Application of Section Steel in Forklift Gantry

With the continuous upgrading of domestic forklift products and the sustained and rapid development of forklift industry, the demand for hot rolled steel for forklift gantry has increased sharply. With the improvement of forklift truck quality, users require portal frame steel to develop in the direction of high strength, high toughness and high precision. In recent years, hot-rolled section steel for forklift gantry has been widely used and developed rapidly in China's forklift industry. With the rapid development of domestic forklift industry and the continuous upgrading of product quality, the production and application technology of hot rolled steel for forklift gantry is becoming more and more mature. At present, there are mainly three types of section steel used for forklift gantry in China (see the figure below), more than 80% of which have been localized, and a few are welded or imported. Using domestic hot-rolled gantry steel instead of imported gantry steel can greatly reduce the manufacturing cost of forklift and enhance the cost advantage of forklift enterprises; When it is used to replace welded products, it can reduce the manufacturing cost, avoid residual stress, improve the performance of portal frame steel, shorten the manufacturing cycle and save a lot of manpower and material resources.

Domestic companies, such as Laigang and Laigangbao, have developed section steel for forklift gantry that meets the requirements of users, which meets the needs of users and saves a lot of costs for users, and has been widely accepted and recognized. In recent years, the quantity and quality of hot rolled steel used for forklift gantry in China have made great progress. These manufacturers are in the forefront of domestic enterprises in the production technology field of hot-rolled steel for forklift gantry, and their production technology and product quality control are relatively mature. Hot-rolled steel products for forklift gantry can support the supply market more and more. Compared with foreign products, there are fewer and fewer blank spots in varieties and specifications of domestic hot-rolled steel for forklift gantry, which can adapt to the present situation and development needs of production technology.

With the increasing demand for hot-rolled steel for forklift gantry in China and the maturity of production application technology, in order to better guide production and meet the demand of forklift manufacturers for gantry steel, the metallurgical industry standard for hot-rolled steel for forklift gantry in China will be released soon.
