(1) Loading and unloading capability. The loading and unloading performance of a forklift refers to its lifting capacity and loading and unloading speed. The quality of loading and unloading performance has a direct impact on the productivity of forklifts. Forklifts with large lifting capacity, large load center distance, and working speed have good loading and unloading performance.

(2) Traction. The traction of a forklift refers to its performance in terms of driving and accelerating speed, traction force, and climbing ability. Fast driving and acceleration, high traction and climbing slope result in good traction.

(3) Braking performance. The braking performance of a forklift indicates its ability to reduce speed and stop as required during operation. Usually measured by the braking distance when braking at a certain driving speed. If the braking distance is short, the braking performance is good.

(4) Mobility. The mobility of a forklift indicates its ability to move flexibly. If the external dimensions of a forklift are small, it has good maneuverability.

(5) Passibility. The passability of a forklift refers to its ability to overcome road obstacles and pass through various adverse road surfaces. If the external dimensions of a forklift are small, the wheel pressure is small, the ground clearance is large, and the traction force of the driving wheels is large, then the forklift has good passability.

(6) Manipulation. The handling of a forklift refers to the lightness and comfort of forklift operation. If the positions between the operating components of a forklift are arranged properly, it will have good maneuverability.

(7) Economy. The economy of a forklift mainly refers to its cost and operating expenses, including power consumption, productivity, ease of use, and durability.
