When most new users choose and use electric forklifts, they usually pay more attention to parameters including load capacity, battery life and driving speed, and often overlook the mast, which is the core basic component that supports all lifting operations. The forklift mast is the original starting point to understand the full performance of the whole equipment, and it directly affects the operation efficiency, operation safety and application scenario adaptability of the electric forklift.

As the core load-bearing structure responsible for driving goods to rise and fall, the forklift mast is mainly composed of inner and outer gantry frames, lifting chains, rollers, hydraulic cylinders and limit protection components. Different structural designs can match different actual operation demands. For conventional low-height pallet handling scenarios, the two-stage mast with free lifting function can meet the daily use needs without exceeding the limited height limit of warehouse passages. For high-level shelf storage scenarios, the three-stage full free mast can realize higher lifting height while keeping the whole vehicle body low, which is suitable for most narrow channel stereo warehouse operation environments.

Different from the traditional internal combustion forklift, the new energy electric forklift matches the mast with more stable hydraulic output system, which can effectively reduce the shaking amplitude of the goods during the lifting and descending process, and reduce the risk of fragile cargo collision and damage during handling. For daily use and maintenance, operators need to regularly check the wear degree of the mast rollers, the tension of the lifting chain and the sealing performance of the hydraulic system, avoid long-term overloading operation beyond the rated load, and regularly add lubricating oil to the movable connection parts, so as to effectively prolong the service life of the mast and reduce the failure rate in daily operation.
