Regular standard maintenance is the core premise to keep BYD electric forklift in good running condition, reduce unplanned downtime and extend the whole service cycle. As the team focusing on BYD electric forklift services, Jianxin New Energy sorts out the most practical maintenance basics for all equipment operators and warehouse managers for reference.

The first part covers pre-shift daily inspection, which is the most basic and necessary maintenance step to finish before each operation. Operators need to check the outer shell of the whole vehicle for obvious collision damage first, then check the wear degree of solid tires, confirm no foreign matters are wrapped on the tire surface, then check the cleaning state of charging port, make sure there is no dust or water stain left in the port. After that, operators need to test the flexibility of steering system and brake system at low speed, check whether there is oil leakage at each connection part of the hydraulic lifting system, and confirm the accuracy of the lifting limit sensor. All hidden risks found in the pre-shift check shall be disposed of before formal operation, no overloaded operation with hidden risks is allowed.

The second part is weekly routine maintenance work. On the basis of completing the daily inspection, the maintenance personnel need to check the outer surface of the whole power battery pack, confirm no bulge or damage on the shell, check the tightness of each electrode connection point, wipe off the tiny oxide layer on the surface of the connection points with dry clean cloth gently. Then check the tightness of the driving chain of the fork, adjust the tension degree to the standard range if the chain appears loose, check the fastening bolts of the counterweight and gantry frame, tighten any loose bolts properly, and clean the dust accumulated on the surface of the heat dissipation window of the vehicle.

The third part is monthly deep inspection and maintenance. Professional maintenance personnel need to check the outer surface of all wiring harness inside the vehicle, confirm no cracking or aging wear of the harness insulating layer, check the remaining thickness of the brake pad, replace the parts when the wear degree reaches the warning line. Then test the sensitivity of each button and display data on the operation panel, replenish the hydraulic oil to the specified liquid level as required, and check the lubrication state of each rotating bearing position, add proper amount of special lubricating grease to reduce friction loss.

For the vehicles that need to be stored for a long time, it is required to keep the battery power at 40% to 60% of the full capacity, place the vehicle in a dry, ventilated and cool indoor storage area, avoid long term direct sunlight and rain soaking. It is necessary to carry out a balanced charging for the battery every month, and start the vehicle to run for 5 to 10 minutes at low speed to keep all parts in good active state.

Standardized maintenance operation can effectively reduce the occurrence of sudden faults, create more stable operation value for logistics handling work.
