Adapting 1.5-Ton Reach Trucks for Cold Store Use

As a widely used material handling tool in narrow-aisle high-shelf cold chain warehouses, 1.5-ton reach trucks need targeted adjustments to adapt to long-term low temperature, high humidity and frequent temperature shift working conditions in cold stores. The conventional standard configuration 1.5-ton reach truck may encounter problems including reduced battery discharge efficiency, slow hydraulic response, foggy display screen and aging of sealing parts after long hours of operation in environments below minus 20 degrees Celsius, which will affect operation stability and shorten the service life of the whole vehicle.

When carrying out cold store adaptation transformation, the first priority is to optimize the power battery system. It is recommended to add a set of constant temperature heating and heat preservation module outside the battery pack, adjust the battery management system logic to adapt to low-temperature discharge characteristics, to ensure that the battery can maintain stable output power and reasonable working duration in continuous low-temperature operation scenarios. The second step is to upgrade the hydraulic system, replace the common hydraulic oil with special low-freezing-point hydraulic oil, and replace all sealing rings and tubing materials with low-temperature resistant special materials, to avoid hydraulic system failure caused by material hardening under ultra-low temperature. The third step is to optimize the whole vehicle circuit, wrap all the wire harnesses with cold-resistant protective layer, add anti-condensation heating function for the operation display screen and core electrical control components, to avoid signal delay or component failure caused by condensed water. The last step is to do anti-corrosion treatment for all metal structural parts of the vehicle, to reduce the corrosion risk brought by frequent condensation.

The mature electric vehicle technology of BYD Forklift can provide reliable basic support for the above adaptation transformation. Jianshu New Energy provides full-process low-temperature performance testing and personalized transformation scheme design services for related demands.

In daily use, it is also recommended to make reasonable operation specifications, avoid moving the vehicle directly from low-temperature cold store to high temperature storage space without transition, and arrange regular maintenance inspection of all heating and heat preservation modules, to ensure the long-term stable operation of the adapted 1.5-ton reach truck, reduce the operation cost of cold chain storage, and bring stable handling efficiency for related scenarios.
