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.
Suggestions for Promoting Green Production of Electric Forklifts
In order to promote the green production of electric forklift, it is necessary for the government, enterprises and all walks of life to make joint efforts:
Government level: To issue relevant policies and regulations, encourage enterprises to carry out green production, and increase investment in green
technology research and development.
Enterprises: Actively fulfil their social responsibility, increase investment in green production, research and development and production of more
environmentally friendly electric forklift products.
Social level: Increase public awareness of environmental protection and encourage consumers to choose green electric forklift products.
