Forklift Performance Evaluation Criteria

1. High efficiency. High efficiency does not only mean high speed (driving, lifting, and lowering speed), it also means that the operator needs a short time to complete a work 

cycle and can maintain this efficiency throughout the working time. Many factors can promote efficiency improvement:

    ① Speed, such as driving speed, lifting and lowering speed, etc.

    ② The application of ergonomic design to reduce the number of operating actions.

    ③ Accuracy of operation.

    ④ The application of ergonomic design to minimize fatigue.

    ⑤ Good vision.

2. Low cost. When an enterprise purchases and uses a forklift, the total cost per year includes:

    ① Procurement cost.

    ② Maintenance cost.

    ③ Energy consumption cost.

    ④ Labor cost.

3. High safety. The safety design of the forklift can fully guarantee the safety of the driver, cargo and the forklift itself. High-quality forklifts often take into account every detail 

and every possibility in safety design.

4. Ergonomics. Ergonomics is a science that is widely used in product design, especially in improving the operating environment, with the purpose of maximizing production 

efficiency by reducing driver fatigue and increasing operating comfort. In forklift design, ergonomics is reflected in all aspects:

    ① Reduce driver fatigue during operation: The unique design can reduce the driver's operating movements and make the operation more labor-saving.

    ② Comfort: The humanized design can keep the driver in a good mood and reduce operating errors.

    ③ Good vision: Providing a good vision for the forklift operation process can not only improve efficiency, but also ensure the safety of the driver.
