Against the background of global low-carbon transformation and the continuous expansion of logistics industry scale, electric-driven material handling equipment has gradually become a core supporting facility for warehouse operation, port transfer and distribution terminal handling in recent years. Different from traditional internal combustion driven handling equipment, electric-driven products feature zero local emission, low operation noise and relatively stable operation performance, which can well adapt to the closed operation environment of indoor warehouses and meet the increasingly strict environmental protection management requirements of logistics parks.

Multiple factors are promoting the continuous expansion of the market scale of such equipment. First, relevant low-carbon and environmental protection regulations in many regions have put forward clear emission reduction requirements for logistics operation scenarios, which pushes logistics operating entities to replace high-emission traditional handling equipment. Second, the continuous maturity of lithium battery technology has extended the continuous operation time of electric-driven handling equipment, while the production and maintenance cost has shown a steady downward trend, which further narrows the comprehensive use cost gap with traditional fuel equipment. Third, the new logistics warehouses under construction in recent years have been pre-equipped with supporting charging facilities, which removes the core infrastructure obstacle for the large-scale popularization of electric handling equipment.

At present, electric-driven material handling equipment has achieved high penetration in many mainstream logistics scenarios, including e-commerce sorting warehouses, cold chain storage centers, medicine distribution parks and airport cargo transfer stations. In these scenarios, the continuous operation efficiency of electric equipment can basically meet the daily operation demand, and the low noise feature also improves the working comfort of frontline operators, reducing the physical consumption of personnel during long-time operation.

In the next few years, the market of electric-driven material handling equipment will maintain a steady growth trend. On the one hand, relevant product systems will be further enriched, and more customized products suitable for special scenarios such as heavy load stacking, narrow channel operation and extreme temperature storage will be launched to cover more subdivided logistics handling demands. On the other hand, the deep integration of such equipment and warehouse intelligent scheduling system will further improve the overall operation efficiency of the logistics park, help the logistics industry realize the dual goals of cost reduction and low-carbon transformation, and show broad long-term development prospects.
