How to choose three-point and four-point forklifts? BYD LECB18S selection suggestions

Understand the core differences between the two types of forklifts

Three-point forklift applicable scenarios

This type of forklift has flexible steering, strong channel adaptability, and is mostly suitable for warehousing, distribution centers, and other narrow-space operation scenarios. It has a moderate load capacity and is more suitable for lightweight, high-density cargo handling. It has certain requirements for ground flatness and is highly efficient in small spaces.

Applicable scenarios for four-point forklifts

The stability is stronger, the load capacity is higher, and it is suitable for operation scenarios where the space is relatively spacious and heavy cargo needs to be carried. It can also be adapted to outdoor operations or slightly rough ground conditions, and the overall load-bearing performance is better than that of three-point forklifts of the same tonnage.

Evaluate workspace and access

If the operating channel width is smaller than the conventional operating requirements, a three-point forklift is preferred, and its smaller turning radius can improve the operating efficiency in a narrow space; if the channel is wide and the single-trip load demand is large, a four-point forklift can be selected to ensure the stability of heavy-duty operations.

Consider load and ground conditions

If it is necessary to handle heavier goods or uneven ground, the four-point support structure of the four-point forklift can provide better anti-rollover performance and adapt to more working environments; if it focuses on small space operations and the ground is flat, the steering advantage of the three-point forklift can better meet the demand.

The selection of models should be based on the core requirements of their own operating scenarios, and comprehensive judgments should be made from the dimensions of space, load, and ground to avoid blindly selecting models that do not match.
