Major Sections of Forklifts

Forklift Truck Frame

The truck frame of a forklift is like the chassis of a car, it is the metal frame that many of the major forklift components are attached to including the wheels and axels, engine, mast, counterweight, and overhead guard. In some forklifts, tanks for fuel or hydraulic fluids are built into the truck frame.

Counterweight

The counterweight is a weight on the back end of the forklift installed into the truck frame. Its purpose is to counterbalance the weight of the load lifted or carried by the forklift to keep it stable and prevent tipping.

The counterweight is designed only to counterbalance the intended maximum carrying capacity. It is important for forklift operators to know the maximum carrying capacity to prevent serious accidents.

Operator Cab & Levers

The operator cab is the area where the forklift driver sits to operate the equipment. The cabs generally include the steering wheel, brake and acceleration pedals, levers to control the forks and the mast, and a dashboard with gauges.

In some forklifts, the cab will have a seat for the operator while others are designed for the operator to stand. The steering system within a forklift typically uses a hydraulic steering cylinder and turns the rear axle while pivoting on the front tires.

The levers that are found in operator cabs typically include:

Tilt lever: used to adjust the angle of the forks.
Lift lever: used to lift the forks up and down.
Side shift lever: used to move the carriage horizontally.
The overhead guard is an extension of the operator cab that supports a metal roof over the head of the operator. On some forklifts, the cabs may be enclosed and include heating and cooling.

Power Source

Forklifts have two main power sources: an internal combustion engine or in the case of electric forklifts, an electric motor powered by a battery or fuel cells. Forklifts with internal combustion engines can run on gasoline, LP gas, CNG, or diesel fuel.

These engines are similar to combustion engines in cars, injecting liquid fuel and air into a cylinder with a piston that is powered by a crankshaft. A spark plug initiates the explosion that pushes the piston down in the cylinder, and the downward energy is converted into mechanical energy to power the forklift.

Forklift combustion engines are made up of many internal components, including chains, gears, and bearings that keep them functioning properly.
