1. Match Load Capacity with electric forklift Rated Parameters
The first core factor to confirm when selecting a forklift tray is the load bearing limit, which should be matched with the rated lifting weight of your electric forklift. Do not choose trays with load capacity lower than the actual cargo weight you often transport, otherwise it will easily lead to tray deformation, cargo falling off, or even affect the normal operation of the electric forklift. You need to calculate the maximum total weight of single cargo including packaging, and reserve 10% to 15% of the load margin to meet the demand of different operation scenarios.
2. Confirm Dimensional Compatibility with Fork Teeth
You need to measure the standard fork tooth spacing of your electric forklift before purchasing trays, and choose the tray size that fits the fork entering distance perfectly. Unsuitable size will lead to the situation that the fork cannot be inserted smoothly, or the tray edge will be scratched by the fork during operation, which will shorten the service life of the tray and increase the risk of cargo damage. For common standard electric forklift models, you can choose the general size tray that conforms to industrial common specifications, to ensure good compatibility.
3. Select Appropriate Tray Material for Actual Usage Scenarios
Different usage scenarios have different requirements for tray materials. For conventional dry warehouse storage scenarios, you can choose cost-effective material trays that meet daily use demands. For low temperature cold storage, or humid environment with frequent water contact, you need to choose trays with good low temperature resistance and moisture resistance, to avoid material performance degradation after long-term use. For scenarios with high requirement of food hygiene, you can choose easy-to-clean trays that meet relevant sanitary standards.
4. Prioritize Durability for Long-term Stable Operation
For scenarios with high frequency of forklift operation every day, it is recommended to select trays with good impact resistance and wear resistance. This kind of tray can withstand frequent fork impact, and can maintain stable performance after thousands of times of loading and unloading operations, reducing the frequency of tray replacement and lowering the long-term comprehensive operation cost of the warehouse.
5. Take Safety Compliance as Core Evaluation Standard
All selected forklift trays should meet the industrial safety operation standards, no structural defect, no crack or obvious damage on the surface.
