Eco-friendly forklift: A Green and Efficient Choice in the Era of Logistics Upgrade

Publication Date: Jul 24, 2025
In the wave of global low-carbon transformation and logistics intelligence, eco-friendly forklifts, with the advantages of zero emissions, low noise, and high energy efficiency, have become core handling equipment in warehousing, ports, and manufacturing industries. From policy-driven initiatives to cost optimization, the popularization of eco-friendly forklifts not only responds to the "carbon neutrality" goal but also helps enterprises reduce long-term operating costs. This article analyzes the core advantages, application scenarios, and selection criteria of eco-friendly forklifts to help you seize the opportunity of green logistics upgrading.

1. Why Have Eco-friendly Forklifts Become the First Choice for Logistics Enterprises? 

Eco-friendly forklifts are driven by electricity, completely getting rid of the exhaust pollution and high noise problems of traditional fuel-powered forklifts. Compared with diesel forklifts, eco-friendly forklifts reduce carbon emissions by 100% and control noise below 65dB, making them directly applicable to indoor warehousing operations. At the policy level, many countries have imposed strict emission restrictions on non-road mobile machinery, making eco-friendly forklifts a "must-have option" for compliant operations. Economically, the energy consumption cost of eco-friendly forklifts is only 30% of that of fuel-powered models, and annual maintenance costs are reduced by 40%, which is the core logic behind the continuous popularity of eco-friendly forklifts.

2. Key Performance Indicators and Selection Standards for Eco-friendly forklifts

(1) Battery Life: High-quality eco-friendly forklifts are equipped with high-performance batteries (such as 60V/138Ah), enabling 8 hours of continuous operation on a single charge, meeting the daily needs of small and medium-sized logistics warehouses.

(2) Load and Lifting Capacity: Select models according to cargo weight. The 2.5T eco-friendly forklift is suitable for standard pallet handling, and a lifting height of ≥3000mm can cover multi-layer shelf access.

(3) Operational Flexibility: Eco-friendly forklifts need to adopt hydraulic power steering and centralized operating handles, with a minimum turning radius of ≤2.5 meters, adapting to narrow channel operations.

(4) Safety Configuration: They must be equipped with anti-rollover systems and emergency power-off buttons, meeting the basic requirements of "human-machine safety" for eco-friendly forklifts

3. Adaptation Strategies for Eco-friendly forklifts in Different Scenarios

(1) Indoor Warehousing: Prioritize 2.5T electric eco-friendly forklifts with solid rubber tires to avoid ground scratches, and their low-noise characteristics ensure a comfortable working environment for employees.

(2) Port Freight: High endurance eco-friendly forklifts are required, supporting fast charging (80% charge in 2 hours) and a lifting height of ≥4 meters to adapt to container loading and unloading.

(3) Food and Pharmaceutical Industries: Eco-friendly forklifts must have a waterproof rating of IP54 or higher, with stainless steel operating platforms for corrosion resistance, meeting the needs of scenarios with strict hygiene standards.

4. Daily Maintenance and Lifespan Extension Tips for Eco-friendly forklifts

(1) Battery Maintenance: Check battery liquid level before daily charging, perform balanced charging once a month, and avoid over-discharging, which is key to extending the battery life of eco-friendly forklifts.

(2) Hydraulic System Maintenance: Clean the hydraulic oil filter weekly to ensure smooth lifting and lowering actions of the eco-friendly forklift and reduce the risk of pipeline leakage.

(3) Tire Inspection: Regularly adjust tire pressure and clean gravel in tire patterns to ensure the driving safety of eco-friendly forklifts on wet and slippery surfaces.
