In recent years, with the enhancement of environmental awareness and the promotion of the ‘double carbon’ goal, green manufacturing has become an inevitable trend of the transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry. As an important equipment in the field of logistics and handling, the green production of electric forklift trucks has also attracted much attention.
Advantages of Green Production of Electric Forklift
Compared with traditional internal combustion forklift, electric forklift has significant advantages such as zero emission, low noise, energy saving and environmental protection, which is the ideal choice for green logistics. The green production of electric forklift is not only reflected in the environmental protection in the use of the link, but also throughout the entire product life cycle, including:
Raw material selection: adopt renewable and recyclable environmentally friendly materials to reduce environmental pollution.
Production process: Apply clean production technology to reduce energy consumption and pollutant emissions.
Product design: Optimise product design, improve energy efficiency and extend product life.
Recycling: Establish a perfect recycling system to realise the resourceful use of waste batteries and the whole machine.
Challenges of Greening Electric Forklift Production
Although the greening of electric forklift production is promising, it is also facing some challenges:
Cost pressure: The application of green materials and clean production processes will increase the production cost and challenge the profitability of enterprises.
Technical bottlenecks: Battery technology, motor technology and other key technologies still need to break through to further enhance the performance and range of electric forklifts.
Incomplete recycling system: the current electric forklift recycling system is not perfect, the recycling of waste batteries and the whole machine has certain difficulties.
