Under the background of accelerated reconstruction of the global supply chain, logistics and handling efficiency have become the core variables of competitiveness of enterprises in various industries such as manufacturing, warehousing, and e-commerce distribution. In the key links of this circulation line, forklift logistics equipment has always played the role of "first driving force". From traditional mechanical handling to intelligent scheduling system integration, forklifts and supporting logistics equipment are constantly evolving, driving the efficiency upgrade of the entire industrial chain.
As a powerful enterprise in this field, Shuangchao Machinery relies on its deep accumulation in forklift manufacturing and intelligent logistics solutions to continue to provide high-quality and highly adaptable logistics handling equipment to various customers. Its products cover electric forklifts, internal combustion forklifts, pallet trucks, stackers and automated logistics auxiliary systems, which are widely used in industrial manufacturing, food and medicine, cold chain transportation, e-commerce warehousing and other fields.
1. What is forklift logistics equipment?
Forklift logistics equipment refers to the core handling tools used in logistics operations such as material handling, stacking, loading and unloading, and short-distance transportation. It is mainly represented by forklifts, and also includes various warehousing logistics auxiliary equipment, such as pallet trucks, stackers, tractors and automatic guided handling equipment.
Unlike ordinary mechanical equipment, forklift logistics equipment not only undertakes the function of moving heavy objects, but also needs to operate efficiently in narrow spaces, complex terrain, specific temperature environments, etc. Therefore, its design standards, technical requirements and safety specifications are particularly stringent.
2. Detailed explanation of the classification of forklift logistics equipment
According to the different power modes, functional uses and applicable scenarios, forklift logistics equipment can be roughly divided into the following categories:
1. Classification by power system
(1) Electric forklift
Powered by batteries, it is green and environmentally friendly and suitable for indoor scenes such as warehousing, e-commerce, and medicine.
Advantages: low noise, no exhaust gas, smooth operation, and low maintenance cost.
Representative product: SC-E series electric counterbalanced forklift of Shuangchao Machinery.
(2) Internal combustion forklift
Driven by diesel, gasoline or liquefied gas, it has strong power and is suitable for outdoor, heavy load or construction site handling.
Advantages: strong load-bearing capacity, stable operation, and adaptability to harsh environments.
Typical applications: building materials, metallurgy, port loading and unloading.
2. Classification by structure and function
(1) Counterbalanced forklift
The most common type of forklift, with a fork at the front and a counterweight at the rear, used to carry palletized cargo.
Applicable scenarios: general handling, industrial manufacturing, and e-commerce warehousing.
(2) Reach forklift
The fork can be extended forward into the shelf, suitable for high-density stereoscopic warehouses.
Features: large lifting height and adaptable to narrow spaces.
(3) Stackers and pallet trucks
Used for stacking and short-distance pallet movement, they are the "backbone" of e-commerce and warehousing logistics.
The multifunctional electric stacker launched by Shuangchao Machinery has a human-machine interface and an electronically controlled speed regulation system, which has been widely praised by the market.
3. Automation and intelligent equipment
With the upgrading of industrial automation, AGV (automatic guided vehicle) and AMR (autonomous mobile robot) have gradually emerged, integrating laser navigation, path planning, and IoT communication to realize unmanned logistics operations.
Shuangchao Machinery is also actively planning the development of "forklift intelligent navigation control system" to help customers achieve intelligent upgrading of handling.
3. Core technologies of forklift logistics equipment
The manufacturing of a high-performance forklift system is far from a simple mechanical assembly. It involves multiple engineering technology modules:
1. Power system optimization
Efficient motor system, fuel consumption control strategy, and battery management system (BMS) directly affect the equipment's endurance and energy consumption. In the field of new energy electric forklifts, Shuangchao Machinery has independently developed a low-temperature intelligent charging system to adapt to cold chain and low-temperature storage scenarios.
2. Hydraulic control technology
The hydraulic system is the core of forklift lifting, forward tilting, side shifting and other actions. Advanced proportional valve control and intelligent hydraulic adjustment can achieve smooth handling and fine control.
3. Vehicle structure and process design
High-quality steel, reasonable counterweight layout, and anti-vibration and noise reduction design determine the stability and safety of the equipment. Shuangchao Machinery adopts a modular structure design to facilitate maintenance and parts replacement.
4. Human-machine interaction and intelligent instruments
High-end forklifts pay more and more attention to driving experience, equipped with LCD instruments, touch interfaces, voice alarms, remote diagnosis and other systems. Shuangchao Machinery's new generation SC series forklifts have remote data management functions, which can view usage frequency, fault records and maintenance reminders in real time.
5. Intelligent system integration
In the smart warehousing system, forklifts can realize automatic task reception, path optimization, inventory update and other functions through RFID, QR code scanning, and WMS interface. Shuangchao Machinery is actively promoting cooperation with logistics software companies to create an integrated solution of "software + hardware".
4. Development trend of forklift logistics equipment
1. Evolution towards new energy and environmental protection
With the tightening of environmental protection regulations, new energy forklifts have gradually replaced traditional internal combustion forklifts and become the mainstream, and technologies such as lithium batteries and hydrogen fuel cells are rapidly popularizing.
2. Upgrade to automation and unmanned
Against the background of rising labor costs, automatic forklifts with autonomous navigation and intelligent scheduling will become the standard in the future.
3. Deep integration with the industrial Internet
Through data collection and cloud platform integration, remote operation and maintenance, health monitoring and efficiency statistics of equipment can be realized.
4. Customization and scenario customization trends are obvious
Different industries have higher and higher requirements for the spatial adaptability, temperature tolerance, and special functions (such as explosion-proof and anti-corrosion) of forklifts, which promotes the evolution of equipment towards diversification and customization.
5. Shuangchao Machinery: Manufacturer and solution provider of reliable forklift equipment
