Off-road forklifts, with their powerful engine output, all-wheel drive system, and off-road tires, demonstrate outstanding off-road performance, capable of traveling freely on hills, mountains, tidal flats, sand, snow, ice, and muddy roads.
The stability indicators of off-road forklifts are shown in the table. With strong economic strength, robust research and development capabilities, and advanced production, processing, and testing equipment, our company focuses on the operation of four-wheel drive forklifts, off-road forklifts, loader-modified forklifts, 3-5 ton forklifts, electric forklifts, internal combustion forklifts, and small forklifts. It is a backbone enterprise in the field of construction machinery. We possess various processing equipment and have established final assembly lines, painting lines, and a test site, laying a solid foundation for manufacturing high-quality products. The company has passed various system certifications, adopts scientific management methods, and continuously advances refined production. Our products are reasonably priced, reliable in quality, and supported by a comprehensive service system. They are distributed throughout the country and are deeply trusted and praised by a wide range of users.
Design features of off-road forklifts:
Attractive appearance, compact structure, small turning radius, and light and flexible operation, allowing work in confined spaces. Full hydraulic power steering, with the steering wheel and seat adjustable in angle and fore-aft position, maximally satisfying the driver's individual needs.
The tires have complex tread patterns, suitable for field and muddy road operations, solving the problem of being unable to carry out outdoor work normally in rain and snow.
Wide-view mast design provides the driver with a broad field of vision, making it highly suitable for cargo loading and unloading, stacking, and short-distance transportation operations in the field.
Various control levers are optimally designed according to ergonomic requirements, reducing labor intensity and improving work efficiency.
The working device of the off-road forklift can meet the operational needs of various attachments, such as forks, lifting arms, drum clamps, buckets, etc., and can be leveled in different ways. The body has a wide track and long wheelbase for good stability; small ground clearance and large approach and departure angles provide superior off-road passability.
Some parameters of off-road forklifts:
Travel speed: Increasing travel speed has a significant impact on improving forklift operational efficiency. For an internal combustion forklift with a rated capacity of 1 ton, its travel speed at full load is no less than 17 m/min.
Minimum turning radius: When a forklift travels unloaded at low speed and turns with the steering wheel fully locked, the minimum distances from the outer side and inner side of the vehicle body to the turning center are respectively called the minimum outer turning radius Rmin outer and the minimum inner turning radius rmin inner. The smaller the minimum outer turning radius, the smaller the ground area required for the forklift to turn, and the better the maneuverability.
Minimum ground clearance: Minimum ground clearance refers to the distance from fixed points on the vehicle body, excluding the wheels, to the ground, indicating the forklift's ability to pass over raised obstacles on the ground without collision. The larger the minimum ground clearance, the higher the forklift's passability.
Wheelbase and track: Forklift wheelbase refers to the horizontal distance between the centerlines of the front and rear axles. Track refers to the distance between the centers of the left and right wheels on the same axle. Increasing the wheelbase improves the longitudinal stability of the forklift but increases body length and minimum turning radius. Increasing the track improves the lateral stability of the forklift but increases overall body width and minimum turning radius.
Minimum width of right-angle aisle: The minimum width of a right-angle aisle refers to the minimum width of an aisle intersecting at right angles for forklifts to travel back and forth. The smaller the minimum width of the right-angle aisle, the better the forklift performance.
The speed of off-road forklifts is superior to that of ordinary forklifts, demonstrating their excellent maneuverability. At the same time, off-road forklifts adopt all-wheel drive and off-road tires, enabling them to travel freely on mountains, tidal flats, sand, snow, and muddy roads, further highlighting their outstanding off-road performance.
