Steel has excellent hardness and tensile strength, which can withstand the mechanical stress generated by 3 Wheel Electric Forklift when handling goods, collisions or accidental falls. This feature effectively reduces the risk of panel deformation or breakage, ensuring the stability of the body structure. At the same time, the sturdy steel shell can protect the core components inside, such as batteries, motors and hydraulic systems, from damage due to external impact, thereby extending the service life of the whole machine.

In working environments such as warehouses and construction sites, forklifts may frequently come into contact with metal debris, hard packaging or rough ground. Steel has a much better wear resistance than plastic or aluminum alloy, and can resist scratches and wear for a long time, maintaining the integrity of appearance and structure. In addition, steel is not prone to permanent deformation under continuous load, which can ensure that panels and covers are always tightly fitted, avoiding abnormal noise caused by looseness or affecting the overall stability of the forklift.

Although ordinary steel has the risk of rusting, modern electric forklifts usually use processes such as galvanized steel plates or spray anti-rust paint to greatly improve their corrosion resistance. This allows the forklift to adapt to wet, dusty and even chemical working environments, such as cold storage, food processing plants or ports, ensuring long-term use without rust and corrosion.

If the steel panel is partially dented or damaged due to accidental impact, it can be quickly repaired by sheet metal repair or welding without having to replace the entire part, which greatly reduces maintenance costs. In contrast, once a plastic part is damaged, the entire part often needs to be replaced, which has higher repair costs. In addition, the surface of steel is smooth and easy to clean. It can be washed with a high-pressure water gun or industrial detergent, which is very suitable for industries with high hygiene requirements, such as logistics, medicine and food processing.

Steel has natural flame retardancy and is less likely to burn than plastic, which can reduce the risk of fire in electrical short circuits or high temperature environments. At the same time, the heavy characteristics of the steel structure can absorb some vibration and noise, improve operating comfort, and reduce the impact of long-term use on the driver.

Although steel is heavier than plastic, it has better impact resistance and durability, especially suitable for high-load and high-frequency use scenarios. Although aluminum alloy is light and corrosion-resistant, it is more expensive and has weak impact resistance, so it is not suitable for heavy-duty applications. Steel offers the best balance between cost, protection and durability, making it an ideal choice for heavy-duty electric forklifts.
