As the name suggests, the turning radius of the electric stacker refers to the distance required to turn 90 degrees. The turning radius of the stacker is one of the important performance parameters of the stacker, which determines how wide the aisle and work of the stacker can be It can be used normally in the place. The smaller the turning radius of the stacker, the smaller the width of the aisle required; so the storage area of the same area can stack more things, which greatly improves the utilization rate of the warehouse! So what factors determine the turning radius of the stacker?
The turning radius refers to the trajectory circle radius that the center plane of the outer steering wheel rolls on the support plane when the steering wheel is turned to the position and the stacker truck steers at a stable speed. To a large extent, it characterizes the ability of a car to pass through narrow and curved areas or circumvent insurmountable obstacles. The smaller the turning radius, the better the maneuverability of the stacker truck.
Generally speaking, the main factors that determine the turning radius of a stacker are: front and rear wheel base, left and right wheel base, fork length, and the size of the fork object. Therefore, the normal situation is that the turning radius of the manual stacker <the turning radius of the semi-electric stacker <the turning radius of the full electric stacker <the turning radius of the vehicle-mounted forklift. The turning radius of a forklift or pallet truck is generally the length of its front and rear wheelbase plus 0.3 meters.
In addition, it also involves a "channel diameter", that is, the electric stacker not only needs to turn 90° during operation, but also needs to turn around 180° in the channel, which is the required distance. The channel diameter is the main basis for measuring the passing performance of a stacker. Generally speaking, the diameter of the channel is the length of the vehicle plus 0.5 meters! Of course, this also depends on what kind of pallets and cargo sizes are used!
