BYD forklift ceramic industry storage and handling solution: adapt to heavy-duty and fragile working conditions, help green cost reduction and upgrade

2026-08-24

The ceramic industry has a long production chain and a large scale of material turnover. The transfer of finished products and auxiliary materials in the workshop, the palletizing storage of finished products, the loading and shipment of goods, etc., have high requirements on the bearing capacity, smooth operation and environmental adaptability of handling equipment. Affected by the material characteristics and production mode of the industry, ceramic factories generally have the characteristics of heavy operation load, long operation time, fragile goods, and high proportion of indoor operation. The shortcomings of traditional internal combustion forklifts in environmental compliance and cost control are increasingly prominent. In response to the operation characteristics and logistics upgrade needs of the ceramic industry, BYD forklifts rely on lithium iron phosphate electric technology accumulation to launch exclusive warehousing and handling solutions, which help enterprises control operating costs and improve the workshop operating environment while ensuring heavy-duty operation capacity.

First, the core characteristics of the ceramic industry's handling conditions

The warehousing and handling scene of the ceramic industry has distinct characteristics of heavy work conditions, mainly showing five major characteristics.

First, the working load is heavy. In the core scenarios such as finished product transfer in the workshop, finished product warehousing and loading and shipment, the single load is mostly concentrated in the 2-3 ton range, which requires the handling equipment to have stable heavy-duty operation capacity and reliable structural strength.

The second is the long operating time. The industry generally adopts a three-shift operation mode, with forklifts working for an average of 20 hours a day. Some production lines operate around the clock, which requires high equipment battery life and continuous operation reliability.

The third is mainly indoor operations. Most of the handling links are completed in the workshop and warehouse. Equipment emissions and operating noise directly affect the working environment, and there are stricter requirements for environmental protection attributes.

Fourth, the stacking operation is normalized. The stacking height of the finished product warehouse is mostly within 4 meters, which requires the equipment to have stable lifting operation ability and control accuracy.

Fifth, the properties of the goods are special. Ceramics belong to the fragile category, and the handling and stacking process needs to be handled with care. There are high standards for the lifting cushioning performance and operation stability of the forklift; some scenes also need to be equipped with professional attachments such as side shifters and push-pull devices to improve operation efficiency.

Second, the application limitations of traditional handling equipment

At present, the handling equipment in the ceramic industry is dominated by internal combustion forklifts, and the application of electric forklifts is also gradually expanding, but both types of traditional equipment have shortcomings in adaptability.

In terms of internal combustion forklifts, the first is the high cost of energy consumption. According to the calculation of the 3.5T model working 20 hours a day, the monthly fuel cost of a single unit is relatively high, and the pressure on long-term operating expenses is high. Secondly, the problem of exhaust gas and noise pollution is prominent. It is difficult to diffuse exhaust gas in the indoor operating environment, which not only affects the health of operators, but also faces increasingly strict environmental protection supervision pressure. Third, the failure rate is high and the maintenance is complicated. The engine needs regular maintenance, the cost of replacing core components is high, and the risk of failure under heavy working conditions is relatively higher, which will increase the maintenance investment and production stop risk of the enterprise. In addition, the hot and dry environment and noise generated during the operation will also reduce the working experience of front-line personnel.

In terms of lead-acid battery forklifts, there are common problems such as cumbersome daily maintenance, the need for spare batteries, acid mist and hydrogen emissions during charging, and the need to build a special charging room. There are still many problems when adapting to high-intensity continuous operation.

III. BYD forklift ceramic industry adaptation solutions

Combining the working conditions and existing pain points of the ceramic industry, BYD forklift takes 3.0T/3.5T counterbalanced electric forklift as its core product, and builds an adaptation plan from four dimensions: power performance, cost control, scene adaptation, and service guarantee.

In terms of power and cost, the model is equipped with a large-capacity lithium iron phosphate battery, which can support 8-10 hours of continuous operation on a single charge. With a high-current charging cabinet, employees can quickly replenish energy during rest breaks, and spare batteries are not required to meet the needs of three-shift continuous operation. From the perspective of operating costs, based on the calculation of 3.5T models working 20 hours a day, the monthly electricity bill for a single unit is much lower than the fuel expenditure of internal combustion forklifts of the same tonnage. Compared with internal combustion forklifts and lead-acid battery forklifts, the comprehensive operation investment of a single unit can be effectively reduced.

At the level of working condition adaptation, the model is equipped with high-power drive and lifting motor, with brand drive axle, stable power output, driving and improving performance can be adapted to the heavy-duty handling needs of the ceramic industry. The vehicle adopts a reinforced body design, equipped with mature mainstream controllers, hydraulic systems and other core components to ensure the reliability and service life of the vehicle under long-term heavy working conditions.

In terms of customization and safety, it supports the customization of gantry height and fork specifications, and can be outfitted with professional attachments such as side shifters and push-pull devices to match the needs of different operation scenarios. The vehicle is equipped with multiple safety designs such as slope protection, overload protection, low cylinder buffer, vehicle power-off protection, low battery protection, and turning speed limit. Among them, the low cylinder buffer can effectively reduce the impact of loading and unloading goods, and adapt to the operation requirements of light handling of fragile goods. At the same time, it can be equipped with fully enclosed cab, warning lights, fans, and other user-friendly configurations, taking into account operational safety and operation experience.

At the level of service guarantee, BYD forklift provides a 5-year quality assurance cycle for batteries, which can reduce the maintenance concerns of enterprises for long-term use of vehicles compared with industry conventional quality assurance standards; establish a full-link service system covering pre-sale, in-sale and after-sale, supporting hierarchical response mechanisms and stepped professional training, and support sales, financial leasing, operating leasing and other cooperation models to adapt to the procurement planning of different enterprises.

IV. Industry landing practice

At present, BYD forklifts have served many ceramic enterprises such as Jiamei Ceramics, Xiejin Ceramics, and Chia Tai Ceramics. Their applications cover core operation scenarios such as workshop transshipment and finished product warehousing, and their stable heavy-load performance and smooth operation characteristics have been recognized by customers. In addition to the ceramic industry, related models have also been applied in various industries such as food, logistics, and automobile manufacturing, adapting to the handling needs of different fields.

With the continuous advancement of green transformation and lean management in the building materials industry, the electrification of in-plant logistics has become an important direction for ceramic enterprises to upgrade. Relying on its own lithium battery technology advantages and experience in adapting to heavy working conditions, BYD forklifts continue to polish the exclusive handling solutions for the ceramic industry. While ensuring operational efficiency and operational reliability, it helps enterprises reduce operating costs and meet environmental compliance requirements, providing reliable equipment support for the logistics upgrade of the ceramic industry.
