Power System Components

Electric Forklift Battery: Provides energy for the electric forklift. Common types include rechargeable lead-acid batteries and lithium-ion batteries.
Electric Forklift Motor: Converts electrical energy into mechanical power to drive the forklift’s operations, such as traveling and lifting/lowering of the forks.
Electric Forklift Transmission: Adjusts the motor’s speed and torque to meet requirements under different working conditions, such as moving forward, reversing, and climbing slopes.

Body and Frame Components

Electric Forklift Frame: The main structural component of the electric forklift, usually made of durable metal materials. It supports and bears components like the forks, cargo, and operator cab.
Electric Forklift Body Shell: Typically made of steel, it protects internal mechanical and electrical components while also enhancing the forklift’s aesthetic appearance.

Electric Forklift Wheels: Usually equipped with rubber tires, divided into front wheels and rear wheels. Some forklifts adopt a front-and-rear-wheel drive system to enable operations like moving forward, reversing, and turning, ensuring good maneuverability on various surfaces.
Electric Forklift Wheel Hubs: Connect the wheels to the axles, supporting and securing the wheels while withstanding various forces generated during the forklift’s travel.

Electric Forklift Forks: One of the most important components of an electric forklift, used for handling cargo. They usually consist of two telescopic forks that can move up and down to adapt to different cargo stacking heights.
Electric Forklift Cargo Clamping Device: Installed at the end of the forks, it secures the cargo to prevent it from slipping during handling, improving handling safety.

Control Lever: Used to control operations such as lifting/lowering of the forks, forward/reverse movement, and steering. It is one of the main tools for the operator to control the forklift.
Buttons: Include various functional buttons, such as start button, stop button, horn button, and light button, facilitating the operator to perform various operations.
Instrument Panel: Displays information such as battery power, speed, and oil pressure, allowing the operator to monitor the forklift’s operating status at any time.

Electric Forklift Controller: Regulates the motor’s operation and shutdown to achieve precise control of the forklift. It also manages the battery’s charging and discharging process to protect the safe operation of the battery and motor.
Electric Forklift Contactor: Used to control the on/off of the circuit, enabling functions such as motor forward/reverse rotation and speed regulation. It is a key control component in the electrical system.
Wires and Cables: Connect various electrical components to transmit electrical energy and signals, ensuring the normal operation of the electrical system.

Service Brake: Used to reduce the forklift’s speed or stop its movement. It usually adopts hydraulic braking or electromagnetic braking, achieving braking function through friction between brake pads and brake discs or brake drums.
Parking Brake: Also known as the handbrake, it fixes the forklift’s position when parked to prevent it from sliding. It generally uses mechanical or manual operation.

Steering Gear: Usually hydraulic or electric, it controls the forklift’s steering through a control lever or steering wheel, allowing the operator to maneuver the forklift easily in narrow spaces.
Steering Cylinder: Pushes the wheels to steer according to instructions from the steering gear, realizing the forklift’s steering movement.

Load Sensor: Detects the weight of the cargo, allowing the operator to control the lifting/lowering of the forks properly, preventing overloading of the forklift and ensuring the safety of the cargo and the forklift.
Warning Lights: Include turn signals, brake lights, reverse lights, and warning flashers. They send signals to people around to indicate the forklift’s operating status and operational intentions.
Audio Warning Devices: Such as horns and buzzers, they emit audio warnings when the forklift starts, reverses, or is overloaded, reminding people around to pay attention to safety.
