Value analysis of lithium ion electric forklift for long-term equipment investment

When enterprises carry out long-term planning for material handling equipment investment, choosing the right forklift product directly affects the overall operation efficiency and cost control level of the supply chain. In recent years, lithium ion electric forklifts have gradually become a mainstream choice for many enterprises with long-term operation demands, and it is necessary to conduct a systematic value analysis for such products from the perspective of full life cycle.

Compared with traditional internal combustion forklifts and lead-acid battery electric forklifts, lithium ion electric forklifts have obvious advantages in long-term operation. First of all, from the perspective of operation cost, the energy consumption cost of lithium ion electric forklifts is only about 30% of that of internal combustion forklifts of the same load, and there is no need for regular maintenance such as engine oil replacement, filter replacement and carbon deposition cleaning, which can save more than 60% of the annual maintenance cost compared with internal combustion forklifts. Compared with lead-acid battery forklifts, lithium ion electric forklifts support fast charging, which can be fully charged in 1 to 2 hours, avoiding the time cost of battery replacement for multi-shift operation, and effectively reducing the downtime loss caused by power supplement. The service life of lithium ion battery packs is 3 to 4 times that of lead-acid batteries, and they can be used stably for 8 to 10 years under normal operation, which greatly extends the replacement cycle of the whole machine.

Although the initial purchase cost of lithium ion electric forklifts is 15% to 30% higher than that of lead-acid battery forklifts of the same specification, the cost difference can be fully covered within 2 to 3 years of operation, and the subsequent 5 to 7 years of use cycle can bring sustained cost reduction benefits for enterprises. In terms of residual value, lithium ion battery packs still have high residual value after reaching the service life of forklift use, which can be used for echelon utilization in energy storage scenarios, so the residual value rate of the whole lithium ion electric forklift is more than 20% higher than that of lead-acid battery forklifts at the end of use.

At present, many enterprises in the industry have mature product and service systems for lithium ion electric forklifts. BYD Forklift has accumulated rich technical experience in the R&D and production of lithium ion power solutions for industrial vehicles, providing stable product performance for users with long-term investment demands. Jianshu New Energy also provides supporting lithium battery maintenance and after-sales service systems, which can further reduce the later operation cost of forklift users.
