Why do electric forklifts use hydraulic transmission?

2025-01-18

As an important material transportation equipment, electric forklifts can effectively improve work efficiency. In daily use, we know that the efficiency of hydraulic transmission is significantly lower than that of mechanical transmission, but electric forklifts use hydraulic transmission. Do you know why? The following editor of Shuangchao Machinery will introduce it to you.

1. Hydraulic transmission has high work efficiency

When choosing a transmission scheme, you can not only focus on the transmission efficiency, but also need to analyze the total work efficiency. The hydraulic device can be started in a short time and perform multiple reversing, which can achieve 500 times/min of rotary motion. The above advantages and characteristics can greatly simplify the operation procedures. For example, when the electric forklift is changing from forward to reverse operation, if hydraulic transmission is used, the operator can directly change the forward gear to the reverse gear, and the hydraulic system can complete the entire buffer reversing work. If mechanical transmission is used, the operator needs to brake and pull the forward gear after the electric forklift stops running. Therefore, the use of hydraulic transmission can effectively reduce the number of operations and improve the work efficiency of the operator to a large extent.

2. Hydraulic transmission has the advantage of automated operation

This advantage mainly refers to the fact that hydraulic transmission can control the flow, pressure and flow direction of the liquid. When electrical and electronic control and hydraulic control are effectively combined, the entire transmission device can perform highly complex work, so that when the electric forklift drives the forklift system, it can be realized by using only a single motor drive, and it can also enable the electric forklift to perform operations such as running, steering, and lifting.

3. Generalization, serialization and standardization can be achieved

This will greatly facilitate the early design, production and application of the hydraulic system. In terms of component layout, the mobility of the hydraulic system is better than that of mechanical components. The above advantages make the subsequent research and development of forklift ancillary products more convenient. In view of the above advantages and characteristics, the transmission form of the electric forklift should use hydraulic transmission technology.

It can be seen that in the modern era of rapid technological development, forklifts have become an indispensable product, which is more like a choice of the times.
