How to choose a reach and counterweight high gantry forklift? Introduction to the differences between BYD models

When purchasing electric forklifts, many users with high gantry operation requirements are often torn between forward-moving and counterbalanced models. Combined with the characteristics of the mainstream BYD electric forklifts on the market, we can clarify the purchase ideas from multiple dimensions.

The core difference between the two types of high gantry forklifts

Application scenario difference

The door frame of the forward-moving high-mast forklift truck can be moved back and forth, the body size is relatively compact, and the turning radius is small. It is more suitable for operation in narrow storage lanes and high-rise shelf storage areas, and is mainly used for stacking and pickup scenarios in indoor storage. The tail of the counterweight high-mast forklift truck is equipped with a balance counterweight block, which does not require leg support during operation, and the adaptation scene is wider. In addition to indoor storage, it can also be operated in outdoor venues where the ground flatness is up to standard, which can take into account the dual needs of short-distance transfer and stacking.

performance parameter difference

Under the same load, the maximum lifting height of the forward-moving high-gantry forklift is usually higher, the overall stability during operation is more biased towards the high-load stacking scene, the weight is relatively lighter, and the energy consumption is lower. The load-bearing redundancy of the balanced high-gantry forklift is higher, and it is more adaptable to the operation of partial load and irregular goods, and its adaptability to the road surface is also better than that of the forward-moving model.

Features of forward-moving high gantry models

BYD's forward-moving high-gantry forklifts have been specifically optimized for warehousing scenarios. They are equipped with multi-gear lifting speed adjustment functions as standard, and the jitter control performance during gantry operation is good. With an intelligent power management system, they can meet the needs of long-term continuous warehousing operations. The body has flexible steering and is suitable for high-rise shelf lanes with narrow widths.

Characteristics of counterweight high gantry models

BYD's counterweight high-gantry forklift truck has a reasonable counterweight design and good stability under high lifting conditions. It supports a variety of attachments and can be adapted to various loading and unloading needs such as pallets, cage cars, and irregular goods. It has a higher level of dustproof and waterproof, and can also be used normally in outdoor operating environments with mild dust and a small amount of water accumulation.

Core reference elements when purchasing

When purchasing, users should first clarify the core operation scenario. If it is mainly indoor high-rise shelf stacking, and the roadway width in the operation area is limited, a forward-moving high-mast forklift is preferred. If you need to take into account indoor and outdoor operations, you often need to transfer different types of goods, and the counterweight high-mast forklift is more suitable. In addition, it is necessary to comprehensively judge the maximum lifting height, average load, charging conditions and other factors of daily operations, and choose a model that matches your own operation needs.
