What is the structure of a forklift?

[VonMakayla]

There are many types of forklifts, mainly composed of engines, chassis (travel mechanism), body, lifting mechanism, hydraulic system, and electrical equipment. The following is a related introduction: Forklifts are industrial handling vehicles, referring to various wheeled handling vehicles used for loading and unloading, stacking, and short-distance transportation of palletized goods. The technical parameters of a forklift are used to indicate its structural characteristics and working performance. The main technical parameters include: rated load capacity, load center distance, etc.

When I first started operating forklifts, I made a point to study their construction. They mainly consist of the power system (engine or motor), chassis (transmission and drive axle), working device (mast and forks), hydraulic system (oil pump and cylinders), and electrical system. The most noticeable part is the mast and fork assembly, which is lifted and tilted by hydraulic cylinders. The counterweight design at the rear is particularly crucial; without it, the whole vehicle could tip over when lifting loads. There's also an overhead guard to protect the operator, and the steering axle is incredibly agile.
