Large-volume tyre warehouses usually face high-frequency goods turnover demands, with typical characteristics such as large single-item cargo volume, high stacking requirements, dense operation routes and long continuous operation hours. Traditional internal combustion handling equipment often produces exhaust emission, high operation noise and high fuel consumption, which cannot fully adapt to the closed indoor operation environment of tyre warehouses, and may bring extra hidden dangers to on-site operators and stored tyre products.

As a common logistics handling equipment, electric counterbalance forklift shows good adaptability in this type of scenario. The counterweight structure at the rear of the equipment can provide enough supporting force when lifting and stacking tyres of different specifications, effectively guarantee the operation stability when the fork takes goods, and can meet the stacking demands of different heights in the conventional storage area of the tyre warehouse. The full electric driving mode eliminates exhaust emission during the whole operation process, will not cause adverse impact on the storage environment of rubber tyre products, and the low-noise operation feature can also adapt to the demand of continuous shift work in non-full closed warehouse areas without disturbing surrounding staff.

For high turnover tyre warehouse sites, reasonable configuration and operation adjustment of electric counterbalance forklifts can further release its application value. Operation teams can match corresponding auxiliary fixtures according to the outer diameter and weight of different batches of tyres, to avoid the risk of cargo slipping during handling. It is also feasible to make scientific charging scheduling according to the peak and trough rules of daily goods inbound and outbound, to ensure that the equipment can maintain sufficient power supply in the peak turnover period, and avoid unexpected shutdown that affects the operation rhythm. The relatively simple daily maintenance work of electric counterbalance forklifts can also reduce the waiting time for equipment maintenance, effectively extend the effective working time of single unit.

In actual operation, properly applying electric counterbalance forklifts in high throughput tyre warehouse sites can help the site obtain steady improvement in handling efficiency, reduce long-term comprehensive operation cost, and fit the development trend of green and low-carbon logistics operation of modern warehousing industry.
