This utility model relates to the field of vehicle technology, and more particularly to a forklift
drive wheel assembly and a forklift. The forklift
drive wheel assembly provided by this utility model includes a mounting bracket, a
drive wheel, and a drive mechanism. The mounting bracket has a first side and a second side facing away from each other. The drive mechanism includes a drive source, a gear reduction
assembly, and a planetary gear assembly. The drive source is disposed on the first side of the mounting bracket, and the gear reduction assembly is disposed on the second side of the mounting bracket. The output end of the drive source is connected to the input end of the gear reduction assembly through the planetary gear assembly. The drive wheel is disposed on the first side of the mounting bracket and offset from the drive source, and the drive wheel is connected to the output end of the gear reduction assembly. By using the planetary gear assembly, the
reduction ratio can be increased without changing the speed of the drive wheel, thus enabling the gear reduction assembly to adapt to drive sources with low torque,
large capacity, and small size. The forklift provided by this utility model can meet the requirements of
miniaturization.
