Researchers modeled a forklift in Mat-Lab to calculate its fuel consumption during the design phase.
The study aimed to determine the fuel consumption of a forklift truck using a specific drive system and target weight. To achieve this, the researchers modeled the forklift in Mat-Lab, including all its sub-systems, and ran a cycle according to VDI 2198. The goal is to provide a fuel consumption estimate during the design phase of the forklift truck.
Abstract
At the very beginning of the design phase of a forklift truck, it must be determined which drive systems will be used. Then, with these drive systems and the target weight, it must be calculated how many litres of fuel the truck burns according to VDI 2198. In this study, a forklift truck will be modelled in Mat-Lab environment with all its sub-systems and run in a cycle in accordance with VDI 2198. One of the biggest outputs of this study will be to know the fuel consumption of this forklift during the forklift design phase.
