How to choose a large-tonnage forklift? Look here!

In recent years, with the development of new energy forklifts, although the public and various industries' recognition of new energy forklifts has been gradually increasing, doubts about new energy forklifts have always existed, especially in the use of new energy forklifts in the large-tonnage field. "Is the new energy forklift (large-tonnage) powerful?" "Is the new energy forklift (large-tonnage) durable?" "Is the new energy forklift (large-tonnage) cost-effective?" The reason for these questions is nothing but the lack of trust in the manufacturer's technology and concerns about their own working conditions.


In response to these questions, BYD Forklifts, as a "pioneer" in the field of new energy lithium battery forklifts, will provide answers from a more professional perspective. While bringing confidence to the industry and users, it strives to promote the progress of new energy in the heavy-duty sector.

Question: Are new energy forklifts (large tonnage) powerful? Not only is it powerful, but it's extremely powerful.

Regarding this issue, the first step is to clarify a common misunderstanding: the so-called "strength" refers to the lifting intensity and force, rather than the body's perceived reaction time for lifting.

During conversations with drivers of large-tonnage forklifts, BYD Forklifts found that many people ask the question "Are new energy forklifts powerful?" because when they suddenly switch from driving internal combustion forklifts for many years to new energy forklifts, they feel that the lifting speed of new energy forklifts is slightly slower than that of internal combustion forklifts, and thus have the illusion that new energy forklifts are less powerful. Just like the question of which is heavier, one ton of iron or one ton of cotton, then which is more powerful, a 7-ton internal combustion forklift or a 7-ton new energy forklift? The answer to the question is also very clear.

Take the CPD70/CPD80 models under BYD Forklift as an example. These two large-tonnage new energy forklifts have a load capacity of 7 tons and 8 tons respectively. As long as the load does not exceed the absolute value, they can both perform normal lifting and moving operations of goods. Moreover, under load conditions, they can both reach a lifting height of 3 meters, a traveling speed of 18 kilometers per hour, and a lifting speed of 400 millimeters per second. What is particularly worth noting is that the noise at the driver's position is controlled within 75 decibels (A).

Regarding the issue that some drivers feel the lifting speed response is slightly slow, BYD Forklifts also offers an explanation from a relatively professional perspective. Under the absolute condition of not considering any objective factors, in terms of response speed alone, the new energy forklifts driven by lithium batteries are actually much faster than internal combustion forklifts. The reason is that lithium batteries directly drive the motor for power output, saving the time of mixing oil and gas before power output. The reason why some drivers feel the response speed is slow is due to factors such as the battery discharge power or motor quality not meeting the standards.

The large-tonnage products of BYD forklifts can offer drivers a perfect product experience in terms of battery technology, craftsmanship, and the selection and adjustment of motors. On the one hand, BYD forklifts, relying on years of accumulation, can ensure the consistent quality of battery charging and discharging power. On the other hand, through continuous research and development, they ensure the perfect coordination between lithium batteries and motors. This allows drivers to experience the powerful and responsive large-tonnage new energy forklifts.

Question: Are large-tonnage new energy forklifts durable?
Not only lasting but also very long-lasting.

This issue not only requires consideration of the daily operating conditions of new energy forklifts, but also the daily usage habits of drivers. Heavier operating conditions and poorer habits may both lead to the durability of new energy forklifts failing to meet the idealized expectations of drivers. However, in terms of battery capacity alone, taking the C160D model of BYD forklifts as an example, its rated lifting capacity can reach 16 tons. To ensure its operational range, BYD forklifts have equipped it with a lithium battery of 307.2V/560Ah, truly achieving long-lasting performance.

Meanwhile, BYD forklifts have also developed an intelligent fast charging technology. Relying on the feature of lithium batteries having no memory effect, the vehicles can be charged and used immediately, providing an additional guarantee for their endurance beyond the battery capacity.


Question: Are new energy forklifts (large tonnage) cost-effective?

Not only is it tall, but also more environmentally friendly.

Regarding this issue, the answer is actually quite straightforward. First, in terms of price, although the price of large-tonnage new energy forklifts cannot be as low as that of internal combustion forklifts, after calculating the overall comprehensive usage cost, you will find that large-tonnage new energy forklifts are expensive to purchase but cost-effective in use, while internal combustion forklifts are cheap to purchase but expensive to use. Moreover, the fuel cost alone for internal combustion forklifts in the later stage is much higher than that of new energy forklifts. At the same time, under the trend of new energy development, new energy forklifts also have advantages over internal combustion forklifts in later-stage services and maintenance.

Secondly, in terms of environmental protection, the dual carbon goals are approaching, and environmental control will become more stringent. Large-tonnage internal combustion forklifts will always be under the shadow of environmental control, while large-tonnage new energy forklifts will not have this concern. At the same time, the new energy logistics handling solutions created by BYD forklifts can truly help enterprises embark on the path of energy conservation and environmental protection.

The above are some of BYD Forklift's thoughts on the field of large-tonnage new energy forklifts. In the future, it is believed that large-tonnage new energy forklifts will be increasingly recognized and favored by the market and users. BYD Forklift is also well-prepared and will continue to promote the green process of large-tonnage forklift application scenarios through technological innovation!
