For most lumber warehouses carrying out medium-heavy-duty indoor handling operations, the daily tasks usually include transporting stacked solid wood planks, pre-processed wood strips, packaged semi-finished wood products and other materials, with the single handling weight ranging from 2 tons to 5 tons. The enclosed indoor space puts forward strict requirements for the emissions of handling equipment, and the frequent multi-shift operation rhythm also puts forward higher standards for the continuous operation ability of equipment.

Lithium-ion forklifts can well adapt to the above scenario demands as a suitable handling equipment option. First, the zero-emission operation feature avoids exhaust pollution in the enclosed indoor space, which will not cause oil fume or harmful gas attachment to the unprocessed wood materials stored in the warehouse, no additional ventilation transformation for exhaust discharge is needed, which effectively reduces the renovation cost of the warehouse site. The stable power output performance ensures consistent lifting and traveling capacity even under long-time continuous heavy load state, which can smoothly pass through the narrow access aisles between dense material racks and the slight slope of the loading and unloading area, and the low-center-of-gravity body design further improves the operation safety when transporting heavy stacked wood piles.

In terms of daily operation and maintenance, lithium-ion forklifts support fast charging and opportunity charging, which can complete effective energy replenishment during the short break of staff shifts, no need to reserve a large independent special charging room, and there is no complicated daily maintenance work such as water replenishment and electrolyte replacement. No corrosive waste liquid will be generated during the whole operation process, which is more in line with the fire safety management requirements of lumber warehouses that store a large number of flammable wood products. For lumber warehouse managers, they can select lithium-ion forklifts with corresponding parameters according to their actual daily handling volume, average working channel width and single maximum handling weight, and arrange regular routine inspection of the hydraulic parts and tire surfaces of the equipment to adapt to the working environment where a small amount of sawdust falls on the ground, which can help the whole indoor handling process run stably for a long time and reduce the comprehensive operation cost.
