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

2026-07-01

The drinking water industry is an important sector in the field of people's livelihood fast-moving consumer goods. Products are directly related to public health. From material loading and unloading stacking in supply warehouses, transfer of workshop production lines, to palletizing storage in finished warehouses, loading and shipment at the end point, the environmental protection attributes, operation stability and operation efficiency of full-link handling equipment directly affect the production rhythm and product environmental safety. With the seasonal fluctuations in industry consumer demand and the continuous improvement of quality standards, drinking water enterprises have put forward higher requirements for the clean adaptability, battery life and long-term operating costs of handling equipment. BYD forklifts rely on lithium iron phosphate electric technology accumulation, combined with the characteristics of industry working conditions, to launch exclusive warehousing and handling solutions to help drinking water enterprises optimize the in-plant logistics system, taking into account operational efficiency and cost control.

First, the working conditions of storage and handling in the drinking water industry

The warehousing and handling scenario in the drinking water industry has distinct fast-moving consumer properties, which puts forward multi-dimensional requirements for equipment adaptability.

First, the overall operating load is moderate. The single load of core scenarios such as supply warehouse handling, workshop transfer, and finished product entry and exit are mostly within 2.5 tons, which requires high flexibility and accuracy in equipment control.

Second, the operation time is long and there are seasonal fluctuations. The industry generally adopts the three-shift operation mode, and the average daily working hours of forklifts can reach more than 20 hours; in the peak consumption season, the operation intensity is further increased, and there are higher requirements for equipment battery life and replenishment efficiency.

Third, the operating environment is demanding. Affected by product characteristics, warehousing and production have clear standards for cleanliness, temperature and humidity, and strict restrictions on the emission level and cleanliness properties of handling equipment.

Fourth, the operation scene covers indoor and outdoor. Loading and unloading and factory transshipment involve outdoor venues, and warehousing and production are mainly indoor, requiring equipment to have good multi-scene adaptation capabilities.

Fifth, the demand for customized attachments is outstanding. In order to improve the operation efficiency of different links, enterprises often need to match professional attachments such as pushers, side shifters, and tipping forks, which have clear requirements for the expansion and adaptation of equipment.

Second, the application limitations of traditional lead-acid battery forklifts

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

At the daily maintenance level, lead-acid batteries need to be regularly added with distilled water and electrolyte, which makes the maintenance process cumbersome and the operation is not standardized, which can shorten the battery life and increase the investment of enterprise manpower and time.

In terms of operating costs, lead-acid batteries have a long charging cycle. In order to ensure continuous operation of multiple shifts, enterprises need to equip spare batteries and replace them daily. In some scenarios, special power replacement equipment is also required, which increases the comprehensive operation investment.

In terms of safety and environmental protection, lead-acid batteries are prone to acid mist during operation, and hydrogen is released during charging, which not only poses a safety hazard, but also may have a potential impact on the clean environment of drinking water production and storage. At the same time, it is necessary to build a dedicated charging room and arrange special personnel to manage it, which occupies storage space and increases infrastructure costs.

In addition, lead-acid batteries have a significant battery life attenuation in low-temperature environments, making it difficult to stably adapt to some low-temperature storage scenarios and unable to fully meet the diverse storage needs of the industry.

III. Exclusive solutions for BYD forklift industry

In response to the working conditions and existing pain points of the drinking water industry, BYD forklifts build an adaptable industry handling solution from four dimensions: product matrix, core configuration, customized adaptation, and service guarantee.

In the product layout, a equipment matrix covering the whole operation scene is formed. 1.6T-2.5T counterweight forklifts can be selected for the loading and unloading stacking of the supply warehouse and the finished product warehouse; 2.5T pallet trucks and 1.5T small trucks can be adapted for short-distance lightweight transfer of the production line; 1.6T front moving trucks can be used for high-level shelf operations to fully match the operation needs of different links.

In terms of core performance, all models are equipped with lithium iron phosphate batteries, which are maintenance-free and can be used as needed. There is no need to equip spare batteries or build a special charging room, which can effectively avoid acid mist and hydrogen emission risks and adapt to a clean production environment. Calculated by working 20 hours a day for 2.5T models, the monthly energy consumption cost of BYD electric forklifts is lower than that of lead-acid battery forklifts of the same tonnage; a five-year cycle is used to comprehensively calculate energy consumption, maintenance, battery amortization and other costs, and a single device can effectively reduce comprehensive operating expenses. At the same time, the battery has good low temperature adaptation characteristics. With the waterproof and antifreeze design of key components, it can be stably adapted to low temperature storage operation scenarios.

In terms of customization and safety configuration, it supports the customization of gantry height and fork specifications, and can be attached to various professional attachments such as push-pull devices and side-shifters. The vehicle is equipped with multiple safety designs such as slope protection, overload protection, low cylinder buffer, and turning speed limit. It is equipped with humanized configurations such as cab and warning lights, taking into account operational safety and operation experience. The vehicle adopts mainstream parts configuration, which not only ensures the efficiency and durability of the whole vehicle, but also has high cost performance.

In terms of service guarantee, the battery provides a 5-year quality assurance cycle, which can reduce the maintenance concerns of enterprises for long-term use of vehicles; at the same time, a full-link service system covering pre-sale, in-sale and after-sale is established, and a hierarchical response mechanism and stepped professional training are supported. Support 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 served many well-known drinking water enterprises such as Wahaha, China Resources Yibao, Nongfu Spring, Jingtian Centennial Mountain, etc. The application covers core scenarios such as raw material warehouses, production workshops, and finished product warehouses. The scale of equipment ranges from dozens to hundreds. The stable operation performance and clean and environmentally friendly characteristics have been recognized by customers. In addition to the drinking water industry, related products have also been put into use in many industries such as food, medicine, and logistics, adapting to the handling needs of different fields.

As the drinking water industry continues to upgrade towards quality and greening, the cleanliness and efficiency of in-plant logistics has become an important direction for the development of the industry. BYD forklifts rely on lithium battery technology advantages and industry scenarios to continuously polish the exclusive handling solutions for the drinking water industry. While ensuring operation efficiency and product environmental safety, they help enterprises reduce costs and increase efficiency, practice green production concepts, and provide reliable equipment support for industry logistics upgrades.
