The geometric dimensions and manoeuvrability of a forklift in narrow aisles are important in industrial enterprises and warehouses. In this paper, the influence of the geometric dimensions of the AGV forklift and the transported load on the dimensions of the aisle width is studied. The difference between aisle widths and turning radii required for the movement of the forklifts is shown, which affects to the efficiency of industrial sectors and warehouses. At the same time, the turning radii of three and four-wheeled AGV forklifts were analyzed and represented mathematical expressions.
A forklift is one of the most widely used vehicles in industry sectors in few decades. Therefore, it is important to create or improve their entire designs. This article proposes a method for determining the required corridor width by calculating the turning radius of standard counterweight Forklift and the new construction of forklift and compares their parameters. The effect of the new type of fork on the efficiency of forklifts and warehouses was studied.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
