industrial trucks for intralogistics
Industrial trucks – also known as floor conveyors – are means of transport for the horizontal transport of goods. Regulation 68 of the German Social Accident Insurance (DGUV) defines industrial trucks in the sense of the accident prevention regulations as conveying equipment that runs on wheels and is freely steerable, is suitable for transporting, pulling or pushing loads and is intended for use within the company.
In industry, logistics and trade, powerful forklifts are the most important transport vehicle. In construction and agriculture, telescopic forklifts with extended telescopic arms are often used. The freely moving vehicles are referred to as trackless industrial trucks and include:
Note : In contrast, devices for vertical transport are called overhead conveyors.
The Association of German Engineers (VDI) divides industrial trucks into seven groups ( VDI Guideline 3586 ):
Each group is assigned an abbreviation, for example EFM for “ Electric driver’s seat reach truck ”.
According to the German industrial standard DIN 15140 , a further distinction is made for forklift trucks with a driver's seat:
In the area of warehousing and logistics, a distinction is made between the following industrial trucks:
Note: According to DGUV Regulation 68, equipment such as straddle carriers, long-distance trucks, driverless transport vehicles, bed movers, reach stackers, narrow-aisle forklifts and tractors are also classified as industrial trucks.
The trackless conveyors can be differentiated according to the type of drive, load capacity and range of functions. Forklift trucks, the drive is manual or electric. Forklift trucks are available with electric motors, combustion engines or as hybrids. Below you will find an overview of various industrial truck models and the areas of application for forklift trucks etc.
Electric lithium pallet truck in use
Manual low-lift trucks are at the top of the hierarchy of industrial trucks. They are also known colloquially as "ants" and usually carry loads of 1,000 to 2,000 kg . Electric low-lift trucks are the practical alternative for the convenient transport of pallets.
Manual high lift trucks can be used to lift pallets and other goods into high racks. Electric high lift trucks are the ideal choice for demanding lifting and lowering work. The load capacity is usually around 1,500 kg .
lifting table trolleys in industry
Lift table trolleys and electric lifting tables lift goods and work equipment to the desired height. Lift tables can carry up to 1,000 kg and are also suitable for filling the lower areas of pallet racks .
The scissor lift trucks transport goods and lift goods weighing up to 1,000 kg up to a height of 900 mm . This allows employees to work without putting strain on their backs . They combine the advantages of lift trucks, mobile lifting tables and mobile lifting platforms.
Forklift trucks with scales combine several work steps and enable the goods to be weighed immediately.
These devices are used to put together orders in the warehouse. Basic models are low-lift devices with a driver's platform. A tugger train is also often used, which is a tractor vehicle with trailers. There are now also remote-controlled versions .
These forklifts make optimal use of the narrow space between high rack aisles. They usually have lifting heights of up to 15 m and load capacities of up to 1.5 t .
Reach trucks can reach particularly great heights and carry heavy loads. Lifting heights of up to 15 m and load capacities of up to 2.5 t are possible. They are also called side-seat trucks.
Multi-way forklifts and four-way forklifts with individually steerable wheels are the best choice for transporting long goods. These are available as side-seat and side-loading forklifts.
Also known as counterbalance forklifts, these industrial trucks are the standard for goods handling and transport. Three-wheel forklifts with load capacities of up to 2,000 kg offer better maneuverability and are the preferred choice in tight warehouses. Four-wheel forklifts can carry up to 8,000 kg .
