When developing a new warehouse operation system, many logistics managers tend to set up functional zones and passages first before matching the material handling equipment, which may lead to wasted performance of the core forklift devices, or extra modification cost for the existing warehouse space. Building a warehouse plan around your BYD electric forklift can help you avoid such mismatches, and achieve more steady and efficient daily operation with lower overall input.

The first step of the planning process is on-site dimension verification. You can refer to the specific operation parameters of your BYD electric forklift, including the minimum turning radius, required safe passage width, and maximum lifting height, to set the width of main and auxiliary passages between storage racks, instead of applying the universal standard for old-style industrial forklifts directly. This adjustment can leave more available space for storage positions within the same total warehouse area, and improve the overall space utilization ratio reasonably.

The second core part is operation route layout. You can divide the whole warehouse into different functional zones according to the common operation track of your electric forklift, and place the dedicated charging and temporary parking area at the idle corner near the main warehouse exit. This arrangement will not take up the core operation routes, and the forklift can return to the charging zone quickly when the battery level is insufficient, without interrupting the normal picking and delivery process.

For the supporting facility part, you can lay clear ground marking and slow down reminder signs at the frequent crossing points for forklifts, and configure proper fire safety facilities that fit the operation features of electric forklifts in the charging zone. There is no need to add extra waste gas treatment system that is required for fuel forklift operation, which will reduce the whole warehouse reconstruction cost effectively.
