A global forklift sales volume and growth rate report from the forklift industry shows that the growth rate of forklift sales in Europe has ranked first in the world in the past two years. However, we all know that Europe's economy has been sluggish in recent years, and it still hasn't come out of the haze of the trough. Why is it that the new sales volume of forklifts alone has increased significantly? Is there a problem with the statistical method? Of course not. This is mainly due to the deflection of the focus of the forklift industry's competitive strategy caused by the general downward pressure of the economy for several years. The new strategy led by forklift service providers is to take the life cycle cost of equipment as the core target. The focus of the new strategic positioning is to take the significantly reduced operating costs as new value through new technological means, and then rebuild the benefit distribution relationship with customers with the new business model (new business model). In this way, customers abandon the importance of paying too much attention to the size of one-time purchase costs in the past.
We know that the energy consumption and battery consumption in the whole life cycle of electric forklifts account for about 2/3 of the total cost. Therefore, excellent solutions for reducing the energy consumption and battery consumption of forklifts will become the most important goals for customers to consider when selecting forklift equipment (including equipment renewal). As we all know, lead-acid battery, as the most reliable, environmentally friendly and economical secondary battery, has strong vitality and irreplaceable advantages at present and for a long time. With the birth of new battery technology, the energy density, durability, maintenance free and fast charging of lead-acid battery have been greatly improved, especially with the revolutionary development of power electronics technology and control technology, The new charging device coupled with new charging control technology has raised the overall level of battery charging to an unprecedented high level, which not only greatly reduces energy consumption, but also effectively extends the battery life, and at the same time, it can realize rapid charging! For example, the high-frequency flexible low-temperature charging technology (device) that has emerged in the world in recent years can reduce energy consumption by about 30%, reduce the overcharge of the battery by more than 3 times compared with the previous traditional charging technology, and greatly extend the battery life. This flexible low-temperature charging technology can make the actual life of the battery reach or exceed its design life. Therefore, the electric forklift can achieve nearly 40% cost reduction only with the support of new charging technology, and its value is extraordinary! At present, European forklift service providers first present the new electric handling vehicle scheme to users to support the effective value of the new scheme with data, which is mainly reflected in the comparison of the energy consumption of the new forklift in terms of ton kilometer power consumption, and the comparison of the total power consumption data (energy consumption value) and charging efficiency data (battery overcharge damage value) of the new battery with the new flexible low-temperature charging system, which are favored by customers. This has opened a new round of electric forklift upgrading boom. The increment of forklifts brought by the reduction of forklift operating costs caused by new technologies cannot be underestimated. Of course, the EU's stringent environmental protection law and carbon emissions trading act also contributed to this round of new transactions.
China's resonant forklift charger also belongs to this kind of flexible low-temperature charging technology product. Low energy consumption and little damage to the battery are its main features!
The recharger equipped with the used forklift imported from the European market this year can already see the figure of the charger with the flexible low-temperature charging technology of Fronius in Austria.
The world forklift sales data report reflects the development trend of forklifts in developed countries
In any case, the driving force in the future must be efficiency driven. Behind efficiency is technology. Therefore, more competitive efficiency can obtain new value at a lower cost, which will create an innovative new economic model and share the results of added value with customers. There is already an innovative economic model in the field of forklift trucks that benefits not only from leasing.
