Many enterprises operating warehouse and industrial logistics scenarios plan to upgrade their existing material handling equipment to adapt to new operation requirements, but hold various doubts about the retrofitting process, effect and compliance. As a professional service provider focusing on new energy industrial handling equipment, Jianshu New Energy, which devotes itself to providing high-quality services for BYD electric forklifts, sorts out the most frequently asked questions and gives clear answers below.

The first common question is what tangible benefits can standard material handling equipment retrofits bring to daily operations. Compared with purchasing brand new equipment, qualified retrofits can make full use of the remaining service life of the original stable mechanical structure of existing devices, so as to reduce the total investment cost of equipment upgrade by a large margin. Proper retrofit solutions can also extend the available service period of old equipment, add custom functions that match new operation flows, effectively reduce long-term maintenance cost, and lower overall carbon emission of the whole logistics operation link.

The second widely concerned question is whether the retrofitted equipment can meet local industrial safety operation regulations. All formal retrofitting projects will carry out full structure load verification before construction, strictly follow the industrial equipment safety standards to select accessories and arrange modification procedures, and complete multi-round no-load and rated load test after the whole project is finished. Retrofitted equipment that passes all tests can fully meet the safety compliance requirements of daily industrial operations.

The third common question is whether conventional internal combustion material handling equipment can be retrofitted to battery-powered electric type. Most eligible existing equipment can complete the power system switching retrofit, by replacing the matched battery pack, driving motor and electric control system, while retaining the original mature mechanical transmission and bearing structure. After the retrofit, the equipment will run with lower noise, produce no exhaust emission, and be more suitable for indoor closed warehouse operation scenarios.
