Warehouse Forklift Electrical Parts

Warehouse Forklift Electrical Parts

The electrical parts of warehouse forklifts are rich in variety, each with its own advantages.
Drive Motors: As the core power source, they can be divided into DC and AC types. DC motors have a large starting torque, enabling the forklift to start up quickly. AC motors, on the other hand, are more efficient and have lower maintenance costs, providing stable and powerful driving force for long-term operations.
Controllers: Just like the "brain" of the forklift, they receive operation commands and precisely regulate the speed and steering of the motor, allowing the forklift to move flexibly.
Contactors: Responsible for switching the circuit on and off. When the forklift performs operations such as lifting, lowering, moving forward, or backward, it can reliably close or open the corresponding circuits, ensuring the smooth connection of each movement.
Sensors: Include weight sensors, height sensors, etc. The weight sensors monitor the weight of the goods to prevent overloading, while the height sensors track the height of the forks, assisting in accurately aligning with the storage racks.
Batteries and Chargers: Batteries store energy for the operation of the forklift. Lead-acid batteries are low-cost, while lithium batteries have a high energy density and fast charging speed. The matching chargers can intelligently match the charging mode, take care of the battery health, and maintain a long battery life.
