What should be paid attention to when using electric forklift in winter?

Electric forklift is a very common logistics storage equipment, which can be seen in warehouses, factories, airports, docks, supermarkets and other places. Now, most parts of the country are in cold and dry winter, which will have a certain negative impact on any mechanical equipment. So, no matter what the forklift price is, how to use and maintain the electric forklift in winter? Now, the electric forklift manufacturer will tell you something.

In general, the electric forklift manufacturer will advise customers to use electric forklift in an appropriate environment. First of all, the altitude of the working place of the electric forklift shall not exceed 1200m. Moreover, the ambient temperature shall not exceed 40 ℃ and shall not be lower than - 25 ℃. When the ambient temperature is 40 ℃, the relative humidity shall not exceed 50%. Higher relative humidity is allowed at lower temperature. Electric forklift is different from diesel forklift, so it is recommended to use it on hard and flat ground. Finally, no matter what the forklift price is, it is prohibited to use it in flammable and explosive places or corrosive environments with strong acidity and alkalinity. Now let's look at the special requirements for using electric forklifts in winter.

When using electric forklift in winter, the most important thing to pay attention to is battery maintenance. Enterprises in the north should pay more attention to this. In the low temperature environment, the battery power consumption of electric forklift will increase, the charging time will be extended, and the service time will be greatly shortened. In this case, we should pay attention that the battery temperature should not be too low when charging the electric forklift in the low temperature area. No matter what the forklift price is, if the electric forklift works in a low-temperature environment for a long time, it should be placed in a warm indoor environment for a period of time before being charged indoors.

It should be noted that if an electric forklift is used in a place where the temperature is too low, the electrolyte of the battery may freeze. If the battery with frozen electrolyte is charged directly, it may explode. Before charging, the electric forklift should be stored in a warm environment for a period of time, so that it can thaw quickly before recharging the electrolyte. During normal use, pay attention to the thermal insulation of the battery. No matter what the forklift price is, on the one hand, this can ensure the normal use of the electric forklift, and on the other hand, it can ensure that the battery can be charged normally and quickly after the completion of the re work. The Spring Festival is coming, and the work intensity and workload of electric forklifts have greatly increased. Therefore, correct maintenance becomes more important, and enterprises and drivers need to pay more attention.
