In modern logistics, safety, cost-effectiveness, and efficiency are keys. Yet, many logistics centers\u00a0face significant challenges: limited battery life of\u00a0handling equipment, safety concerns with charging, and the struggle to go green without slowing everything down. These issues often result in reduced efficiency\u00a0and\u00a0increased costs. How can modern logistics centers overcome these challenges?<\/p>\n
Providing you with the optimal solution, EP\u2019s latest X4 series<\/a> features innovative manual-swap battery packs and reduces your limitations in modern logistics scenarios.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Hangzhou Transfar Logistics Center, one of the biggest logistics centers in the Yangtze delta region, handles tens of thousands of tons of goods daily. They required\u00a0a solution that prioritized safety and efficiency while meeting environmental standards.<\/p>\n “We started with IC forklifts, which were noisy, costly, and polluting<\/b><\/strong>. Then we switched to regular electric forklifts, but charging was inconvenient and interrupted our busy operations<\/b><\/strong>.”\u00a0Mr. Li, a business owner\u00a0at the center, explains.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n EP implemented a comprehensive material handling solution for the logistics center\u00a0including over 50 units of X4 series forklifts and the charging stations specifically designed for X4 forklifts batteries. The X4\u2019s lightweight<\/strong> battery packs are designed with handles for easy and effortless handling, allowing for easy and quick 2-minute<\/b><\/strong>\u00a0power replenishment.\u00a0This plug-and-play<\/strong> solution enables continuous operation without compromising efficiency.<\/p>\n Multiple charging stations are centralized and powered by the center’s existing solar infrastructure, without extra power grid infrastructure. This centralization significantly reduces the safety risks associated with dispersed charging by individual user, especially in a crowded environment filled with goods and packages.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Management side and logistics business owners in a\u00a0major logistics center in Shandong faced multiple operational challenges, including high maintenance issues with IC trucks, noise and air pollution,\u00a0need for efficient power management, and balancing individual user internal charging convenience with overall safety.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n EP deployed its innovative package of “X4s + Dedicated charging stations + EP Energy storage cabinets<\/a>“<\/strong>. In addition to off-site charging and manual swaps, the solution also included EP Energy storage cabinets that charge during off-peak hours at night, ensuring low-cost power supply for the charging stations. Telematics<\/a> system with display shows real-time fleet power consumption and battery charging status. All relied on the existing power grid and required no modification.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n While individual users appreciated the flexibility of charging anywhere, the management found value in centralized off-site charging for safety and efficiency. The X4 package successfully addressed both perspectives, providing a\u00a0win-win<\/b><\/strong>\u00a0situation.\u00a0Charging safety, continuous operation and low costs could be achieved at the same time. By the way, it\u2019s\u00a0eco-friendly<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n24\/7 Operation at Hangzhou Transfar Logistics<\/b><\/strong>\u00a0<\/b><\/strong>Center<\/b><\/strong><\/h2>\n
