High shelf operation in e-commerce warehouse, practical experience of BYD high gantry forklift

As the order density of the e-commerce industry continues to increase, many warehouses choose to build high shelves to increase storage capacity per unit area. This type of scenario places higher demands on the lifting height and operation stability of handling equipment. High-gantry electric forklifts are one of the mainstream equipment suitable for this type of scenario. Here is a practical use dimension to share the operation experience of this type of forklift.

Job adaptation performance

High shelf adaptation effect

The height of the high shelves in most e-commerce warehouses is between 8 and 10 meters. The maximum lifting height of this type of high-rise forklift can fully cover the pick-and-place needs of conventional high-rise shelves. The lifting speed of the door frame is adjusted more smoothly, and the goods will not shake due to the high lifting height. When picking and placing the pallets in the top cargo space, the positioning accuracy is sufficient, and there will be no problem of scratching the shelves. The time for a single trip to pick and place goods is saved by nearly 30% compared with ordinary forklifts.

Narrow channel traffic performance

The high-rise shelf area of an e-commerce warehouse usually has a narrow channel width. The body design of this type of high-rise forklift truck is relatively compact, with a small turning radius. It is not necessary to reserve too wide a working channel, which can further enhance the shelf density of the warehouse. It can also successfully complete the full set of steering and lifting actions in a channel with a width of about 3 meters.

experience details

Operating comfort

This type of forklift's operating handle design is ergonomic, and long-term operation will not cause wrist pain. The driver's vision of the cab has been optimized, allowing the driver to clearly see the position of the fork when lifting goods. There is no need to frequently adjust the posture for observation. The overall operating threshold is not high, and new employees can be hired independently after short-term training.

safety performance

The equipment comes with features such as rollover protection, lifting height speed limit, etc., which can effectively avoid safety hazards during high-level operations. If the goods are overweight or lifting beyond the limit, an early warning will be automatically triggered, reducing the risk of operation from both hardware and software dimensions. It is suitable for the high-frequency and high-intensity operation rhythm of e-commerce warehouses.

Overall, this type of high-gantry forklift is fully capable of meeting the operation requirements of high-end shelves in e-commerce warehouses. It can adapt to the operation requirements of warehousing scenarios in terms of operation efficiency and safety performance. It is one of the options for upgrading equipment in e-commerce warehousing.
