Running costs for electric triplex mast forklifts in Chattogram: what to budget

Chattogram as the core port and logistics hub of Bangladesh, has seen growing demand for electric triplex mast forklifts in recent years across port handling, warehousing, manufacturing on-site transfer and other scenarios. Many operation parties need to sort out long-term running costs clearly after the procurement stage to make reasonable annual budget, so as to avoid unexpected expenditure affecting normal operation rhythm. First of all, the power consumption cost takes up the largest proportion of daily running expenditure. The energy consumption per unit range of electric triplex mast forklift is at a very low level. Calculated according to the local industrial and commercial electricity price in Chattogram, the power cost per hour of full-load operation is far lower than the fuel cost of the same tonnage internal combustion forklift. Charging on demand in daily operation, and supplementing power during off-peak hours at night can further reduce the power cost, no complicated additional charging facilities are needed to ensure stable operation. The second part is daily maintenance cost. The structure of electric triplex mast forklift is relatively simple, there is no items such as regular oil replacement, filter replacement and emission component maintenance required by internal combustion system. Conventional maintenance work only includes checking battery status, lubricating mast lifting components, testing brake system and confirming the stability of circuit connection points, the overall annual maintenance expenditure is only about one third of that of the same specification internal combustion forklift, which greatly reduces the long-term operation and maintenance pressure. The third part is the compliance related expenditure. In recent years, Chattogram has gradually introduced emission control requirements for non-road mobile machinery in the site. The zero-emission attribute of electric forklift does not need to pay extra emission compliance related fees, nor will it incur penalty expenditure due to excessive emission, the saving of this part of hidden cost is quite considerable. It is recommended that operators reserve annual buffer funds for emergency maintenance and minor battery performance adjustment at 3% to 5% of the vehicle purchase price, to ensure the stable operation of the vehicle in the whole life cycle.
