 Forklift Drive Unit

What is a Forklift Drive Unit?

A forklift drive unit is an assembly or unit that is made up of a number of electromechanical elements that work together to propel the driving wheels of a forklift. As a general rule, these drive units are found on electric forklift models; and depending on the type of electric forklift we have, we can find one or another type of drive unit. An electric drive unit for forklifts is the equivalent of the motor-gearbox system found on forklifts powered by internal combustion engines. Within its configurations, there is usually an independent differential system with a wet brakes system as well on each driving wheel. This makes them extremely versatile and efficient units.

The motors are connected to the drive wheels so that power can be supplied to the forklifts.
