Turning Radius Of A Counterbalanced Forklift

The turning radius of a counterbalanced forklift refers to the distance from the instantaneous center of the forklift to the outermost side of the vehicle body when the forklift's steering wheel is turned to the extreme position and turns at the lowest stable speed. The turning radius is the minimum space required for a forklift to turn, usually expressed in meters (m).

The turning radius of counterbalanced forklifts of different models and brands is different. For example, the minimum turning radius of Zhongli Australia's 2-ton three-wheel counterbalanced electric forklift is 1.605 meters, while the minimum turning radius of BYD Australia's 5-ton counterbalanced forklift is only 2.6 meters. In addition, the minimum turning radius of XCMG's 10-ton internal combustion counterbalanced forklift is 4350 mm.

When choosing a counterbalanced forklift, the turning radius is an important parameter. It needs to choose the right model according to the size and shape of the actual workplace to ensure that the forklift can be flexibly operated in a narrow working environment.
