Surely you too feel painful that the cost of energy has increased many times over. It is all the more important to use them as efficiently as possible. We reveal how you can save energy costs with your forklift fleet.
● In order to achieve certain targets for site efficiency
● So that the operating costs remain constant with rising energy prices To secure an attractive utility tariff
● So that you also pay less CO2 taxes through lower CO2 emissions Or also to save production costs and achieve competitive advantages through lower sales prices
● At the same time, forklift fleets offer great savings potential, which more than ever should be used for industrial trucks powered by combustion engines and conventional electric forklifts with lead-acid batteries.
The efficiency of the BSLBATT lithium-ion batteries is over 95%, which makes the system up to 30% more energy-efficient compared to the conventional lead-acid battery. As a general rule of thumb, those who switch can save more than 16% energy and avoid the same amount of CO2 with efficient chargers and in a direct comparison.
Optimize the interaction
With regard to the total energy and operating costs, you should always look at the device, the battery, the charger, and the infrastructure as a whole. Therefore, match everything as precisely as possible to the intended use, the severity of the missions, and the possible loading timings in order to get the best out of it.
Increase warehouse transparency
With a fleet management system like BSLBATT Battery, you can access your fleet data online and at any time. Can waste in the form of unused resources be identified from this? Then use the findings: by optimizing capacity utilization or eliminating overcapacity, you save on energy costs and CO2 emissions.
Monitor charging cycles intelligently
Adhering to the intended charging cycles will keep the service life and capacity of both lead-acid and lithium-ion batteries high. Our Intelligent cloud platform GPS is also able to monitor battery runtimes, thereby maximizing energy efficiency and minimizing unnecessary consumption.
End customers of forklift rental companies switch to lithium batteries
LFP is a popular, cost-effective cathode material for lithium-ion cells that are known to deliver excellent safety and long life span, which makes it particularly well-suited for specialty battery applications requiring high load currents and endurance. A recent lithium iron phosphate battery project in Spain showed that this could save 29% in energy costs. 40-50% Smaller Carbon Footprint. 45-50% Lower Cost Than Lead Acid Batteries
Optimize travel routes and warehouse structure
Shorter or faster routes also optimize energy consumption in the warehouse. An improved arrangement of storage locations for fast, medium, and slow-moving items (ABC analysis) can bring significant efficiency benefits. In the same way, the parallel picking of several orders at the same time (multi-order picking) indirectly saves energy.
Drive energy-efficiently
Not only drive technology but also purely human factors contribute effectively to savings: Safe handling of the industrial trucks by trained personnel and an energy-efficient driving style already bring a lot here. Simply by increasing awareness of the most energy-efficient way of working and driving, the savings potential also increases.
Plan investments sustainably
Of course, the selection of the right type of drive and energy storage depends on the intended use. If you want to save energy costs in the long term, you should always include alternative drive technologies in your investment decisions. Use our free consulting tool, which will support you in planning the right energy storage system and the required capacity. This is how we find out together which way is the most economical in terms of energy costs.
Allow yourself to be promoted
If you then switch to lithium-ion technology, you can not only save energy costs directly but also secure government subsidies: There are various subsidy programs that reward you with grants if you invest in electric drives and CO2 -Reduce emissions.
Worth it
As you can see, forklift fleets have plenty of savings potential. Let our experts advise you if you want to save energy costs or are planning to switch from gas/diesel/Lead Acid to lithium-ion technology.
And ask for the BSLBATT Battery energy-saving tips right away, so you have a direct overview of the savings potential.
