2026-01-15
Load Capacity Selection Standard range: 1.5t – 10t
Principle: Select a model with 10-20% higher rated load than the actual maximum cargo weight, to ensure operation safety.
Example: For 1.2t daily cargo, choose 1.5t model (e.g. CPCB15). Lifting Height Selection Standard height: 3m – 6m; customized height up to 12m for high rack warehouses.
Key tip: Match the height with your warehouse rack design. Add 0.5m margin for safe cargo stacking.
Initial Cost: Electric forklifts > IC forklifts; Lithium-ion battery > Lead-acid battery.
Operating Cost: Electric forklifts have lower energy cost and maintenance cost (no engine oil change); IC forklifts have higher fuel cost but faster refueling.
After-sales Service: Prioritize suppliers who can provide 12+ months warranty, spare parts supply and on-site maintenance service in your region.
