Warehouse layout is one of the core factors that determine the overall operation efficiency of indoor material handling links. Many enterprises often only pay attention to parameters such as load capacity and purchase cost when choosing electric forklifts, and ignore the matching degree between vehicle performance and actual warehouse space, which will lead to problems such as unsmooth operation passages, reduced handling efficiency, and even potential safety risks in daily work.
First of all, the reserved aisle width in the warehouse directly determines the applicable type of electric forklift. For warehouses with wide passages above 3.5 meters, the ordinary counterweight electric forklift can operate flexibly, and can complete the operation of loading, unloading, stacking and short-distance handling smoothly. For warehouses with narrow passages below 2.8 meters to maximize the storage area, the three-way stacking electric forklift or reach forklift with compact body and small turning radius is more suitable, which will not squeeze the remaining operation space of the passage.

Secondly, the maximum lifting height of the shelf set in the warehouse is also an important reference for forklift selection. For low-level flat warehouses or shelves with a lifting height of less than 4 meters, the ordinary pallet handling electric forklift can meet the daily operation needs. For warehouses with high shelves above 6 meters to improve the unit storage density, it is necessary to select the electric forklift with stable gantry structure and anti-tilting protection function, to ensure the safety and stability of goods at high positions.
In addition, the setting of warehouse operation routes, such as frequent crossing of door openings, elevator passages and turning nodes, also needs to match the corresponding electric forklift model with flexible steering and appropriate body size, to avoid the situation that the vehicle cannot pass smoothly in the fixed scene.
