At present, the demand for high-efficiency narrow-channel handling equipment in the warehousing industry is gradually increasing. Reach lithium-ion forklifts have become the choice for many enterprises to update or add handling equipment in batches due to their characteristics in space utilization, battery life flexibility, and maintenance convenience. However, bulk procurement involves high costs. It is recommended that enterprises do preliminary research and selection planning from multiple dimensions.
First of all, it is necessary to clarify the actual needs of its own warehousing, which is the basis for batch selection. It is necessary to carefully measure the channel width of existing or planned warehousing, especially the space reservation corresponding to the turning radius. Reach forklifts usually require a narrower channel space than counterweight models. The measurement data can be used as one of the rigid indicators for screening products. Also confirm the daily average and peak handling volume, the maximum single-piece weight and volume of goods, and the maximum pickup height of the shelf. These parameters are directly related to the rated load and lifting height of the forklift. At the same time, it is necessary to evaluate the charging conditions, including whether there is a fixed charging area, the available power capacity, and whether it can meet the power replenishment or replacement needs of continuous operation. Some companies can choose products that are suitable for fast charging or long battery life according to their own operating hours.
Secondly, we should pay attention to the core performance and compliance of the product. In terms of compliance, it is necessary to confirm whether the intended product meets the relevant national electric industrial vehicle manufacturing standards to avoid the safety and use hazards caused by the purchase of substandard products. In terms of core performance, priority should be given to the actual battery life. You can refer to the battery life data under standard working conditions provided by the manufacturer and evaluate it in combination with your own needs. Also pay attention to the stability of the motor. As a core component, the operation stability of the motor directly affects the operation efficiency and equipment life. In addition, the convenience and safety of operation are also very important, such as whether the steering is flexible, whether the field of vision is open, and whether it is equipped with necessary safety protection devices.
Finally, it is necessary to evaluate cost control and service guarantee. Bulk procurement should not only focus on the purchase price of the equipment, but also comprehensively consider the subsequent use cost and maintenance cost, such as battery life and replacement cost, frequency and cost of daily maintenance, etc. At the same time, it is necessary to evaluate the service ability of the supplier, including whether it can provide timely technical support and maintenance services, whether there are enough parts supply channels, and whether it can provide corresponding operation training. Perfect service guarantee can reduce the loss caused by equipment failure.
