Energy consumption characteristics of electric reach truck in daily operation

In daily operation, electric reach trucks exhibit unique energy consumption characteristics that set them apart from conventional forklift models. The core drivers of their energy use include load weight, lifting height, and the frequency of start-stop movements common in warehouse tasks. Lifting heavier payloads or reaching elevated rack levels increases power demand as hydraulic systems require more energy for lifting actions, while frequent acceleration and deceleration during order picking further contribute to energy consumption—though regenerative braking systems can partially offset this by converting kinetic energy into stored power for later use. Jianshu New Energy has conducted research on these consumption patterns to help warehouse operators boost efficiency.

Proper operational practices, such as avoiding unnecessary high lifts and maintaining moderate operating speeds, alongside regular maintenance of battery and motor systems, can also enhance energy efficiency over time. Tracking daily energy usage also allows operators to identify optimization opportunities, reducing overall operational costs while supporting sustainable warehouse practices. This data-driven approach helps align fleet performance with operational needs, ensuring electric reach trucks deliver reliable, cost-effective service in busy logistics environments.
