轴距是叉车的前轴和后轴之间的距离。轴距的长度会影响叉车的容量和特定用途。
长轴距
所需卡车的配重较低，卡车的整体重量更轻。
•优势：车轴压力更低
•缺点：转弯半径更大，存储容量降低
•优势：较小的转弯半径-需要较小的过道
•缺点：较大的轴重，不平坦的地面传输
短轴距
轴距较大的卡车更适合户外作业，而轴距较短的卡车更适合室内作业。
The Wheelbase is the distance betweenthe front axle and the rear axle of a lift truck. The length of the wheelbase effects the capacity and the specific usage of the lift truck.
Long Wheelbase
Lower counterweights for the truck required, lighter overall weight of the truck.
• Advantage: lower pressure on axles
• Disadvantage: Larger turning radius, reduced storage capacity
Short Wheelbase
• Advantage: smaller turning radius - smaller aisles needed
• Disadvantage: Larger axle loads, transmission of uneven floors
Trucks with larger wheelbase are better suited for outdoor operations, whereas trucks with shorter wheelbase are better suited for indoor operations.
