Electric Forklift FAQ

Get answers to common questions about BYD lithium-powered material handling equipment.

What is the total cost of ownership (TCO) for BYD lithium forklifts vs lead-acid?+

BYD lithium forklifts offer 30-40% lower TCO over 10 years compared to lead-acid. Key savings: No battery replacement needed (lead-acid needs 2-3 replacements), 50% less energy consumption, zero maintenance (no watering, no equalization), and 30% longer operational uptime due to fast charging.

How long does it take to charge a BYD lithium forklift?+

BYD lithium forklifts can reach 80% charge in just 1 hour using standard charging. Opportunity charging during breaks is also possible without damaging the battery, unlike lead-acid alternatives that require full charge cycles.

What is the lifespan of BYD forklift batteries?+

BYD forklift batteries are designed to last 10+ years with over 4,000 charge cycles. This is 3-4 times longer than traditional lead-acid batteries, which typically last 3-4 years and 1,500 cycles.

Are BYD electric forklifts safe for indoor use?+

Yes, BYD electric forklifts produce zero emissions and are ideal for indoor warehouse operations. Unlike diesel or propane forklifts, they emit no harmful exhaust, fumes, or particulates, creating a safer and healthier work environment.

What forklift capacities does BYD offer?+

BYD offers a complete range from 1.5 to 35 tons: Counterbalance forklifts (1.5-8.5t), Reach trucks (1.4-2.5t), Heavy-duty forklifts (10-35t), Pallet trucks (1.5-2.5t), Tow tractors (2-25t), and Order pickers (up to 1.2t).

How do BYD forklifts compare to diesel forklifts?+

BYD electric forklifts offer significant advantages over diesel: 70% lower fuel costs, zero emissions for indoor use, 50% lower maintenance costs (no oil changes, filters), quieter operation (under 70dB), and no fuel storage requirements. Initial cost is offset within 2-3 years.

Do BYD forklifts require special charging infrastructure?+

BYD lithium forklifts use standard industrial charging equipment. No special ventilated charging rooms required (unlike lead-acid), no battery changing equipment needed, and chargers can be installed anywhere with standard electrical supply.
