Detailed explanation of lifting height and load parameters of BYD high gantry electric forklift

High gantry electric forklifts are commonly used operating equipment in high-level warehousing and freight yard loading and unloading scenarios. Lifting height and load are the core reference parameters for user selection and daily operations. The corresponding relationship between the two directly affects operation safety and equipment service life.

Parameter setting logic for lifting height

The lifting height range of conventional high-gantry electric forklifts covers 3 meters to 12 meters, and different heights correspond to different gantry structure designs. Operations within 6 meters are mostly suitable for two gantries, which are relatively simple in structure and have a small shaking amplitude during operation; high-level operations above 6 meters generally use three gantries, which are highly extended through the internal pulley block structure. The steel strength of the gantry and the fastness of the connecting parts will be strengthened accordingly to ensure the stability of high-position operations.

When selecting the lifting height, a safety margin of 50 to 100 cm should be reserved according to the maximum height of the actual operation to avoid the goods touching the top of the shelf during handling. For flat-floor warehouse loading and unloading operations, a lifting height of 3 to 4.5 meters can be selected to meet the demand, and for high-rise three-dimensional shelf storage, a lifting height of more than 6 meters is required.

Association rules for load parameters

The rated load of an electric forklift refers to the maximum allowable load-bearing capacity of the equipment at a standard lifting height of 3 meters. This value has been verified by multiple rounds of load testing. It is strictly forbidden to exceed this value during operation to avoid problems such as rollover and structural damage.

When the lifting height exceeds the standard value of 3 meters, the allowable load of the forklift will gradually decrease with the height. For example, when the lifting height reaches 9 meters, the allowable load is usually only 60% to 70% of the rated load. The specific attenuation ratio is directly related to the door frame structure and counterweight design. Before operation, check the corresponding parameter description in advance, and cannot directly load the goods according to the rated load.

Practical advice for parameter matching

Before purchasing, users should first clarify the maximum shelf height for daily operations, the average weight of goods for single handling, and extrapolate the required rated load in combination with the load attenuation rule to avoid the problem of height compliance but insufficient load, and there is no need to blindly pursue high parameters resulting in cost waste.

Before daily operation, check the integrity of the door frame and fork. When operating at different heights, load according to the corresponding allowable load. Overweight operation will not only accelerate the loss of door frames, tires and other components, but also bring safety hazards such as rollover and falling goods. Reasonable matching of parameters can not only improve operation efficiency, but also effectively extend the service life of equipment.
