How to define the climbing ability of electric forklifts
Electric forklifts have a certain climbing ability, but not all slopes can be climbed freely. The climbing ability of forklifts is one of their performance indicators. We often see the words' 10% climbing ability 'for electric forklifts, but many people are not very familiar with what this represents.
We need to know that the climbing angle of electric forklifts is limited. In industry, the climbing ability of forklifts is usually expressed as a percentage. For example, the climbing ability of electric forklifts is 15%, which means the ratio of the height of the slope (H) to the horizontal distance (L). The 10% you mentioned is like this. You can imagine a right angled shape with H=10 meters and L=100 meters.
This is the climbing ability of electric forklifts. Of course, the climbing ability of electric forklifts is also affected by different situations of empty and full load. The lighter the weight, the stronger the climbing ability. Generally, the climbing ability of electric forklifts under empty and full load is between 6% and 10%. Therefore, we must pay attention to this when using electric forklifts for climbing to avoid inconvenience in work.
