Agricultural facility operation covers multiple scenarios including greenhouse planting base, agricultural material storage, fresh product cold chain warehouse and outdoor agricultural product transfer yard, where stable, low-emission material handling equipment is core to smooth daily operation. Many agricultural operation entities are looking for practical, low-cost operation plans to match their daily logistics demands, and building a targeted facility plan around BYD electric forklift is a cost-effective choice for most small and medium-sized agricultural operation subjects.

The first step of the plan is to complete the scenario demand survey first. The operation team can sort out all daily material handling demands, including the weight of fertilizers, pesticides and other agricultural supplies, the size of fresh product turnover boxes, the width of the passage in the greenhouse and cold storage, the daily average transfer distance, peak hours of operation during harvest season, and then make reasonable deployment of the electric forklift, match proper attachments that adapt to agricultural operation features, avoid redundant equipment investment, and reduce unnecessary idle consumption of power.

The second step is to support the construction of matching supporting facilities. You can arrange the dedicated charging and parking area for the electric forklift at the junction of each operation area, keep the distance between the parking area and each operation point within reasonable range, so as to reduce the extra walking distance for operators, and arrange simple rainproof and sunshade facilities for the outdoor parking point to extend the service life of the equipment. You can also set up a simple daily inspection guidance board next to the parking area, to remind operators to complete basic safety check before each operation.

The third step is to optimize the operation schedule in line with agricultural production rhythm. Since agricultural operation has obvious peak and off-peak seasons, you can arrange operation shifts reasonably during harvest peak period, arrange charging in the low electricity price period at night, so as to reduce the overall operation cost, and arrange routine maintenance and equipment check in the slack farming season, to guarantee the high availability of the equipment during the busy farming period. Compared with internal combustion handling equipment, the electric forklift has no exhaust emission, will not cause pollution to the planting environment in the greenhouse or the stored fresh agricultural products, which also conforms to the green development trend of modern agriculture.
