts have a wide load range, usually ranging from a few tons to more than ten tons. The specific load capacity depends on the model and design of the forklift. Small diesel forklifts usually have a load capacity of 3 to 5 tons, which is suitable for small and medium-sized warehouses or light industrial handling. Large diesel forklifts can reach a load capacity of more than 10 tons or even higher, and are often used for heavy cargo handling, such as large equipment, building materials, etc.
The load capacity is not only related to the power system and design structure of the forklift, but also closely related to its hydraulic system, body stability and coordination of the operating system. A powerful hydraulic system can ensure that the forklift can still maintain stable operation when carrying heavy objects, avoiding safety hazards due to excessive loads. Therefore, when choosing a diesel forklift, it is crucial to correctly evaluate the required load capacity. Too high or too low load capacity will affect work efficiency and the service life of the equipment.
Lifting height is another important factor that affects the work efficiency of diesel forklifts. Lifting height refers to the maximum height that the forklift fork arm can lift, which determines whether the forklift can effectively operate on shelves at different heights. In general, the lifting height of diesel forklifts is usually between 3 meters and 6 meters, and some high-lift forklifts can even reach a lifting height of 8 meters or more. This allows diesel forklifts to adapt to stacking and retrieval tasks at different heights in warehouses, cargo yards and other environments.
The higher the lifting height, the better. As the lifting height increases, the stability and safety of the forklift may be affected to a certain extent. In order to ensure the stability of the operation, high-lift forklifts usually require a stronger chassis and a more efficient hydraulic system, and special attention should be paid to balance and load distribution during operation. In addition, the lifting speed of the forklift will also change with the increase of the lifting height. Higher lifting heights require longer lifting time, which may affect work efficiency, especially in high-frequency handling tasks.
The lifting height is also related to the design type of the forklift. Ordinary diesel forklifts are usually suitable for low to medium height handling tasks, while high-rise forklifts and special forklifts can cope with higher lifting needs and are suitable for high-rise shelves or stacking operations. These forklifts are usually equipped with more precise hydraulic control systems to maintain stability and safety when lifting taller goods.
