    When selecting a warehouse forklift truck, several factors need to be considered to ensure that the truck selected can meet the specific needs of the warehouse and improve operational efficiency. Here are some key points to choose from:

    1. Warehouse operating environment and requirements
    Industry use: First of all, clarify the main use of the warehouse, such as storage supermarkets, large storage container operations or internal storage in the medical industry. Different industries have different needs for forklifts, such as supermarkets may be more inclined to choose manual or electric pallet trucks, and large warehousing requires forklifts with stacking and loading capabilities.
    Cargo characteristics: Consider the volume, weight, shape of the goods and the height of the storage shelf operation. These factors will directly affect the carrying capacity of the forklift, the lifting height of the fork and the width of the working channel.
    Working space: The spatial layout of the warehouse and the width of the channel are also important considerations in the selection of forklifts. Narrow channels need to choose a forklift with a small turning radius and strong mobility, such as a three-point electric forklift or a forward forklift.
    2. Forklift types and functions
    Electric pallet truck: mainly used for horizontal handling and cargo loading and unloading in the warehouse, the carrying capacity is generally between 1.6 and 3.0 tons, and the operation mode is walking, standing and sitting.
    Electric pallet stacker: divided into full electric and semi-electric two, carrying capacity of 1.0 ~ 2.5 tons, mainly used in the warehouse of goods stacking and loading and unloading, cargo fork lifting height up to 4.8 meters.
    Forklift truck: the carrying capacity is 1.5 ~ 2.5 tons, the door frame can be moved forward or retracted as a whole, suitable for stacking and picking operations of medium height in the warehouse, and the lifting height can reach about 11 meters.
    Three-way stacking forklifts: Both low-drive and high-drive, suitable for warehouse operations requiring a high degree of flexibility and efficiency, lifting heights of up to 12 meters and 14.5 meters respectively.
    Other types of forklifts: such as counterweight electric forklifts, electric picking forklifts, etc., choose according to specific needs.
