Forklift performance evaluation

In comprehensive evaluation, many companies often fail to make reasonable judgments on product quality due to their lack of knowledge of forklift expertise and technology. Generally speaking, the superior performance of high-quality forklifts is often reflected in many aspects such as high efficiency, low cost, high reliability, good ergonomic design, and convenient service.
High efficiency does not only mean high speed (driving, lifting, and lowering speed), it also means that the operator takes a short time to complete a work cycle and can maintain this efficiency throughout the working time. Many factors can promote efficiency improvement:
① The speed, such as driving speed, lifting and lowering speed, etc.;
② The application of ergonomic design to reduce the number of operating actions;
③ The accuracy of operation;
④ The application of ergonomic design to minimize fatigue;
⑤ Good vision;
When an enterprise purchases and uses a forklift, the total cost per year includes:
① Purchase cost;
② Maintenance cost;
③ Energy consumption cost;
④ Labor cost.
The purchase cost will be spread over the life of the forklift. Therefore, the purchase cost of a high-priced forklift will be reduced due to its longer life.
The actual maintenance cost is not only related to the cost of the repair parts, but also to the failure rate or failure time. Therefore, a high-quality forklift has a lower maintenance cost due to its lower failure rate.
Energy consumption costs will vary with forklifts with different power systems, such as electricity, diesel, liquefied petroleum gas or gasoline.
Labor costs vary with the number of drivers and their monthly total salary. The number of drivers will be reduced by using high-efficiency forklifts.
High safety
The safety design of the forklift should be able to fully guarantee the safety of the driver, the cargo and the forklift itself. High-quality forklifts often take into account every detail and every possibility in safety design.
Ergonomics
Ergonomics is a science widely used in product design, especially to improve the operating environment. The purpose is to maximize production efficiency by reducing driver fatigue and increasing operating comfort.
In forklift design, ergonomics is reflected in all aspects:
① Reduce the driver's fatigue during operation: The unique design can reduce the driver's operating movements and make the operation more labor-saving;
② Comfort: The humanized design can keep the driver in a good mood and reduce operating errors;
③ Good vision: Providing a good vision for the forklift operation process can not only improve efficiency, but also ensure the safety of the driver.
