A practical evidence checklist for RFQ preparation and supplier evaluation.
CNFX does not score or rank suppliers. Buyers must verify all claims and documents with the legal manufacturer before ordering.
According to the reference data, the lifting capacity ranges from 1000 to 5000 kg at a specified load center, as per ISO 3691-1. However, the exact capacity depends on the specific forklift model and configuration. Always verify with the manufacturer or supplier.
The mast uses hydraulic cylinders that extend and retract to raise and lower the mast channels. The channels slide along rollers or bearings, and the force is transferred to the carriage via chains or direct cylinder attachment. This design provides controlled vertical travel.
The standard mast tilt angle is 6 degrees forward and 10 degrees backward, as per ISO 3691-1. This tilt helps stabilize loads during transport and stacking. Confirm the exact angles for your specific mast model.
The mast assembly operates within a specified pressure range (1.0–1.6 MPa) and temperature range (-20 to 50 °C). Operating outside these ranges can lead to insufficient lifting force or seal failure. Always check the manufacturer's specifications for your application.
