Forklifts are widely used in warehouses, factories, ports, logistics centers and other scenarios, and their parts need to withstand long-term heavy load operation, frequent start-stop, friction and impact, as well as harsh environmental impacts (such as dust, oil pollution, high and low temperature differences) and strict safety standards. Our forklift part precision castings are developed and produced for these characteristics, adopting near-net-shape precision casting technology to achieve high dimensional accuracy, excellent surface quality and stable mechanical properties. The products can be directly used for assembly after minimal post-processing, effectively improving production efficiency, reducing assembly errors and ensuring the safe, stable and efficient operation of forklifts in long-term heavy-load service.
Our precision castings cover a full range of forklift parts, with specifications ranging from small precision components (weight 0.03kg, length 3mm) to large load-bearing components (weight 300kg, length 1500mm), which can meet the diverse needs of different types of forklifts and material handling equipment. All products are designed and manufactured in strict accordance with international material handling equipment standards (such as ISO 6055, ANSI B56.1, GB/T 10054) to ensure compatibility and interchangeability with mainstream forklift models at home and abroad.
Core Advantages
High Precision & Stable Dimensions
Adopting advanced investment casting (lost wax casting), shell mold casting and precision sand casting technologies. Dimensional tolerance can reach ±0.06mm for small parts. Surface roughness of Rmax 3.2S~8S effectively avoids assembly gaps and ensures tight fits in lifting and steering systems.
Excellent Mechanical Properties
Customized production using alloy steel (20CrMnTi, 42CrMo), ductile iron (QT600-3), and stainless steel. Optimized heat treatment ensures tensile strength and wear resistance. Fork castings can withstand 5-50 tons without deformation.
Strict Safety Assurance
Established full-process safety control. Key components like fork arms and steering knuckles undergo non-destructive testing (Ultrasonic, X-ray, Magnetic particle) with a 100% defect detection rate for critical safety parts.
Strong Customization
Professional R&D team provides development based on customer drawings. Compatible with mainstream brands including Toyota, Mitsubishi, Hyster, Yale, Hangcha, Lonking and other major material handling equipment.
Energy-Saving & Green Manufacturing
We adhere to green manufacturing, optimizing casting processes and using eco-friendly materials. The lightweight design of precision castings helps reduce the overall weight of the forklift, reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions, which is especially beneficial for extending electric forklift battery life.
Casting Process & Quality Control
1. Advanced Casting Process
The whole production process adopts standardized, automated operation, covering investment casting (silica sol process) for complex small parts, shell mold casting for medium batches, and precision sand casting for large load-bearing parts up to 300kg. Intelligent monitoring ensures stable casting speed and temperature.
2. Strict Quality Control System
Passed ISO9001 and ISO/TS16949 automotive quality management systems. Full-process control covers raw material inspection, mold making, smelting, heat treatment, and finished product inspection. All qualified products are accompanied by a quality inspection report for full traceability.
