Three-point structure characteristics: analysis of the design principle of BYD CPD16S forklift

The three-pivot structure is one of the core designs of the 1.6-ton electric forklift to fit the narrow storage space. Its structure principle is optimized around the operation requirements, and it has both stability and handling.

Core Design of Three-pivot Structure

As a structural type different from the traditional four-pivot forklift, the layout of the three-pivot structure directly affects the working performance of the forklift.

The balance between steering and stability

The structure adopts the distribution design of three support points. Compared with the four-point support of four support points, the wheel group adjustment during steering is more flexible, and small radius steering can be realized in the working area with limited space such as narrow alleys and passages between shelves, reducing the occupation of working space. At the same time, the reasonable spacing design of the support points can maintain the stability of the fuselage during load operation, especially when turning or braking, which can effectively disperse the center of gravity, avoid the risk of rollover, and meet the safety needs of daily storage and handling.

1.6 ton class adaptability design

In response to the load demand of 1.6 tons, the structure has achieved a precise balance between lightweight and load-bearing capacity, optimized the mechanical form and layout of the structural parts, reduced redundant materials, controlled the weight of the whole machine, and ensured that the strength of the load-bearing area meets the operating standards, without weakening the structural performance due to load requirements.

The synergy between electrification and structure

The structure also matches the layout of the electric system, and the installation positions of the core components such as motors and batteries cooperate with the structural support points to further optimize the distribution of the fuselage's center of gravity, so that the power output and the structure can better match, improve the energy efficiency performance of the electric forklift and the reliability of long-term operation, and adapt to the continuous operation requirements of the storage scene.
