Running costs for electric order pickers in Bangladesh: what to budget

When planning to deploy electric order pickers for warehouse operations in Bangladesh, making a scientific and reasonable operating budget can help enterprises control total logistics cost and avoid unexpected extra expenditure in the whole service life of equipment. The largest part of daily running cost comes from electricity consumption. Combined with the local average industrial electricity price level, the daily power cost of a standard model of electric order picker working 8 hours a day is only a small part of the cost of using traditional internal combustion handling equipment, which forms a very obvious cost advantage for long-term operation. The second major expenditure item is routine maintenance cost, including regular inspection of power battery, lubrication of transmission and hydraulic components, replacement of wearing parts such as solid tires and contact points, and regular function calibration of control system. Under normal working condition, the annual maintenance cost of electric order pickers can be controlled at 3% to 6% of the equipment purchase price, far lower than the maintenance cost of internal combustion equipment with the same load capacity. Another cost that needs to be included in the long-term 5 to 8 year budget is the replacement cost of the power battery after it reaches the end of its cycle life. The rest of the cost covers a small amount of operation skill training for on-site operators, and regular safety check certification expenses as required by local regulatory requirements. There is no other hidden high expenditure under normal operating scenarios.

For small and medium sized warehouse operators, the total operating cost of electric order pickers is far more stable and predictable than traditional fuel handling equipment, which can bring more stable cost control effect for the daily operation of logistics, e-commerce and retail distribution industries.
