To address the shortcomings of electric forklifts, a systematic solution can be proposed based on core issues such as battery performance, charging efficiency, environmental adaptability, maintenance costs, and operational safety, combined with technological improvements, management optimization, and operational standards. The specific solutions are as follows:

1、 Optimization of battery performance and lifespan

root cause

The limited battery capacity leads to short battery life, and frequent charging affects efficiency.

The battery life deteriorates quickly and maintenance costs are high (such as BYD forklifts requiring regular battery replacement).

Solution

Technological upgrade: Adopting high-energy density lithium batteries (such as those developed by Shandong Hanyue Group) to extend the single charge range.

Intelligent management: Introducing a Battery Management System (BMS) to monitor battery level, temperature, and health status in real-time, optimize charging and discharging strategies, and slow down capacity degradation.

Maintenance strategy: Regularly check the internal resistance and voltage of the battery, replenish electrolyte (lead-acid battery) or balance charging (lithium battery) in a timely manner, and avoid overcharging/overdischarging.

2、 Improved charging efficiency

root cause

The charging time is several hours long and cannot meet emergency needs.

Solution

Application of fast charging technology: Promote high-power fast charging technology (such as charging to 80% in 30 minutes) to shorten downtime.

Layout of charging facilities: Install charging stations in warehouses and logistics centers, use shift breaks to replenish electricity, and reduce interference with work processes.

Exploration of wireless charging: Pilot electromagnetic induction or magnetic resonance wireless charging technology to improve charging convenience.

3、 Enhanced environmental adaptability

root cause

Extreme temperatures (such as -30 ℃ cold zone or 50 ℃ high temperature zone) affect battery efficiency and hydraulic system performance.

Solution

Thermal management system integration: Install liquid cooling/heating devices for batteries and motors to maintain optimal operating temperatures (such as the heat pump technology used in Tesla forklifts).

Material improvement: Use low-temperature resistant electrolyte (lithium-ion battery) or high-temperature lubricating grease (hydraulic system) to enhance component stability.

Sealing design optimization: Strengthen the waterproof and dustproof rating of the electrical cabin (such as IP67) to adapt to humid or dusty environments.

4、 Reduced maintenance costs

root cause

Frequent maintenance is caused by hydraulic system oil leakage, chain wear, electrical faults, etc.

Solution

Preventive maintenance:

Check the hydraulic oil level, chain tightness, and tire pressure daily.

Clean the radiator and filter weekly to prevent blockages.

Check the thickness of brake pads and the wear of roller bearings every month, and replace vulnerable parts in advance.

Modular design: using standardized components (such as quickly replaceable motor modules) to shorten maintenance time.

Remote diagnosis system: Real time uploading of fault codes through the Internet of Things (IoT) to guide maintenance personnel in accurately locating problems.

5、 Enhanced operational safety

root cause

Accidents caused by insufficient operator skills and illegal operations (such as speeding and mixed loading of people and goods).

Solution

Complete training system:

Theoretical courses: covering knowledge such as forklift structure, load calculation, emergency response, etc.

Practical training: Practice turning, braking, and stacking goods in simulated scenarios, and improve training efficiency through VR technology.

Security Assistance System:

Install overspeed alarm, anti rollover device, and pedestrian detection radar to reduce the risk of accidents.

Enforce the use of seat belts and speed limiters, and restrict unauthorized personnel from operating through permission management.

Cultural shaping: Establish a safety points system, reward accident free operators, and strengthen safety awareness.

6、 Initial investment cost allocation

root cause

The purchase price of electric forklifts is higher than that of internal combustion forklifts, which hinders the procurement of small and medium-sized enterprises.

Solution

Leasing model promotion: Provide short-term/long-term leasing services to reduce the financial pressure on enterprises in the early stage.

Government subsidy application: Utilize energy-saving and emission reduction subsidy policies (such as a 30% subsidy for the purchase cost of electric forklifts in some regions) to reduce expenses.

Full life cycle cost comparison: Show enterprises the long-term advantages of electric forklifts in energy consumption, maintenance, and residual value, and guide investment decisions.
