How to Measure the Performance of a Forklift？

For many customers, it is relatively easy to use forklifts, but they know less about forklifts, and usually they think that as long as a forklift is used for a long time and does not break down frequently, it has good performance. In fact, the performance of a forklift is not only reflected by these two aspects, but also reflected in high efficiency, low cost, safety and reliability, ergonomic principle, high configuration and so on.

1、 High efficiency

It mainly refers to the time used in completing a certain work and basically maintaining this efficiency during this time, and many factors can drive the improvement of efficiency.

 

   1. the speed of driving and lifting

 

   2. ergonomic design, so that the driver is not easy to fatigue

 

   3. driving up with an open view

2、 Low cost

 

It is the total cost that enterprises need to spend to purchase and use forklifts

 

   1. Purchasing cost in the early stage

 

   2. Later maintenance cost

 

   3. The usual energy consumption cost

 

   4. The main labor cost

 

If the service life of the forklift is long, the procurement cost will be lower. The maintenance cost is mainly reflected in the frequency of failure rate. A good quality forklift has a low failure rate, and its maintenance cost is also reduced. Different types of forklifts reflect different energy costs, such as some use electricity, some use diesel, some use gas, etc. The labor cost is mainly reflected in the salary of the driver.
