On the Suitability of BYD High Door Forklift for High Shelf Operation in Medical Storage

Special requirements for high-shelf operations in pharmaceutical warehousing

Pharmaceutical warehousing is the core node of the drug circulation link to ensure the safety of goods. High-density and high-shelf layouts are generally used to enhance storage capacity. The operation requirements of such scenarios are obviously different from those of ordinary warehousing. On the one hand, drugs and medical apparatus goods have extremely high requirements for handling stability. Bumps and falls may cause the failure of goods or even cause safety risks. The operation process needs to meet the requirements of relevant business quality management standards. On the other hand, high-shelf areas generally have floor heights of 6 to 12 meters, and the channel width is relatively narrow. There are higher requirements for the operating height and traffic flexibility of handling equipment.

High gantry forklift adapts to the core dimension of high shelves in pharmaceutical warehousing

Basic performance adaptation

First of all, to meet the requirements of lifting height and load stability, it is necessary to match the maximum floor height of the storage shelf. When the full load is raised to the maximum height, the shaking amplitude of the gantry needs to be controlled in a reasonable range to avoid colliding with the shelf or goods when picking and unloading goods at high levels. At the same time, it is necessary to refer to the load attenuation parameters of high-level operations to ensure that the rated load can cover the weight range of daily single-tray medical goods. Secondly, it is necessary to adapt to the needs of narrow-channel operations. Models with compact body size and small turning radius can reduce the requirements for channel width and further improve the utilization rate of cargo space in high-shelf areas.

scene function adaptation

Pharmaceutical warehousing requires high cleanliness of the operating environment. The electric-driven high-gantry forklift has no exhaust emissions and less dust during operation, which is more in line with the environmental requirements of such scenarios. At the same time, the model needs to support a variety of attachments, which can be adjusted according to the shape of different goods such as boxed medicines, cold chain turnover boxes, medical apparatus, etc. The functions of fine-tuning the angle of the gantry and slow jog can also improve the accuracy of high-level operations and reduce the probability of cargo damage.

Precautions for selection and adaptation

Before selecting a high-gantry forklift, a pharmaceutical warehousing enterprise needs to complete the parameter mapping of its own operating scenarios, including the maximum shelf height, channel width, weight of conventional single-load goods, and daily average operating frequency. It can verify the actual operation performance of the vehicle through small-scale scene testing, while taking into account the convenience of follow-up maintenance, ensuring long-term stable operation of the vehicle, and adapting to the operation management requirements of pharmaceutical warehousing.
