Forklifts for warehouses and distribution centres
In a warehouse the building decides the machine before the load does: aisle width, floor loading, door height and the number of turns per trip.
What decides the machine here
Aisle width
A 2.0 t counterbalance needs roughly 3.5–3.8 m to turn into a rack; below that, a reach truck or a stacker is the only option.
Floor loading
A 3.5 t electric truck weighs over 5 t empty. Older mezzanines and upper floors are rated for the load, not the truck.
Door and rack height
Lift height is set by the top beam, not the ceiling. A triplex mast collapses lower but costs more and reduces residual capacity.
Shift pattern
Two-shift operation needs either a second battery or opportunity charging; one battery per truck is a single-shift answer.
Models that work in this environment
The first four sizes of each relevant range. Every one links to its full specification.
| Range | Model | Capacity | Bought for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Electric Forklift | MS-05 | 0.5 t | Three-wheel, 0. |
| Electric Forklift | MS-08 | 0.8 t | Three-wheel, 0. |
| Electric Forklift | MS-10 | 1 t | Four-wheel, 1. |
| Electric Forklift | MS-15 | 1.5 t | Four-wheel, 1. |
The mistake we see most
Buying a 3 t truck for 2 t pallets because the price difference is small. The heavier frame costs more per hour in tyre wear and energy, and it does not turn in the aisle the building actually has.
Describe the site, not the machine
