BYD forklift dairy industry storage and handling solutions: adapt to clean operation needs and create an efficient green logistics system

2026-07-01

The dairy industry is closely related to people's livelihood consumption, and products have high requirements for the cleanliness of the storage environment, operation efficiency and distribution timeliness. From the unloading and transshipment of materials, the turnover of the finished product warehouse to the end point of loading and shipment, the operation stability, environmental protection attributes and operation efficiency of the handling equipment directly affect the production rhythm and product quality control. In response to the operation characteristics and logistics upgrade needs of the dairy industry, BYD forklift relies on the advantages of lithium battery technology to launch adaptive warehousing and handling solutions to help dairy companies improve the efficiency of in-plant logistics and control long-term operating costs.

First, the working conditions of warehousing and handling in the dairy industry

The warehousing and handling scene of the dairy industry has distinct industry attributes, which puts forward multi-dimensional requirements for equipment adaptability.

First, the operation load is concentrated. The single load of the core scenarios such as incoming material handling, finished product turnover, loading and shipment is mostly in the 2-3.5-ton range, which has clear requirements for the load stability of the equipment.

The second is that the operation time is long and there are seasonal fluctuations. The industry generally adopts the two-shift production mode, and the average daily working time of forklifts can reach 12 hours; in the peak consumption season, the operation intensity is further increased, and the equipment battery life and replenishment efficiency are required to be higher.

The third is mainly indoor operations, which require high environmental cleanliness. Dairy production and storage are mostly completed in indoor venues, and handling equipment must meet the environmental requirements of clean production to avoid the risk of pollution to the product.

Fourth, there is a clear demand for customization. Combined with different handling scenarios, enterprises often need to be equipped with professional attachments such as pushers, side shifters, and tipping forks to improve the efficiency of different links.

Fifth, the operation stability of the goods is high. Some dairy products are packaged in bottles and cans, which belong to the fragile category. The handling and stacking process has a high standard for operation stability, and it needs to be handled with care as much as possible.

Second, the application limitations of traditional handling equipment

In the past, dairy companies mostly used lead-acid battery forklifts as the main handling equipment, which had many limitations in the process of adapting to industry characteristics.

At the daily maintenance level, lead-acid batteries need to be regularly added with distilled water and electrolyte, which makes the maintenance process cumbersome. Improper operation can easily affect the service life of the battery and increase the investment of manpower and time in the enterprise.

In terms of operating costs, lead-acid batteries charge slowly. In order to ensure continuous operation in multiple shifts, enterprises need to equip spare batteries and replace them daily. In some scenarios, special power exchange equipment is also required, which increases the comprehensive operation investment.

At the level of safety and environmental protection, lead-acid batteries are prone to acid fog when working, and hydrogen is released during the charging process, which not only has certain safety hazards, but also may affect the clean production environment; at the same time, it is necessary to build a special charging room and arrange special management, which occupies storage space and increases the cost of infrastructure.

III. BYD forklift dairy industry adaptation solutions

In light of the working conditions and existing pain points of the dairy industry, BYD forklifts build an adaptable industry handling solution from four dimensions: product selection, core configuration, custom adaptation, and service guarantee.

In terms of product selection, for the core handling scenario, a 3.5T counterbalanced forklift is recommended as the main equipment, which is suitable for multi-scenario operation requirements such as incoming material unloading, finished product turnover, loading and shipment; for long-distance and large-volume transportation scenarios, it can be matched with a 25T tractor to ensure the material flow efficiency of the factory area. Both devices are equipped with lithium iron phosphate batteries, which are maintenance-free, stable battery life, and can be used as needed. There is no need to equip spare batteries or build a special charging room. They are suitable for indoor clean working environment.

In terms of cost control, based on the 3.5T model working 12 hours a day, the hourly energy consumption of BYD electric forklifts is lower than that of lead-acid battery forklifts of the same tonnage. With a five-year cycle to comprehensively calculate energy consumption, maintenance, battery amortization and other costs, a single device can effectively reduce comprehensive operating expenses. With a high-current charging cabinet, employees can quickly replenish energy during rest intervals to meet the battery life needs of high-intensity operations in peak seasons.

In terms of configuration and customization, the vehicle is equipped with mainstream core components, and is equipped with multiple safety designs such as slope protection, overload protection, low cylinder buffer, and turning speed limit to ensure smooth operation and reduce the risk of breakage of fragile goods. At the same time, it supports highly customized door frames, fork specifications, and can be attached to professional attachments such as side shifters and double tray forks. For different working environments, it can provide fully enclosed cabs, anti-skid pedals, warning lights and other humanized configurations to adapt to the diverse operating needs of the dairy industry.

In terms of service guarantee, the battery provides a 5-year quality assurance cycle to reduce the maintenance concerns of enterprises for long-term use of vehicles. At the same time, a whole-process service system covering pre-sale, in-sale and after-sale is established, with a hierarchical response mechanism and stepped professional training, and supports sales, financial leasing, operating leasing and other cooperation models to adapt to the procurement planning of different enterprises.

IV. Industry landing practice

At present, BYD forklifts have landed in many well-known dairy companies such as Mengniu, Yili, and Wahaha, and are used in core operation scenarios such as incoming warehouses and finished product warehouses. The scale of equipment ranges from dozens to hundreds, and the stable operation performance and clean and environmentally friendly operation characteristics have been recognized by customers. In addition to the dairy industry, related products have also been put into use in logistics, food, paper and other industries to meet the handling needs of different fields.

As the dairy industry continues to develop towards intelligence and greening, the cleanliness and efficiency upgrade of in-plant logistics has become an industry consensus. BYD forklifts rely on lithium battery technology accumulation and industry scenes to continuously polish the exclusive handling solutions for the dairy industry. While ensuring operation efficiency and product quality, they help enterprises reduce costs and increase efficiency, practice green production concepts, and provide reliable equipment support for the logistics upgrade of the dairy industry.
