A counterbalanced truck is ideal to use when handling heavier loads. The truck counterbalances the weight of the load on the forks with a weight in the rear end of the truck, which increases the stability and driver safety. Our range of electric CBs are available with different battery capacities and lift capacity up to 8 t. Since the trucks are battery driven they’re suitable for both indoor and outdoor usage.
Want to increase safety in your warehouse? Your new counterbalanced forklift can be equipped with our Operator Assist System SEnS+ (Smart Environment Sensor), for optimising material handling safety whilst minimising the risk of incidents and damage costs.
How it works:
Toyota SAS is fitted as standard on the entire Toyota Traigo family. SAS actively contributes to workplace safety by protecting your operators, your goods and trucks while reducing operational cost.
Here we have gathered frequent questions and answers about electric counterbalanced trucks to help you find your next electric truck.
Абсолютно, електрокарите могат да работят както на закрито, така и на открито. За работа на открито ви е необходим издръжлив и стабилен мотокар, който може да работи при различни условия:
Четириколесните електрически мотокари със затворена кабина предлагат стабилност и защита при работа в мокри условия.
Електрокарите могат да бъдат захранвани с:
Литиево-йонните батерии могат да се зареждат, когато имате време, например по време на почивка. Оловно-киселинните батерии, от друга страна, имат ограничен брой цикли на зареждане и трябва да се зареждат, когато нивото им е на 20%.
Виличният изравнител е често срещан прикачен аксесоар за мотокари, който позволява премествање на вилиците наляво или надясно, така че операторите да могат да правят малки корекции на вилиците без да маневрират с мотокара. Сайдшифтът влияе на товароносимостта и ширината на коридорите.
Надстърчане на товара от палет се случва, когато стоките са по-големи от палета. Това може да причини повреда на товара. Подходящият размер на товароносеца или по-доброто разположение на стоките върху палета ще подобрят обработката с мотокар.
Ширината на работния коридор е минималното пространство, необходимо на мотокара, за да навлезе в коридор (или между рафтове или други съоръжения) за поставяне или извличане на товар.
Допълнителното безопасно разстояние от 200 мм ще помогне да се осигури достатъчно пространство за безопасно завъртане на оператора в работния коридор.
За да определите максималната височина на повдигане, измерете височината на най-високата рафтова греда и добавете 150-200 мм, за да осигурите на оператора допълнително пространство за маневриране при поставяне на товара.
A forklift truck will state its load capacity, or nominal capacity. This is calculated as the maximum weight it can raise to a pre-determined height, when its load centre is at a certain point. The load centre is the horizontal distance from the vertical face of the forks to the centre of gravity of the load. Standard load centres vary depending on the nominal capacity of the forklift, and will be one of the following:
A forklift truck’s load capacity or nominal capacity is calculated as the maximum weight it can raise to a pre-determined height, when its load centre is at a certain point. If the load needs to be lifted above that height, or the load centre is further away, then the capacity will be lowered. That’s what residual capacity is: the actual lifting ability in a given situation, which may be less than the nominal capacity.
Either the forklift roof height or collapsed mast height will define which is the lowest height it can go under. Pay attention, when the forks are raised with a non free-lift mast, the inner mast section will lift as soon forks go up, influencing the lowest passing point.
Forklift attachments add extra weight and extend the load distance, reducing the load capacity.
Working in dust or wet environment might affect the proper functioning of forklifts and require more frequent servicing and repair. Trucks with high level of dust- and water protection are recommended for these environments.
To run several shifts, you need a forklift for intensive use with little time to refill. Electric counterbalanced trucks are clean and productive machines for indoor and outdoor use. In combination with lithium-ion batteries, they can be recharged quickly at any time, to keep going.
For working in hazardous or explosive environments, explosion proof forklifts should be used. The truck is adapted so no components can create sparks.
Cold store operations are one of the toughest working environments. Sub-zero temperatures affect your trucks’ battery capacity, electronics and lubrication. To prevent breakdown and repair costs, dedicated cold store trucks are highly recommended. Depending on the model, the trucks are additionally fitted with components such as cold store oil, stainless steel axles...
When selecting a forklift truck, you should verify if the model is capable of operating on the gradients you have on your site. The gradeability rating can be found in the truck’s data sheet. The maximum gradeability is the maximum grade a forklift can climb for a short period. Not only the ability to climb a slope is important, but also safely descending it when loaded.
