Telescopic boom forklift truck is a kind of multi-purpose forklift truck with cross-country performance and telescopic boom, which has been widely used since it was introduced in 1981 by Manitou, France. It is equipped with a telescopic boom, and its forks or attachments are usually installed on the boom, which can lift or fork the goods. The forks of this type of forklift truck can cross obstacles, go through holes, etc. for forklift operation, and can stack and de-stack multiple rows of goods under complicated working conditions. The main applications include the following:
1. Construction site: Telescopic boom forklift has wide application in construction site. It can be used for unloading and short-distance transportation of construction materials, dropping construction materials directly to the work site, or feeding automobile cranes and tower cranes.
2. Aerial work: due to its telescopic boom feature, the telescopic boom forklift is able to carry out a lot of aerial work. In the field of airport, electric power, advertisement, street light and so on, the application of telescopic boom forklift is very wide. In addition, it can also be used as an aerial installation platform.
3. Industrial enterprises: In industrial enterprises, the telescopic boom forklift can be used to carry blocks, strips, and building materials of irregular shapes; use the hopper to carry bulk materials and level the ground; and use the glass suction cups to install the curtain wall and other functions.
4. Versatility: Telescopic boom forklift trucks are equipped with a variety of quickly replaceable attachments, such as forks, buckets, truss arms, vertical gantries, etc., which makes it possible to operate continuously for a long time without the need to purchase additional equipment.
5. Special application: Telescopic boom forklift trucks can also be used to excavate soil, rocks and minerals, and are usually used to excavate roads, tunnels and mines.
What are the safe operating procedures for telescopic boom forklift trucks working at height?
The safety operation procedures of telescopic boom forklift trucks in overhead operation include the following aspects:
1. Locking mechanism and system: The locking mechanism and locking system of the integrated PWP (Platform Work Protection) of the telescopic boom forklift trucks can be manual or automatic, but they cannot be operated from the platform.
2. Load limitation: When there is a load, it is strictly forbidden to telescope the boom. When close to full load, the winding of the boom should be checked. The slewing shall not be rapid and emergency braking, and the raising and lowering of the boom shall be slow.
3. Clutch operation: When operating, the clutch lever should be locked to prevent sudden release of the clutch.
4. Delay buffer function: walking, main arm lifting and lowering, main arm telescoping, rotary table rotation and other actions should have a delay buffer function to prevent impact.
5. Emergency operation: the equipment should be equipped with emergency operation function to cope with unexpected situations.
6. Structural safety and functional safety: the basic requirements, test methods and test requirements of telescopic boom forklift involve structural safety, functional safety and environmental adaptability.
7. Technical requirements and performance requirements: The standard specifies the design requirements, performance requirements, operation requirements and safety requirements of forklift trucks.
How to choose the right type and specification of telescopic boom forklift according to the needs of different industries?
Choosing the right model and specification of telescopic boom forklift trucks needs to be based on the specific needs of different industries. Here are some detailed steps and suggestions:
Determine the industry application:
1.Telescopic boom forklift trucks are widely used in construction sites, agriculture and animal husbandry, logistics industry, dock work, aerial work and trailer transportation.
2. The needs of specific industries will affect the choice of telescopic boom forklift trucks, for example, in the aerial working platform or construction machinery industry, off-road performance and a variety of attachments are particularly important.
Consider the rated load and lifting height:
1. Standard telescopic boom trucks such as the MT 1840 have a rated load of 4 tons, a maximum lifting height of 18 meters, a horizontal reach of 13.08 meters, and an engine power of 100 Hp, which meet most of the needs of the construction industry and certain industrial sectors.
2. For applications requiring higher lifting heights, the MRT 1845 can be selected, with a lifting height of up to 18 meters, suitable for construction and certain industrial sectors.
Selection of attachments:
1. Telescopic boom forklift trucks are versatile and can be adapted to different operational needs by quickly changing attachment devices, such as forks, buckets, truss arms, vertical gantries, etc.
2. This flexibility allows the telescopic boom forklift truck to be used in a wide range of industries without the need to purchase another model, simply by adding a few attachments to an existing machine.
Consider equipment size and weight:
1. The size and weight of the equipment is also a factor to consider when making a selection. For example, the XTF6514K model has an overall weight of 16,500kg and is of a larger size, making it suitable for scenarios that require larger equipment.
2. For environments with limited space, it may be necessary to choose a more compact and lighter weight equipment.
Choosing the right telescopic boom forklift model and specifications requires comprehensive consideration of factors such as industry application, rated load, lifting height, attachments, equipment size and weight, and market development environment.
