The Zhongluotan area is home to a large number of manufacturing enterprises, warehousing and logistics parks. Many companies have equipped their on-site truck teams with BYD electric forklifts, and at the same time, they are equipped with different types of small handling equipment to form a mixed fleet to undertake high-frequency cargo transshipment work on a daily basis. Without a systematic maintenance plan, it is easy to experience problems such as accelerated vehicle wear and tear and sudden downtime. Unreasonable piecemeal maintenance arrangements will also increase the operating expenses of enterprises. Comprehensive maintenance solutions adapted to local scenarios can solve such pain points well.
This comprehensive maintenance plan adopts a hierarchical inspection and maintenance mechanism, which will not add unnecessary maintenance burden to the enterprise. The daily basic maintenance covers the vehicle status investigation before the daily operation. The staff will assist the operator to confirm the vehicle brake sensitivity, steering flexibility, fork surface wear, and power display accuracy to avoid the vehicle from being operated on the line with hidden dangers. The weekly maintenance will lubricate and maintain the transmission parts of the vehicle, clean the dust and debris accumulated at the circuit interface, and calibrate the tire pressure to avoid the driving sideslip problem caused by abnormal tire pressure. The monthly maintenance will check the sealing of the hydraulic system of the electric forklift, clean up the debris attached to the heat dissipation system, and ensure the stable state of the vehicle when operating at high load for a long time.
Considering the differences in the structure and duration of different equipment in the mixed fleet, the plan adopts differentiated maintenance adaptation logic and will not handle all vehicles with unified standards. For the core components of BYD electric forklifts, systematically trained operation and maintenance personnel are arranged to operate on-site, record battery charge and discharge data, motor operation status, and various operating parameters of the electronic control system throughout the process, and calibrate parameters as needed to avoid non-professional operation damage to core components and prolong the normal service life of the vehicle. For other handling equipment in the same fleet, equipment information will also be registered one by one to match the corresponding maintenance cycle, and all maintenance records will be filed and managed uniformly, eliminating the need for enterprises to connect with different service providers and reducing docking costs.
Combining with the local climate characteristics of Zhongluotan with high summer temperatures and high humidity in the rainy season, this plan also includes the service content of anticipating pre-faults. The exclusive maintenance file of each vehicle will continuously update the loss data of previous inspections, and the operation and maintenance personnel can identify the loss trend of the parts in advance and arrange replacement before the parts completely fail. Before the rainy season, the circuit interface of all electric forklifts will be uniformly protected against moisture. During the high temperature period in summer, the frequency of investigation of the battery cooling system will be increased to reduce the probability of sudden vehicle failure during peak operation as much as possible, and the impact of unplanned shutdown on the enterprise will be reduced.
This comprehensive maintenance plan that fits the local usage scenario allows enterprises to adjust the service frequency flexibly according to their own fleet size and operation intensity, without the need for enterprises to store too many maintenance spare parts. In the long run, it can help enterprises stabilize and improve the overall attendance efficiency of the fleet, and reasonably control the full cycle of forklift operation and maintenance expenses.
