Second-hand electric forklift purchase testing points, selection inspection equipment standards

Second-hand electric forklifts have become the choice for many companies to reduce material handling costs due to their lower procurement costs, environmental protection and energy-saving characteristics. However, due to the different usage conditions of vehicles, comprehensive testing is required when purchasing to avoid hidden dangers of later failures.

Core component testing is a key link in the purchase of second-hand electric forklifts. First of all, it is necessary to focus on checking the battery. The battery is the power core of the electric forklift. It is necessary to observe whether there are bulges, liquid leakage, shell damage, etc. in the appearance of the battery. At the same time, test the actual battery life. You can check the power consumption speed by running for a short time. You can also ask the seller about the use time after charging to ensure that the battery performance meets the daily operation needs. Secondly, motor testing. After starting the forklift, listen to the sound of the motor running. If there is abnormal noise or noise, there may be internal component wear problems. At the same time, touch the motor shell to feel the temperature rise. If the temperature rise is too high after running for a period of time, you need to choose carefully. Finally, the electronic control system tests whether the acceleration, deceleration, steering, and other operations of the forklift are sensitive and smooth, and checks whether the instrument panel has a fault code prompt. The electronic control system is difficult to troubleshoot and has high maintenance costs, so special attention is required.

The performance inspection of the whole vehicle needs to cover the whole scene of the operation. Bearing capacity testing is essential. Under the rated load state, test whether the lift and descent of the forklift are smooth, and whether there is a jam or tilt during the lifting process to ensure that the vehicle can meet the weight requirements of daily cargo handling. The braking system is related to the safety of the operation. It tests the braking distance under no-load and full-load conditions respectively, and checks whether the vehicle runs off when braking. If the braking response is slow or the braking distance is too long, it is necessary to check the wear of the brake pads or hydraulic system problems. Steering system testing is to test the steering flexibility in an open field to check whether there is a jam and a sense of heaviness when steering, so as to ensure accurate handling during operation. At the same time, test the walking stability of the forklift at different speeds, and observe whether the vehicle has abnormal jitter

Compliance and detail verification cannot be ignored either. First of all, it is necessary to confirm whether the vehicle's driving license, factory certificate and other procedures are complete to avoid purchasing vehicles that have been modified illegally or have incomplete procedures. Then check the frame and structural parts to see if there are cracks and deformation marks in the frame, and whether the welding parts are firm and reliable. Damage to the structural parts may affect the overall stability of the vehicle. Finally, check the tires and forks to observe the degree of wear of the tires. If the tread pattern is too shallow or damaged, the replacement cost will be higher later; the fork needs to check whether there are bends, cracks, and whether the wear exceeds the standard range. The integrity of the fork directly affects the safety of cargo handling.

In short, the purchase of second-hand electric forklifts needs to take into account the core components, vehicle performance and compliance details. If necessary, professionals can be invited to assist in testing in order to select a cost-effective vehicle suitable for their own operational needs.
