Forklifts have a speed limit of 5km/h indoors and 10km/h outdoors. The rated load capacity of a forklift refers to the maximum weight of goods allowed to be lifted when the distance from the center of gravity of the goods to the front wall of the fork does not exceed the load center distance, expressed in T (tons). When the center of gravity of the goods on the fork exceeds the specified load center distance, the lifting capacity should be reduced accordingly due to the limitations of the forklift's longitudinal stability. Here is more information: Load center distance: The load center distance refers to the horizontal distance T from the center of gravity of standard goods placed on the fork to the front wall of the vertical section of the fork, expressed in mm (millimeters). For forklifts with a capacity of 1T to 4T, the load center distance is specified as 500mm. Maximum lifting height: The maximum lifting height refers to the vertical distance from the upper surface of the horizontal section of the fork to the level ground where the forklift is located when the forklift is fully loaded and the goods are raised to the highest position on a flat and solid ground.

As a seasoned electric vehicle driver with years of experience, the speed limit depends on road conditions and regulations. In urban areas, it's best not to exceed 60 km/h, while on highways, follow the posted signs, usually staying under 120 km/h. Electric vehicles have strong torque and quick acceleration, but don't go too wild, especially at high speeds where wind resistance significantly increases energy consumption and drains the battery faster. I've also noticed that driving too fast in high temperatures raises the risk of battery overheating, which can lead to malfunctions. From a safety perspective, electric vehicles don't have special speed-limiting mechanisms—it's mostly up to the driver's self-discipline. Once, I tried driving at 140 km/h and felt the car was unstable; now I drive steadily for safety and cost savings. In terms of maintenance, a friend had to repair a car where excessive speeding caused bearing issues. Bottom line: don't exceed the legal speed limits.

Safety always comes first, and the speed of electric vehicles must never exceed the limits set by traffic regulations. For example, in China, the highway speed limit is 120 km/h, 60 km/h in urban areas, and even lower in school zones. Although electric vehicles may have electronic speed limiters set to over 200 km/h, that's a manufacturer's anti-explosion design, and such high speeds are unnecessary for daily use. Having driven various electric vehicles, I can attest that at high speeds, tires are prone to slipping, especially in bad weather, which increases danger. Additionally, the battery consumes excessive power, shortening its lifespan. I recommend new owners adjust their navigation's speed limit reminder function to develop good habits. For industrial electric vehicles like forklifts, speed limits are strictly enforced at only 5 to 10 km/h—exceeding these limits significantly increases the risk of tipping over.

The speed limit of an electric vehicle depends on the road speed limit and the vehicle itself. For my daily commute with a small electric car, driving at 100-110 kilometers per hour on the highway is the most reasonable—it neither exceeds the speed limit nor wastes electricity, and it drops to 80 in rainy days for safety. The electronic speed limiter in the car is usually set high, such as above 150, but there's no need to test it. Driving fast affects stability and increases braking distance. Just remember to comply with local regulations and don't think too much about tricks.
