1. Cost advantage
It has always been a controversial topic between electric forklifts and diesel forklifts. Compared with diesel forklifts, electric forklifts have a higher one-time purchase cost than diesel forklifts, but the use cost of electric forklifts is lower than that of diesel forklifts.
Let's take a comparison between a 2-ton electric forklift and a 2-ton diesel forklift as an example:
2 ton electric forklift, 48V, 450A, when the battery discharge rate is 80%, the electricity required for charging is 23 kWh. It is calculated as 20 days of work per month. If each kWh of electricity is calculated at 1 yuan, the monthly electricity bill is 460 yuan . The 2-ton diesel forklift consumes about 3.27 liters of diesel per hour, 8 hours a day, 26.16 liters a day, 20 days a month, 5 yuan per liter of diesel, and a monthly fuel consumption cost of 2,616 yuan. Compared with the two, an electric forklift can save 25,872 yuan a year.
2. Easy to operate, high working efficiency
The operation and control of the electric forklift is simple, and its steering, acceleration, hydraulic pressure, braking, etc. are controlled by electrical signals. Compared with the operation of the diesel forklift, the labor intensity of the forklift driver is greatly reduced, so that the forklift driver can concentrate more on the operation. The efficiency of operations, for enterprises, is the reduction of labor costs.
3. Low noise, no pollution
Electric forklifts are powered by batteries and operate with minimal noise. For the forklift driver and the employees next to them, the working environment is quiet and helps them work better. At the same time, electric forklifts have no exhaust gas, do not pollute the environment, and will not affect the physical and mental health of employees. At the same time, they will not pollute the goods in operation. Therefore, electric forklifts are generally used in places with high environmental requirements such as food, beverages, tobacco, and light textiles.
