When enterprises plan to deploy new energy electric forklifts to replace traditional internal combustion forklifts, facility modification is often an easily overlooked but highly critical link that directly affects subsequent operation efficiency and equipment safety.

The first core point of facility modification is the adjustment of operation passages and working space. Different from internal combustion forklifts, new energy electric forklifts have unique requirements on reserved safety distance during operation. It is recommended to refer to the specific parameters including rated load, turning radius and maximum lifting height of the selected electric forklift, to adjust the spacing between racks, remove redundant protrusions in the passage, and set standardized anti-collision markings on both sides of the passage. Such small adjustments can effectively reduce the risk of equipment scratching, and improve the average passing efficiency of the whole warehouse.

The second key module is the standardized transformation of the charging area. The charging area should be set in an independent zone with good ventilation, far away from flammable and explosive goods storage areas. The ground of the charging zone should be treated with anti-slip and wear-resistant process, enough space for equipment moving, operation and routine maintenance should be reserved, and the power supply lines, overload protection devices should be configured strictly in accordance with local power safety specifications. It is not allowed to set charging points casually in ordinary cargo storage areas, which will greatly reduce hidden safety risks in daily operation.
For special operation scenarios such as low-temperature cold storage and open-air yards, targeted facility modification is also necessary. For cold storage scenarios, you can add appropriate temperature control protection devices around the charging points to ensure the electric forklift can operate stably at low ambient temperature. For open-air yards, it is recommended to do a good job of drainage and anti-skid treatment on the operation site, and set up rainproof facilities for the fixed charging area.
We are Jianshu New Energy, focusing on BYD electric forklifts. We have rich practical experience in scenario adaptation, and can provide professional reference suggestions for your facility modification work. If you have relevant demands, you can send an email to [email protected] for consultation. After completing all the modification work, it is suggested to arrange a period of trial operation to check and adjust the unreasonable links, to ensure that the electric forklift can give full play to its advantages of low operating cost, zero emission and stable performance in the daily operation process.
