Nowadays, more and more material handling scenarios including warehouses, manufacturing workshops, port cargo yards and retail distribution centers choose to use electric forklifts to meet low-carbon, low-noise and high-efficiency operation demands. When you plan to select a suitable BYD electric forklift that fits your actual business needs, there are several core dimensions you can refer to for comprehensive evaluation, to avoid improper selection that may cause extra cost or fail to meet daily operation requirements.

First of all, you need to confirm the parameter matching degree with your actual operation scenarios. Before checking specific product lines, you can sort out your daily operation data clearly, including the maximum weight of goods to be handled regularly, the minimum width of operation passages in the working area, the maximum lifting height required for goods stacking, and whether the equipment needs to move between indoor and outdoor sites frequently. These basic data can help you lock the appropriate product specification range quickly, avoid excessive configuration that brings unnecessary cost waste, or insufficient parameter that can not support normal daily work.

Secondly, it is advisable to pay attention to the power and performance related indicators. You can confirm the continuous working duration under full load status of the forklift, see if it can match the length of your single work shift. You can also learn about the fast charging performance of the equipment, check if it can get enough power supplement during the short rest gap between shifts, to support continuous multi-shift operation demand. In addition, you can verify whether the existing charging facilities in your site can adapt to the equipment’s charging specifications, to reduce extra transformation work after the equipment is delivered.

Thirdly, you are suggested to check the operation comfort and safety configuration of the equipment. Operators usually spend several hours on the forklift every working day, the ergonomic designed control lever, adjustable seat and wide unobstructed view of the mast can effectively reduce the fatigue level of long-time operation. Complete safety configurations including speed limit function, emergency power off device, anti-slip function on ramps and goods falling protection mechanism can effectively reduce potential operation risks, and create a safer working environment for frontline staff.

Last but not least, the supporting service system from the supplier is also a non-negligible factor. A regular supplier with sound service system can provide regular on-site maintenance service, sufficient original spare parts reserve and fast fault response mechanism, which can effectively guarantee the long-term attendance rate of the equipment, and reduce the comprehensive using cost in the whole life cycle.
