按照(zhao)动力方式来分(fen)类，叉(cha)车(che)可以分(fen)为内燃(ran)叉(cha)车(che)和(he)电(dian)动叉(cha)车(che)。

电(dian)(dian)动(dong)(dong)叉车(che)利用(yong)叉车(che)蓄电(dian)(dian)池作为动(dong)(dong)力源(yuan)，使用(yong)时无尾气排放(fang)，低噪声(sheng)，操作方便而(er)灵(ling)巧，运(yun)行平稳(wen)。是由(you)于电(dian)(dian)动(dong)(dong)叉车(che)具有(you)上(shang)述特点，国内外用(yong)户对电(dian)(dian)动(dong)(dong)叉车(che)的(de)需求量不断增加，电(dian)(dian)动(dong)(dong)叉车(che)在整个叉车(che)销量中所占比例稳(wen)步上(shang)升。

电(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)动(dong)(dong)(dong)叉车(che)是利用(yong)叉车(che)蓄(xu)电(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)池向叉车(che)提供(gong)电(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)源(yuan)，由电(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)机(ji)(ji)(ji)(ji)(ji)将电(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)能转(zhuan)换为机(ji)(ji)(ji)(ji)(ji)械能。电(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)动(dong)(dong)(dong)叉车(che)一般(ban)有三(san)个电(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)动(dong)(dong)(dong)机(ji)(ji)(ji)(ji)(ji)：行走电(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)动(dong)(dong)(dong)机(ji)(ji)(ji)(ji)(ji)、起(qi)升(sheng)(sheng)(sheng)(sheng)电(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)动(dong)(dong)(dong)机(ji)(ji)(ji)(ji)(ji)及转(zhuan)向电(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)动(dong)(dong)(dong)机(ji)(ji)(ji)(ji)(ji)。行走电(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)动(dong)(dong)(dong)机(ji)(ji)(ji)(ji)(ji)驱动(dong)(dong)(dong)传动(dong)(dong)(dong)系(xi)(xi)统最(zui)终向车(che)轮提供(gong)驱动(dong)(dong)(dong)力(li)矩(ju)，起(qi)升(sheng)(sheng)(sheng)(sheng)电(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)动(dong)(dong)(dong)机(ji)(ji)(ji)(ji)(ji)直接带(dai)动(dong)(dong)(dong)起(qi)升(sheng)(sheng)(sheng)(sheng)系(xi)(xi)统液压泵，驱动(dong)(dong)(dong)起(qi)升(sheng)(sheng)(sheng)(sheng)液压系(xi)(xi)统。转(zhuan)向电(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)动(dong)(dong)(dong)机(ji)(ji)(ji)(ji)(ji)则在(zai)全液压转(zhuan)向的电(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)动(dong)(dong)(dong)叉车(che)中，用(yong)来(lai)驱动(dong)(dong)(dong)转(zhuan)向泵。

随着液(ye)压(ya)系(xi)统(tong)的(de)改进，在(zai)高配置的(de)电动(dong)叉车(che)中，常(chang)常(chang)采用单泵分流起升调速的(de)液(ye)压(ya)系(xi)统(tong)、将起升电动(dong)机(ji)与(yu)转向电动(dong)机(ji)合二为一(yi)，采用带优先阀的(de)负荷传感全液(ye)压(ya)转向器，优先供给转向用液(ye)压(ya)油(you)，其余液(ye)压(ya)油(you)供给起升系(xi)统(tong)。

电动叉(cha)车(che)(che)由于具有(you)无(wu)污染、低噪音(yin)等显著(zhu)优点、随着近年(nian)来全社会环(huan)保意识(shi)的增(zeng)强(qiang)，电动叉(cha)车(che)(che)技术也得到了(le)飞(fei)快的发展，产销量(liang)呈逐年(nian)上(shang)升趋势。
