Electric Forklift VS Diesel Forklift? How to choose?

Update time : 2021-09-15 10:01:49

The average annual sales of internal combustion forklifts in China exceeds 200,000. With the continuous improvement of national emission standards and environmental protection requirements, as well as the concern of enterprises and employees on workplace health, the high pollution and high operating costs of diesel forklifts have gradually become the development of enterprises. burden.

In recent years, global forklift manufacturers have made efforts in the field of new energy. Electric forklifts have been continuously improved in terms of equipment performance, battery performance, environmental protection and energy saving. In Europe, America, Japan and other developed countries, the use of electric forklifts has exceeded 60%. In this environment, there is no need to entangle electric forklifts or diesel forklifts. The result is obvious. Let's take a look at the reasons for choosing electric forklifts.

Electric forklifts are more environmentally friendly and healthier According to calculations, the pollutant emission of a normal working internal combustion forklift is 40 times that of a car. The internal combustion engine is one of the main culprits of environmental pollution and its exhaust gas causes great damage to the atmosphere, the environment and human health. Electric forklifts have the advantages of low noise, low vibration and no exhaust gas. The ergonomic design of the vehicle body can reduce the fatigue strength for the forklift driver and bring a more comfortable operating experience.

Electric forklifts have lower energy consumption and lower usage costs
Compared with diesel forklifts, electric forklifts reduce energy consumption costs by nearly 70%. Calculated according to the standard working hours of 8 hours per day: the fuel consumption of a 3 ton internal combustion counterbalanced forklift is about 6000-7000 yuan/month, and the charging electricity cost of the same workload of lithium-ion forklift is only 1400 yuan/month.

Electric forklift lower total cost of ownership

Even though the purchase cost of electric forklifts is higher than that of internal combustion forklifts, the energy cost is much lower than that of internal combustion forklifts that use fuels. The 10-year total cost of ownership of forklifts of the same tonnage is only 50% of diesel forklifts.

Electric forklifts have better handling and higher safety

The continuous innovation of vehicle technology makes the power performance of the new electric forklift not inferior to that of the diesel forklift. With the intelligent vehicle management system, it can set operating parameters including speed reduction and turning ramp handling, automatic parking brake, etc., to comprehensively improve driving safety. The improved handling and maintenance convenience of electric forklifts can better guarantee the attendance rate and handling efficiency of the vehicles.

Technological innovation and intelligent manufacturing

At present, China's electric forklift products have gradually entered the era of new energy products represented by lithium batteries from lead-acid batteries. It is foreseeable that from the innovation of electronic control technology and battery technology to the promotion of global energy saving and emission reduction policies, the upgrade space of electric forklifts will be much larger than that of diesel forklifts.

The Basics of Forklift Tire Maintenance

Mar .01.2024

The tire is the only connection point between the forklift and the road. It not only bears the entire weight of the forklift and the weight of the cargo, but also responds to driving actions such as steering, acceleration and braking, and absorbs the impact of the road on the vehicle. Especially in winter when the ground is slippery, tires are crucial to driving safety and cannot be ignored!
