Galle, as an important port and logistics hub in southern Sri Lanka, sees growing demand for efficient material handling equipment in recent years, and electric three-wheel forklifts are widely adopted by local warehousing, cargo transfer and small manufacturing operators for their flexible operation, zero on-site emission and low long-term operating cost. The most concerned indicator for most local users to evaluate the economic performance of such equipment is the actual energy cost per hour in real local working scenarios.
In conventional daily working conditions, the rated power of mainstream electric three-wheel forklifts on the market falls in the range from 4kW to 7kW. In actual operation, the equipment does not keep running at peak power all the time, because there are many scenarios including low-speed moving, temporary parking and partial load handling. According to local public electricity price standard in Galle, the actual average hourly energy consumption of such equipment in common working scenarios is about 3kWh to 5kWh, converted to the energy cost per hour, which is far lower than the fuel cost of same load capacity internal combustion forklifts, bringing obvious cost advantage for long term operation. Proper daily battery maintenance, standardized charging and discharging habits can further reduce unnecessary power loss, and lower the average hourly energy cost to a more reasonable range.
