Applicable plan and implementation plan for electric forklifts

As the core equipment of modern warehousing and logistics, the application plan of electric forklifts needs to cover multiple dimensions such as procurement, maintenance, energy management, safety training, and technological upgrades. The following is a detailed classification and implementation plan:

1、 Procurement and Financing Plan

1. Direct purchase

Applicable scenarios: Long term usage needs, with high initial investment but low long-term costs.

Implementation plan:

Choose reliable suppliers (such as Shandong Hercules Machinery Company) and select models (CPD10-D to CPD30-D) based on load requirements (1T-5T).

Configure lead-acid or lithium batteries, with lithium batteries suitable for high-intensity operations (such as BYD's iron phosphate batteries, which come with a 10-year warranty).

Budget range: 7000-9000 per unit (basic model), with a cost increase of approximately 20% for lithium battery models.

2. Leasing

Applicable scenarios: Short term or flexible use to avoid high initial costs.

Implementation plan:

Collaborate with a leasing company and choose a package that includes maintenance services.

Flexible lease terms (daily, monthly, annual), suitable for seasonal needs or enterprises with limited budgets.

3. Financial leasing

Applicable scenarios: Balancing cash flow and installment payment of equipment costs.

Implementation plan:

Cooperate with manufacturers or financial institutions (such as BYD providing financing solutions) to repay equipment costs in installments.

Clear ownership transfer clauses are included in the contract to ensure long-term use rights.

2、 Maintenance and upkeep plan

1. Regular maintenance

Frequency: Every 200-250 hours or every six weeks.

Content:

Daily inspection: tire wear, battery connection, hydraulic oil level, safety devices (such as crash bars, seat sensors).

Deep maintenance: replace worn parts (such as carbon brushes and filters), clean equipment, test braking and steering systems.

Record management: Use CMMS (Computerized Maintenance Management System) to track maintenance history and predict potential failures.

2. Preventive maintenance

Goal: Reduce unexpected shutdowns and extend equipment lifespan.

measures:

Battery management: Monitor voltage and temperature through BMS (Battery Management System) to optimize charging cycles.

Software update: Regularly upgrade the forklift control system, fix vulnerabilities, and improve performance.

3. Special maintenance for batteries

Lead acid batteries: regularly add water, evenly charge, and avoid sulfurization.

Lithium battery: No need to add water, but SOC (state of charge) and SOH (state of health) need to be monitored to avoid overcharging/overdischarging.

3、 Charging and Energy Plan

1. Wireless charging system

Solution: Adopting Delta's 30kW wireless charging system with an efficiency of 95%.

Advantages: Automatic docking, reducing connector wear, supporting AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) and unmanned forklifts.

2. Fast charging

Solution: BYD's iron phosphate batteries support fast charging (80% charge in 1 hour).

Applicable scenarios: Multiple shift operations, no need to replace batteries, improve operational efficiency.

3. Energy monitoring and optimization

measures:

Integrate into WMS (Warehouse Management System) to monitor energy consumption in real-time.

Optimize charging time (such as charging during low electricity prices at night) to reduce electricity costs.

Energy recovery: Utilizing regenerative braking technology to convert kinetic energy into electrical energy for storage.

4、 Safety and Training Plan

1. Operator training

Content:

Safety operating procedures (load handling, speed control, pedestrian safety).

Emergency response (use of emergency stop button, accident reporting process).

Frequency: Initial training+refresher training every three years (OSHA standard).

2. Security equipment upgrade

measures:

Install anti-collision strips, seat sensors, reverse alarm, and LED work lights.

BYD forklifts are equipped with advanced BMS, which supports overheating protection and short circuit protection.

3. Environmental safety

measures:

Standardize the battery recycling process (lead-acid batteries require professional recycling).

Regularly check the ventilation of the charging area to avoid hydrogen accumulation (generated during lead-acid battery charging).

5、 Technical Upgrade and Transformation Plan

1. Battery upgrade

Solution: Switch from lead-acid batteries to lithium batteries to improve energy density and lifespan.

Cost: Lithium batteries have high initial costs, but low maintenance costs, making them suitable for high-intensity use.

2. Automation integration

Solution: Combining AGV technology to achieve unmanned forklifts.

Support system: Delta's wireless charging system supports automated operations and reduces manual intervention.

3. Software upgrade

measures:

Update the forklift control system software and optimize communication efficiency (such as upgrading the CAN bus).

Integrate Internet of Things (IoT) sensors to monitor device status in real-time.

6、 Environmental and Sustainability Plan

1. Carbon neutrality target

measures:

Fully electrified, replacing diesel forklifts and reducing carbon emissions.

Use renewable energy sources (such as solar energy) to power charging stations.

2. Energy recovery

Solution: Through regenerative braking technology, kinetic energy is converted into electrical energy storage to improve energy efficiency.

3. Waste management

measures:

Standardize the battery recycling process to ensure environmentally friendly disposal.

Promote biodegradable packaging materials to reduce storage waste.
