As an important tool in industrial equipment, electric forklifts are commonly found in warehouses, factories and logistics centers and other places for handling and loading and unloading goods. Although we often see forklifts in these routine occasions, the application scenarios of forklifts are far more extensive and complex than people think. In fact, whether it is in the site, dock, port, or in the field of agriculture and construction, forklifts are playing an irreplaceable role.
The main role of electric forklift trucks in ports and terminals is to load and unload cargo and transport cargo. It can quickly and efficiently remove or load goods from trucks or ships and move them to warehouses or other cargo distribution points. In this way, the electric forklift truck realizes the rapid distribution and storage of goods on the dock, greatly improves the efficiency of logistics and freight, and can also quickly adapt to the complex environment of the port, complete various freight handling tasks, and improve operational efficiency and safety.
Specific application scenarios and advantages include:
Cargo handling: electric forklift trucks can be loaded and unloaded in cabins, carriages and containers to speed up the ship’s turnaround time;
Transport cargo: after the loading and unloading operation is completed, the electric forklift can transport the goods to the warehouse or other destinations, to realize the effective distribution and storage of the goods;
Strong adaptability, improve operation efficiency: electric forklift is suitable for a variety of dock environments, including indoor and outdoor operations, can adapt to different operational needs, but also has excellent starting and braking performance, turning phase is more flexible, can greatly improve the efficiency and speed of freight handling;
Reduce maintenance costs: the maintenance cost of electric forklift is relatively low, reducing operating costs, significantly lower than that of traditional fuel forklift in terms of charging life cost, and the energy consumption cost per hour of operation is about 80% lower than that of traditional fuel forklift;
With other equipment: on the dock, the electric forklift can also coordinate with other equipment, such as cranes, unloaders, etc., to further improve the efficiency and safety of the operation;
Energy environmental protection, reduce pollution: the electric forklift uses electric energy as the power source, compared with the traditional internal combustion forklift, reduces exhaust emissions, more environmental protection, it is also powered by clean electric energy, the whole operation to achieve “zero” exhaust gas emission, reduce the ecological environment pollution of the port.
It is understood that in China’s port group Tangang Port Group New port Bay container 4 new energy forklifts successfully arrived at the port, this is following the new energy front lifting, stackers, the third batch of new energy equipment to the port, the new port container new energy equipment is increasing, has been equipped with new energy front lifting 2 sets, 3 stackers, 4 forklifts. In the future, with the in-depth promotion of green port construction, new energy equipment will gradually become the main force of operation, and inject “green blood” into the construction of “zero carbon port”.
With the technological innovation, the progress of battery technology and intelligent technology, the endurance capacity and automation level of electric forklift trucks continue to improve, and the application of in docks and ports has been more and more extensive, and has become an indispensable equipment in handling operations.
The application of electric forklift trucks in ports and freight is not only in line with the development trend of green and low-carbon, but also can significantly improve operational efficiency and reduce costs, and is one of the important equipment of port modernization.
