Efficient thermal management in material handling equipment, particularly forklifts, is essential to ensure optimal performance, safety, and equipment longevity. Forklifts operate in diverse environments—from warehouses to outdoor yards—often under continuous or heavy-duty cycles that generate substantial heat from engines, hydraulic systems, and electronic components. Effective heat exchanger systems such as bar-and-plate or tube-and-fin coolers help regulate temperatures in the engine, transmission, and hydraulic circuits, preventing overheating and reducing downtime. With the rise of electric forklifts, managing thermal loads from battery packs and drive electronics has become equally critical. Compact, durable, and high-efficiency cooling solutions are required to withstand vibration, dust, and frequent load variations, ensuring reliable operation and energy efficiency in demanding material handling applications.
