The paper discusses the issue of testing the energy consumption of forklift trucks versus its movement parameters, such as radius of curve, distance, speed of movement on curve due to cargo safety, braking delay due to cargo slipping off the forks or tipping over. A comparative analysis of forklift truck operation characteristics in predefined work cycles: VDI cycle and "semi-trailer loading cycle" was presented; indicators characterizing the energy consumption of the truck were developed, the analysis of results was presented and final conclusions were elaborated.
