1. Reach forklift
The mast or fork of a reach forklift can move forward and backward. When picking up goods, the fork can be extended under the goods, and then the mast moves back with the fork and goods, so that the center of gravity of the goods falls within the wheel support plane. Its body is small and its weight is light, which has obvious advantages in indoor warehouses with limited space. Especially in narrow shelf aisles, it can work close to the shelves. This forklift has a small turning radius and can flexibly turn and move in a small space, effectively improving the utilization rate of warehouse space. The lifting capacity is generally between 1-2.5 tons, which is very suitable for handling goods in storage areas with limited space.
2. Pallet forklift (pallet truck)
Pallet forklift is a small forklift with a simple structure. It is mainly used to carry pallet goods over a short distance on a flat surface. Manual or electric pallet forklifts are very flexible to operate, generally without a lifting mast, and the goods are placed at a lower position. This allows it to transfer goods in the loading and unloading area between the vehicle and the warehouse and in the narrow aisles inside the warehouse without taking up too much vertical space. The lifting capacity is usually less than 2 tons, making it a powerful tool for transporting palletized goods in a small space.
3. Three-way stacking forklift
The three-way stacking forklift can move the fork in three directions, that is, forward, left and right. This unique design eliminates the need for large turns in narrow aisles like traditional forklifts. It can stack and pick up goods in extremely narrow aisle widths, and can accurately place goods in designated locations on the shelves. It is particularly suitable for operations in high-rise shelf warehouses and compact logistics centers, effectively increasing warehouse storage density.
4. Narrow aisle forklift
Narrow aisle forklifts are specially designed for operation in narrow aisles. It usually adopts special designs such as side shifting devices, compact body structures, etc. to reduce the space required when operating in aisles. This type of forklift can travel and operate freely in channels with limited width, can adapt to complex warehouse layouts, improve the efficiency of cargo storage and retrieval, and provide a reliable solution for storage and logistics operations in narrow spaces.
In short, these types of forklifts have good adaptability and operating capabilities in narrow space operations with their own characteristics, meeting the material handling needs in specific environments. Enterprises can choose suitable forklifts according to their actual operating scenarios and cargo characteristics.
