They are commonly used for transporting large items in warehouses and are typically powered by fuel engines or batteries. The forklift carriage is one of the important load-bearing components in the forklift handling system, and it plays a very important role in the forklift's handling performance.

[0003] The forklift carriage is mainly composed of parts such as the upper crossbeam, lower crossbeam, side plates, upright plates, large stiffeners, and small stiffeners.
