Select the structural features of off-road forklift
Release time: 2024-05-15
(1) All-wheel drive with good passability and off-road performance. There is no differential between the axles, and large-diameter wide-base off-road tires are used. The minimum ground clearance of the vehicle is more than 300mm and the departure angle is more than 30°.
(2) Articulated frame is used. The swing angle of the frame is generally ±30°~40°. The steering system is simple and does not require expensive steering drive axles. A smaller turning radius can be achieved. The steering wheel is operated to make the frame swing horizontally, making it easy for the forklift to align with the material. For small-tonnage off-road forklifts, an integral frame, single-axle drive, and drive axle with differential lock can be used.
(3) All-wheel braking. Except for small-tonnage forklifts that use a swell-type brake structure, most of them are caliper disc brakes, and large-tonnage forklifts also use wet brakes. The most common parking brake is an independent hand brake.
(4) For 2t~3t articulated off-road forklifts, the front and rear axles are universal.
(5) The rear axle of the off-road forklift is fixed to the frame, while the front axle can swing vertically by ±8°~12° relative to the frame. A supporting hydraulic cylinder is installed between the frame and the front axle. When the forklift is lifting, the lifting mast is kept in a lateral vertical state by operating the hydraulic cylinder; when the forklift is driving, the upper and lower chambers of the hydraulic cylinder are connected through the damping hole, which is conducive to improving the driving smoothness of the vehicle.
(6) It has a larger wheelbase and track. Increase the lateral and longitudinal stability of the forklift.
(7) Good maneuverability. The maximum speed is generally (30~40) km/h. The power factor is above 0.65, the driving acceleration is good, and it has a climbing ability of 25°~30°.
(8) A larger mast inclination angle. This is necessary for safe operation and driving on uneven ground. It is generally 10°~15° in front and 15° in the rear.
(9) The setting of the driver's seat. In order to ensure that the operator has a good field of vision during loading operations, the driver's seat is generally arranged forward. For articulated forklifts, it is placed on the front frame as much as possible, and a roof-guard cab with FOPS/ROPS is installed according to different operating requirements.
(10) Travel system. Similar to loaders, there are mechanical transmission (Me), hydraulic shift mechanical transmission (HyC), hydraulic transmission (T/C) and hydrostatic transmission (HYD). The difference is that the full power matching method is adopted, and its maximum load is the full load climbing condition.
