3.5 ton lithium battery forklift weight and turning radius, warehouse layout planning reference

Reference to the weight parameters of the 3.5-ton lithium-ion forklift. The weight of the 3.5-ton lithium-ion forklift is affected by factors such as battery capacity, gantry height, and the selection of attachments. Usually, the conventional standard configuration models, without special attachments, weigh between 4.5 tons and 6 tons. Among them, the battery capacity is the most influential variable. For example, with a lithium iron phosphate battery pack with a smaller capacity, the total weight of the vehicle may be close to the lower limit of 4.5 tons, while with a longer battery pack with a large capacity, the weight will increase accordingly, and the maximum may reach the upper limit of about 6 tons. The height of the gantry will also have a certain impact. The three-stage fully free gantry is more complex in structure and weighs hundreds of kilograms more than the two-stage standard gantry. The addition of attachments such as side shifters and clamps will also increase the weight, but the increase is generally lower than the change in battery capacity or gantry structure.

The turning radius parameter of 3.5 tons lithium battery forklift. The turning radius is the core indicator to measure the flexibility of electric forklift in narrow space. The minimum turning radius of 3.5 tons lithium battery forklift is usually between 2000 mm and 2500 mm for conventional standard configuration models. The minimum turning radius here generally refers to the track circle radius formed by the center of the outer wheel of the vehicle when turning. The track circle radius of the inner wheel will be smaller, about two-thirds of the outer side. The main factors affecting the turning radius are the wheelbase and front wheel corner of the vehicle. The longer the wheelbase, the larger the turning radius is usually. The larger the front wheel corner, the smaller the turning radius. The wheelbase and corner designs of different brands vary slightly, but the overall design will remain within this reasonable range to meet the needs of conventional storage scenarios.

Warehouse layout planning reference combined with core parameters. When planning a warehouse, it is first necessary to reserve sufficient cargo channel width. For straight-line cargo channels, the width is generally slightly wider than the sum of the length of the cargo pallet plus the safety distance reserved on both sides. The safety distance on both sides is usually 100 mm to 200 mm to ensure safe driving. For the steering channel, that is, the channel where the forklift needs to complete the steering action, the minimum turning radius is very critical at this time. Theoretically, the channel width needs to be slightly larger than twice the minimum turning radius on the outside of the vehicle plus the maximum width of the cargo pallet, or the minimum turning radius on the outside plus the minimum turning radius on the inside plus the maximum width of the cargo pallet. The results obtained by the two calculation methods are similar. In actual planning, it is recommended to increase the safety margin of 100mm to 300mm on this basis to avoid collisions caused by operation errors. The shelf spacing also needs to be designed in combination with the turning requirements of the forklift and the stacking height. In addition to meeting the steering requirements of the cargo channel, the change of the center of gravity after the door frame is lifted, as well as the operator's line of sight needs, should also be considered.
