# How to Choose a Good Rough Terrain Forklift

With the development and progress of society, rough terrain forklifts are playing an increasingly important role in the construction market and have gradually become the main force in material handling equipment. Currently, there are many forklift brands and models on the market, and forklift technology is highly specialized, so the choice of model and brand has become a common challenge faced by many enterprises in asset procurement. Next, the editor will provide you with a detailed introduction to forklift purchasing tips. Internal combustion rough terrain forklift — T40A internal combustion rough terrain forklift 1. Types of forklifts For indoor operations, battery-powered forklifts are generally chosen, as they can reduce pollution and noise; for outdoor operations, internal combustion forklifts are preferable. If there are no special requirements, diesel forklifts are usually chosen. As national restrictions on air pollution become stricter and environmental protection requirements increase, more and more users are choosing liquefied petroleum gas forklifts for outdoor operations, and this will become a development trend. 2. Transmission mode of forklifts The most commonly chosen by domestic users are mechanical transmission forklifts and hydraulic transmission forklifts. If the work is not continuous and the daily working time is relatively short, a mechanical transmission forklift can meet the needs; if the work is continuous and frequent, in order to improve work efficiency, it is generally better to choose a hydraulic transmission forklift. 3. Selection of forklift lifting weight and lifting height When users choose the tonnage of a forklift, they need to compare the center of gravity of the loaded goods with the forklift's standard load center. If the center of gravity of the goods is equal to or smaller than the forklift's standard load center distance, the rated lifting weight of the selected forklift only needs to be equal to or slightly greater than the weight of the goods. If the center of gravity of the goods is greater than the forklift's standard load center distance, then the tonnage of the forklift to be purchased must be determined based on the forklift load curve chart provided in the forklift catalog.
