Nowadays, lithium forklifts have been widely applied in various logistics, manufacturing and warehousing scenarios, bringing more stable operation experience and lower daily operation cost compared with traditional internal combustion equipment. Many practitioners will encounter information asymmetry problems when selecting suitable lithium forklifts for their operation teams, so sorting out core questions to confirm in advance can effectively avoid inappropriate selection that may affect normal production scheduling.

The first question you need to confirm is whether the actual continuous working duration of the equipment can match the load and operation intensity of your specific scenario. You can not only refer to the nominal parameter on the product brochure, but also combine the data of your existing daily operation hours, shift arrangement and average carrying weight to verify the actual performance of the equipment. The second question focuses on the total cost of ownership in the whole service cycle of the equipment, which covers the electricity consumption of each cycle, routine maintenance cost and battery attenuation related cost, not just the initial purchase cost. The third question is to confirm whether the fast charging function of the equipment can match the existing power supply condition of your site, so as to avoid extra cost on circuit transformation later. The fourth question is to learn about the environmental adaptability of the lithium forklift, to confirm whether it can work stably under your special working conditions such as low temperature cold storage or high dust workshop. The fifth question is to make clear the daily regular maintenance items, so that you can arrange corresponding staff to finish the check work on time without extra burden for the operation team. The sixth question is to confirm the after-sales service response cycle, to make sure the technical support team can arrive at the site in proper time when there is sudden equipment fault, which will reduce the downtime loss. The seventh question is to test the operation interface and control logic of the equipment, to make sure your existing operators can get familiar with the operation quickly and reduce unnecessary training cost. The eighth question is to confirm the residual value and recycling policy when the equipment reaches the end of service life, so that you can make a full life cycle budget more reasonably.
