Forklift truck turning circle refers to the minimum space required for a forklift to complete a full 180-degree turning maneuver, which is one of the core reference indicators for daily warehouse site planning and operation management. Unreasonable planning of this parameter will either cause excessive aisle occupation and waste limited storage space, or lead to insufficient operation space, frequent scraping of shelves and goods, and even increase the risk of operation safety accidents.
When carrying out targeted planning around forklift truck turning circle, you need to first confirm the actual parameters of the electric forklift put into daily operation. Different load capacities, lifting heights and body structures of electric forklifts will lead to differences in the actual required turning space. It is not recommended to directly copy the theoretical minimum turning circle data given in the product manual for site planning, you need to reserve a certain extra buffer space according to the actual operation proficiency of on-site operators, so as to leave enough adjustment margin for daily operation.

In the actual planning process, it is also necessary to combine the on-site warehouse layout characteristics, such as the spacing between adjacent shelf groups, the passage intersection where forklifts and pedestrians cross, the material temporary storage area at both ends of the aisle, and other special scenarios to make targeted adjustment of the reserved space for turning. For the storage scenarios that pursue high space utilization and require narrow aisle layout, you can match the corresponding electric forklift products with small turning circle characteristics, to balance the two demands of space saving and operation convenience.
