Efficient Forklift Operation: Master the Power Meter

Today I want to share with you some knowledge about the power meter in forklift accessories. We all know that the power of a forklift is crucial to work efficiency. The power meter is one of our tools to understand the power status of a forklift. Let's explore it together!

The power meter is mainly used to display the power status of the forklift battery, so that the operator can grasp the remaining power of the battery in time, so as to arrange the work tasks and charging plans reasonably. They usually display the battery power in digital or pointer form, so that you can see it at a glance. With the power meter, you can avoid the inconvenience and delay caused by insufficient power at work and improve work efficiency! Forklift power meters are widely used in imported and domestic electric forklifts. Its main function is to be installed on the dashboard of the forklift to display whether the forklift battery is fully charged and discharged to a certain standard to check the battery capacity of the vehicle and display the remaining power of the forklift battery for the number of working hours of the forklift.

Function of the power meter

01 It has a power-off memory function and a false charging recognition function.

02 It has a LED delay up or down function, which can filter the instantaneous voltage fluctuations during the charging and discharging process of the forklift battery, and can accurately indicate the storage capacity of the forklift battery.

03 It has a zero reset function after the circuit is opened, and can intelligently identify the battery after replacement or full charge, and has an automatic reset function after the circuit is opened.

04 It has low voltage protection function, and can flash the light to issue a "power reserve" warning when the battery voltage is too low. When the battery discharge reaches 70%, the double flash lights flash to issue a "power exhaustion" alarm, and through the use of the internal relay of the power meter, some electrical appliances can be disconnected, with a short-term voltage drop recognition function and a fake charging function design to ensure the safe operation of the circuit.

05 Most of the forklift's power meter has a ten-segment red LED display battery power function, which tracks the working voltage and hours of the forklift battery in real time. When the forklift battery discharge is less than or equal to 30%, the forklift power meter light will flash to remind the forklift driver to stop a specific operating function of the vehicle to avoid deep discharge;

06 The installation working voltage of the forklift power meter is basically within DC12V-DC80V.

07 The working temperature is within 40℃ to +80℃, the working humidity is: 10%~95%, and the storage temperature is: -40℃~85℃.

Types of power meters

01 Traditional power meters

Traditional power meters are one of the most common types in the forklift industry. They usually use simple pointers or numbers to display the battery power, which is simple and intuitive. Although this type of power meter does not have high-tech functions, they are stable and reliable and can meet basic usage needs. If you prefer tradition and stability, then the traditional power meter will never let you down!

02 Digital power meter

With the continuous advancement of technology, digital power meters have become the new favorite of forklift power management. This power meter uses an LCD display to intuitively display information such as the remaining battery power, charging status, and estimated usage time. Some digital power meters are even equipped with intelligent warning functions to remind you to charge or maintain in time, greatly improving work efficiency. If you pursue information at a glance, digital power meters are definitely your best choice!

03 Intelligent power meter

In the era of intelligent logistics, intelligent power meters are gradually becoming the industry standard. This power meter not only has the functions of a digital power meter, but also integrates artificial intelligence and Internet of Things technologies to achieve advanced functions such as remote monitoring, data analysis, and predictive maintenance. With the smart power meter, you can monitor the battery status of your forklift in real time, optimize the charging plan, and improve the efficiency of logistics operations. If you are eager to join the ranks of smart logistics, the smart power meter can definitely help you!

Things to note when purchasing a power meter

When choosing a power meter, in addition to considering the display type, you should also pay attention to the voltage of the power meter, and pay attention to its accuracy, durability and adaptability.

Make sure to purchase a power meter with high accuracy, strong durability and adapted to the forklift to better meet work needs and improve work efficiency.

I hope that through today's sharing, you have a deeper understanding of the power meter in forklift accessories! Remember to pay attention to the status of the power meter at any time during work to ensure that the forklift has sufficient power and the work goes smoothly!
