Cold chain warehousing practitioners share: BYD cold storage forklift experience summary

Cold chain warehousing operations are constantly operating in a low temperature and high humidity environment, and the performance requirements for handling equipment are much higher than those for ordinary warehousing scenarios. Many practitioners have recently replaced electric cold storage forklifts. We have collated the actual use feedback of more than ten first-line warehouse managers and forklift operators to summarize the actual use experience of this forklift.

Low temperature resistance performance

Housing and component compatibility

Most practitioners have reported that this forklift has excellent sealing performance, operating continuously for more than 4 hours in a conventional cold storage at minus 18 degrees Celsius, without any key failures or circuit short circuits. The body metal parts have also been specially protected, and there is no problem of condensation and rust in long-term use. It is fully suitable for the operation requirements of conventional cold chain storage.

Battery life and charging efficiency

According to multiple warehouse managers, this forklift can operate continuously in the cold storage for 6 to 8 hours at full power, fully meeting the needs of single-shift operations. It can be charged to 80% in 1.5 hours in fast charging mode, and charging with staggered peaks during rest intervals will hardly affect the rhythm of daily operations. Compared with the previously used fuel forklifts, the cost of use is reduced by nearly 60%.

Operation and maintenance costs

Ease of operation

Front-line operators generally report that this forklift has flexible steering, reasonable weight, and smooth turnaround and handling of goods in the narrow shelf passage of the cold storage. The shock absorption design of the body is also more reasonable, and there will be no obvious fatigue after long-term operation. The operating threshold is low, and new employees can be hired independently after about 3 days of training.

Daily maintenance difficulty

The warehouse operation and maintenance personnel reported that this forklift's wearing parts are easy to replace, and there is no complicated maintenance process. As long as the circuit inspection and component lubrication are done regularly, there has been no core component failure since it was put into use for half a year, and the overall maintenance cost is nearly 40% lower than that of the traditional forklift used before.

Overall, the comprehensive performance of this electric cold storage forklift meets the operating requirements of most cold chain warehouses, and is suitable for warehousing enterprises with low-temperature handling needs to refer to when selecting equipment.
