BYD forklift storage and handling solutions for the pharmaceutical industry: adapt to the needs of clean cold chain and create a safe and efficient warehousing and logistics system

2026-08-24

The pharmaceutical industry is related to people's livelihood and health, and drug storage and circulation have strict standards for environmental cleanliness, temperature and humidity control and operation standardization. From cargo unloading and handling, three-dimensional shelf stacking and storage to sorting, loading and shipment, the environmental protection attributes, operation stability and scene adaptability of handling equipment directly affect drug storage safety and storage operation efficiency. In response to the special working conditions and upgrade needs of the pharmaceutical industry, BYD forklift relies on lithium iron phosphate electric technology accumulation to launch multi-category storage and handling solutions, which help pharmaceutical companies control long-term operating costs while ensuring clean and safe operations.

First, the working conditions of warehousing and handling in the pharmaceutical industry

The warehousing and handling scenarios in the pharmaceutical industry have distinct industry attributes, which place multi-dimensional requirements on equipment adaptability.

First, the overall operating load is light. The single load of the three core scenarios of unloading handling, stacking storage, sorting and shipment is mostly within 2 tons, which requires high control flexibility and accuracy of the equipment.

Second, the operation time is longer. The industry generally adopts the three-shift operation mode, and the average working time of forklifts can reach more than 20 hours per day, which requires high equipment endurance and continuous operation reliability.

The third is the strict operating environment requirements. The handling process is mainly indoor operation, which is affected by the storage characteristics of drugs. The warehouse has clear standards for temperature, humidity and cleanliness, and strict requirements for the emission level and cleanliness properties of the handling equipment.

The medical storage overlay normal temperature storage, cool storage, cold storage, freezer and other temperature areas requires the handling equipment to have good low temperature environment adaptation ability.

Fifth, the demand for stacking operations is outstanding. Drugs are mostly stored on three-dimensional shelves to achieve efficient sorting and distribution management, and there are clear requirements for the lifting height and stacking stability of the equipment.

Second, the application limitations of traditional lead-acid battery forklifts

In the past, the handling equipment of pharmaceutical companies was mainly lead-acid battery forklifts, which had many limitations in the process of adapting to the special working conditions of the industry.

At the daily maintenance level, lead-acid batteries need to be regularly added with distilled water and electrolyte, which makes the maintenance process cumbersome and the operation is not standardized, which can shorten the battery life and increase the investment of enterprise manpower and time.

In terms of operating costs, lead-acid batteries have a long charging cycle. In order to ensure continuous operation of multiple shifts, enterprises need to equip spare batteries and replace them daily. In some scenarios, special power replacement equipment is also required, which increases the comprehensive operation investment.

In terms of safety and environmental protection, lead-acid batteries are prone to acid fog during operation, and hydrogen is released during charging, which not only poses a safety hazard, but also may have a potential impact on the clean storage environment of medicine. At the same time, it is necessary to build a dedicated charging room and arrange special personnel to manage it, which occupies storage space and increases infrastructure costs.

In addition, lead-acid batteries have obvious battery life attenuation in low temperature environments, making it difficult to stably adapt to medical cold storage operation scenarios and unable to fully meet the operation requirements of multi-temperature storage.

III. Exclusive solutions for the pharmaceutical industry of BYD forklifts

Combining the working conditions and existing pain points of the pharmaceutical industry, BYD forklift builds an adaptable industry handling solution from four dimensions: product matrix, core configuration, custom adaptation, and service guarantee.

In terms of product layout, a combination of equipment covering the whole operation scenario is formed. 1.6T three-pivot/four-pivot counterweight forklifts are used in the unloading and handling process to ensure the efficiency of loading, unloading and transporting; stacking storage and sorting and shipping links are matched with 1.6T forward truck, 2.0T pallet truck and 1.5T small and micro truck, which are suitable for different shelf heights and short-distance transshipment needs to meet the diverse operation scenarios of medical warehousing.

In terms of core performance, all models are equipped with lithium iron phosphate batteries, which are maintenance-free and zero-emission. There is no need to equip spare batteries or build a special charging room, which can effectively avoid acid mist and hydrogen emission risks and adapt to the clean storage environment of medicine. According to the calculation of 1.6T models working 20 hours a day, the monthly energy consumption cost of BYD electric forklifts is lower than that of lead-acid battery forklifts of the same tonnage; energy consumption, maintenance, battery amortization and other costs are comprehensively calculated on a five-year cycle, and a single device can effectively reduce comprehensive operating expenses. At the same time, the battery has good low temperature adaptation characteristics. With the waterproof and antifreeze design of key components, it can be stably adapted to cold storage operation scenarios in different temperature zones.

In terms of customization and safety configuration, we provide multi-specification gantry options, which can adapt to different stacking requirements from low-level ordinary shelves to high-level three-dimensional shelves; support customized forks, safety nets and other humanized configurations; vehicles are equipped with multiple safety designs such as overload protection, vehicle power-off protection, low-power protection, and turning speed limit, taking into account operational efficiency and operational safety.

In terms of service guarantee, the battery provides a 5-year quality assurance cycle, which can reduce the maintenance concerns of enterprises for long-term use of vehicles; establish a full-link service system covering pre-sale, in-sale and after-sale, supporting a hierarchical response mechanism and stepped professional training, and supporting sales, financial leasing, operating leasing and other cooperation models, adapting to the procurement planning of different enterprises.

IV. Industry landing practice

At present, BYD forklifts have been landed in Dashanlin, China Resources Pharmaceutical, SF Pharmaceutical Supply Chain, Yunnan Tongfeng Pharmaceutical and other pharmaceutical companies, covering core operation scenarios such as finished product shipment, warehouse handling, shelf stacking, etc. The stable operation performance and clean and environmentally friendly operation characteristics have been recognized by customers. In addition to the pharmaceutical industry, related products have also been put into use in logistics, food, manufacturing and other industries to meet the handling needs of different fields.

With the continuous improvement of pharmaceutical industry compliance standards and the advancement of smart warehousing construction, the cleanliness and efficiency upgrade of on-site handling equipment has become the industry development trend. BYD forklifts rely on lithium battery technology advantages and industry scenarios to continuously polish the exclusive handling solutions of the pharmaceutical industry. While ensuring the safety and operational efficiency of drug warehousing, it helps enterprises reduce costs and increase efficiency, practice green operation concepts, and provide reliable equipment support for the logistics upgrade of the pharmaceutical industry.
