1. High operational flexibility
Forks are movable: The characteristic of a forward moving forklift is that the forks can move forward and backward. When loading and unloading goods, the fork can extend forward, so that even if the forklift body is not close to the shelf or goods pile, it can easily pick up the goods. For example, in situations where the warehouse shelf aisle is narrow or the goods are stacked compactly, the forward movement function of the fork can allow the forklift to complete loading and unloading operations in a limited space, avoiding frequent overall movement of the forklift and reducing the requirements for workspace.
Litter turning radius: It usually has a litter turning radius, which allows forklifts to turn flexibly in narrow spaces. This feature is very practical in narrow working environments such as warehouse aisles and workshop passages. For example, in a workshop filled with goods, it is necessary to move materials between different production lines. Forward moving forklifts can easily shuttle between equipment and material piles with a litter turning radius, without being unable to operate due to narrow space.
2. High work efficiency
Fast loading and unloading of goods: Due to the forward movement of the forks, forklifts do not need to frequently adjust the position of the body when loading and unloading goods like traditional forklifts, and can quickly pick up or place goods in a certain position. For example, in logistics warehouses, for goods that require frequent loading and unloading, forward moving forklifts can effectively reduce loading and unloading time and improve cargo turnover efficiency.
Suitable for dense storage environments: In some high-density storage warehouses, the channels between shelves are often very narrow. Forward moving forklifts can work efficiently in such environments, as they can insert forks into the shelves and access goods correctly without taking up too much aisle space. In this way, the warehouse can set up more shelves to improve space utilization, and forklifts can also quickly move between shelves, thereby improving overall work efficiency.
3. Good safety
Stable center of gravity design: Forward moving forklifts are designed with full consideration for the balance of the center of gravity. When the forklift moves forward and carries goods, it can maintain the stability of the vehicle body through reasonable weight distribution and structural design. For example, its rear usually has appropriate counterweights, and with the cooperation of hydraulic systems, the center of gravity position is adjusted in real time to prevent forklifts from tipping over due to unstable center of gravity during loading, unloading, and transportation.
Good visibility: Generally speaking, the design of forward moving forklifts takes into account the operator's visibility. From the driving position, the operator can clearly see the position of the forks and the working environment ahead and around them. A good field of view helps operators to promptly detect potential safety hazards, such as obstacles in the aisle, the position of shelves, etc., in order to react in advance and avoid accidents such as collisions.
4. Environmental and energy-saving advantages
Mostly electric drive: Most forward moving forklifts use electric drive. Electric forklifts have no exhaust emissions, which is very important in enclosed environments such as indoor warehouses. It can effectively improve the working environment and reduce the harm to the health of workers. For example, in food or pharmaceutical warehouses, electric forward moving forklifts will not contaminate the goods and storage environment.
Energy recovery and utilization: Some good electric forward moving forklifts also have energy recovery functions. During the process of forklift braking or forklift lowering, the motor can convert mechanical energy into electrical energy and store it for subsequent forklift operations, which can save energy and reduce operating costs to a certain extent.
