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

As Sihanoukville’s logistics and e-commerce warehousing sectors continue to expand steadily, more local warehouse operators are adopting electric order pickers to streamline inventory picking processes, and clarifying the full scope of running costs helps operators make reasonable annual budget arrangements to avoid unexpected overspending. The first core expenditure to count is energy cost. Under the local industrial electricity price standard, the power consumption of a standard electric order picker for 8 hours of continuous operation is very low, and the daily energy cost is far lower than the fuel cost of traditional internal combustion picking equipment of the same load level. The second part is routine maintenance cost. Normal annual maintenance work includes regular safety check of walking and lifting components, regular maintenance of power battery, and replacement of easily worn parts such as operation handles and walking tires, the total cost of which usually accounts for 3% to 5% of the equipment purchase price every year. Unlike internal combustion equipment, electric order pickers do not need extra cost for engine oil replacement, emission detection and related mechanical debugging, which cuts many hidden expenditures. The third part covers necessary supporting costs, including special operation insurance for warehouse working scenarios, and small investment for charging point arrangement in the warehouse area. Operators also need to reserve a small proportion of flexible budget to cope with occasional unexpected demands such as quick part replacement after long hours of high-intensity operation, to make sure the picking fleet can run stably all year round.

High-quality electric order pickers have relatively long service life under normal operation, which can effectively average the annual comprehensive running cost, and operators do not need to set aside extra large budget for equipment scrapping and renewal in the first 5 years of use. For most local small and medium-sized warehouses with 5 to 10 sets of electric order pickers, the total annual running budget calculated according to the above dimensions can be controlled at a reasonable level, which can bring stable and cost-effective operation experience for local warehousing and logistics enterprises.
