Energy cost per hour at 15 ton and 20 ton in Medan: where the difference comes from

In Medan’s busy industrial zones, port terminals and raw material storage yards, heavy duty electric forklifts of 15 ton and 20 ton capacity are widely adopted for cargo handling work, many enterprise operators notice that there is a noticeable gap between the two models’ hourly energy cost, and the difference does not only come from the simple gap of rated load weight. The first core source of difference comes from the basic power configuration of the matching drive and hydraulic lifting system. A 20 ton electric forklift is equipped with higher power output components to meet the demand of lifting heavier goods to specified height, so the basic energy consumption under no-load standby status is slightly higher than that of a 15 ton model, the gap will further expand when the two devices run under full load status. The second source of difference is related to the actual operation scenarios in local Medan. Many local operation teams often arrange temporary cross usage of forklifts for different weight goods, if a 20 ton forklift is frequently used to handle goods within 10 ton load range for a long time, its energy conversion efficiency will be lower than that of a 15 ton model working under matched load, which will push up the actual hourly energy cost further. The third source comes from different system energy efficiency calibration logics, as well as different actual usage habits of operators. Local power supply price policies for industrial users in Medan will also affect the final hourly energy cost gap presented in actual operation data.
