The chassis design of a stand on electric stacker has a crucial impact on stability. The following are several aspects of chassis design that affect stability:
Chassis width: The width of the chassis determines the support base of the electric forklift when working. A wider chassis provides better stability, especially when carrying heavy loads or working at heights. The wider support surface reduces the risk of rollover and ensures the safety of the operator and cargo.
Center of gravity position: Chassis design also involves the center of gravity position of the electric forklift. By rationally arranging each component, especially the battery and forks, the center of gravity of the forklift can be optimized to make it more stable. The low center of gravity design helps reduce the decrease in stability caused by increased height, making the electric forklift more stable when handling goods.
Material selection: The materials used in the chassis also affect its stability and durability. Strong and durable materials, such as steel, provide greater support and stability. In addition, material selection needs to consider weight to balance stability and maneuverability.
Tire design: The tire design on the chassis is also a key factor affecting stability. The size, material and pattern of the tire will affect the friction between it and the ground, thus affecting the stability and controllability of the electric forklift. Choosing the right tires can ensure that the electric forklift maintains good stability under different ground conditions.
Anti-tip device: Some advanced stand on electric stackers are also equipped with anti-tip devices. These devices are closely integrated with the chassis design and can be automatically triggered when the forklift reaches an unstable tilt angle, either mechanically or electronically. Prevent the forklift from tipping over.
The chassis design of a stand on electric stacker has a significant impact on stability. By optimizing the chassis width, center of gravity position, material selection, tire design, and equipping with anti-rollover devices, we can ensure that the electric forklift has excellent stability when handling goods and improve operational safety and efficiency.
