As a core industrial and logistics hub in North Sumatra, Medan has a large number of narrow-channel warehouse, manufacturing and bulk cargo distribution scenarios that widely apply articulated forklifts, and clarifying the residual value rule and reasonable replacement timing of such equipment can effectively help local enterprises optimize asset management and reduce long-term operating costs. The residual value of articulated forklifts in Medan is mainly affected by four core factors: total accumulated working hours, regular maintenance records, operating environment condition and remaining service life of core components. Affected by the local tropical high temperature and high humidity climate, the residual value of equipment that has not received regular anti-corrosion and component maintenance will drop significantly faster than the average level in low humidity areas. For electric articulated forklifts with complete official maintenance records, the residual value can remain at 55% to 70% of the original purchase price within the first 3 years of normal use, while equipment with irregular maintenance may drop to less than 30% of the original value after 2 years of operation. There is no uniform fixed standard for the replacement timing of articulated forklifts, and enterprises can make judgments according to their actual operation status. It is recommended to arrange equipment replacement in advance when the annual maintenance cost of the current equipment exceeds 30% of its current assessed residual value, the actual operation efficiency drops by more than 40% compared with the new equipment of the same specification, and the hidden safety hazards of core structures are difficult to completely eliminate through maintenance.

Arranging equipment replacement at a reasonable time can not only reduce the unexpected shutdown loss caused by sudden equipment failure, but also maximize the full cycle investment return of the forklift. It is recommended that local Medan enterprises conduct a residual value check for their articulated forklifts every 6 months, so as to make a reasonable replacement budget plan in advance according to their own operation rhythm.
