Why is the design of daily forklifts changing day by day

The design of forklifts is changing day by day because human sizes are changing and the actual requirements are increasingly different. Over the past few decades, people get bigger and bigger, especially in height, which directly affects forklift operators.

As the operator size changes, the forklift truck design also needs to be tailored.

Size matters in forklift design
Forty years ago, the average shoe size was two sizes smaller than it is today, before the size 12 or 13/46 or 47 would have been unusual, they are now on the shelves of most shoe stores. .

That is just one example, but one example of change.

People are getting bigger and bigger, and they are a direct cause to be considered when designing and manufacturing forklifts.

If people are evolving, then the workspace has to grow around them.

But what does that mean for a forklift?

The change comes from the aviation industry
You think designers will only calculate a new "average" ... but that simply doesn't work.

When the US Army designed the first standardized aircraft cockpit in 1926, it was based on the average measurements of male pilots (height, weight, arm length, etc.).

But the strong impact is that they need to choose the most suitable pilots with the 'medium level' accuracy.

Fast-forward to WWII and the same cockpit plan is still in use.

However, with many pilots being recruited, a large number of deaths occurred during training because of the limited size of the cockpit that hindered the ability of many pilots to fly. .

Post-war research shows that less than 5% of pilots equip the 'average' level on only a third of the 10 dimensions used.

As a result, the US Air Force (as before) has begun to design seats, pedals, and so on. can be adjusted, thereby improving pilot performance significantly.

It is also the first step for more adaptive changes on forklifts.

Are you really comfortable?
Adequate benefits in a work environment - be it a fighter, forklift or desk - are always evident.

A 1990 study of test subjects working in an ergonomically optimized setting found a 17.5% increase in productivity compared to those working in inferior environments.

A similar study in 2003 found that highly adjustable and properly trained chairs increased productivity by 17.7%.
