Forklift trucks are vehicles designed to lift and transport loads of considerable entity. As vehicles are used in a variety of conditions, the design of both chassis and safety structures requires considering dynamic loads. When the truck crosses an obstacle, brakes suddenly, or performs an emergency maneuver, the inertial effects greatly amplify the internal forces affecting the structures. The Multi-body simulation offers an efficient support to virtually analyze these conditions, anticipating the criticalities that would otherwise emerge only in the final testing of the truck. This translates into both time and cost saving, as there is no need of adjustments at the end of the design process.
