In the deep cold storage area of the cold chain logistics center, traditional lead-acid battery forklifts have long been plagued by capacity reduction and performance degradation due to low 

temperatures. With technological breakthroughs, the new generation of electric forklifts is breaking this deadlock with the posture of "low-temperature endurance warriors".

Industry pain point: the "freezing" problem of cold chain logistics

As a key link in ensuring food safety and drug efficacy, the core challenge of cold chain logistics lies in the extreme performance requirements of handling equipment in low-temperature environments. Traditional lead-acid battery forklifts experience a sharp decrease in capacity to 50% -60% of room temperature in low temperature environments, resulting in frequent battery replacement or charging during operation, seriously disrupting the work rhythm. Under extreme cold conditions, the charging efficiency of lead-acid batteries significantly decreases, and may even cause permanent damage due to sulfation, shortening the battery life from the usual 2 years to less than 1 year. In addition, traditional forklifts also face problems such as voltage drops, insufficient power, and rising maintenance costs, which are particularly prominent in deep cold storage at -15 ℃. Faced with the special needs of cold chain logistics, the new generation of electric forklifts has demonstrated excellent environmental adaptability through multiple technological innovations.

Battery technology innovation

Low temperature resistant lithium batteries have become the solution. ROYPOW and other brands have launched antifreeze lithium batteries that integrate preheating function and special insulation materials, and can work stably in environments ranging from -20 ℃ to -15 ℃. LEAD SKYLIFT forklift still maintains a battery capacity retention rate of up to 75% in a -15 ℃ environment, solving the range pain point of cold chain logistics.

Vehicle protection design

For cold storage environments, electric forklifts need to have comprehensive protective capabilities:

Waterproof protection: Adopting automotive grade waterproof device, the core controller reaches IP67 protection level to prevent condensation water erosion. 

Anti slip treatment: Equipped with low hardness polyurethane or patterned rubber tires to enhance grip on wet and slippery cold storage floors. 

Rust prevention treatment: Special protection is applied to the frame, and key bearings are made of stainless steel material.

Efficient power system

LEAD SKYLIFT forklift adopts a 96V dual water cooling system, which breaks through the limitations of traditional air cooling technology, effectively solves the heat dissipation problem under high temperature and high load conditions, and extends the equipment life.

This model also adopts an eight in one powertrain, achieving a highly integrated drive system, reducing energy consumption by 15% compared to mainstream electric forklifts in the market, and reducing maintenance costs throughout the entire lifecycle by 30%.

Future outlook: Dual mission of intelligence and green low-carbon

Electric forklifts are no longer just transportation tools, but also a breakthrough for cold chain enterprises to achieve digital management. Through digital platforms, enterprises can conduct statistics and analysis on forklift operation efficiency, optimize equipment configuration and workload, and achieve lower operating costs. Electric forklifts, as the data entry point for logistics, can use digital twin technology to map warehouse environment, equipment status, and operation processes in real time, and provide early warning of equipment failures. In the future, electric forklifts will be deeply integrated with unmanned driving technology and AI algorithms to create a new low-carbon intelligent logistics ecosystem covering the entire process of warehousing, handling, sorting, loading and unloading.

Electric forklifts, with their stable performance in low-temperature environments, zero emission advantages, and continuous technological progress, are becoming the true "low-temperature endurance warriors" of cold chain logistics centers.

From simple handling tools to important components of intelligent logistics systems, the evolution of the role of electric forklifts marks the cold chain logistics industry's move towards efficiency, greenness, and intelligence.
