 Maintenance cost analysis of diesel forklift versus electric forklift


Maintenance cost of diesel forklift:
In addition to daily normal lubrication, diesel forklifts need the following maintenance and replacement of vulnerable parts.

1. The maintenance cycle of the new car is 100 hours, and the oil, oil filter, diesel filter, air filter, gantry, chain, tilt cylinder, gantry tile, and steering axle should be greased.

2. After the actual operating hours of the forklift reach 400 hours, replace the oil, oil filter, diesel filter and air filter.

3. After the actual operating hours of the forklift reaches 700 hours, replace the oil, oil filter, diesel filter, air filter, gantry, chain, tilt cylinder, gantry tile, steering axle, and grease the front and rear wheels. Clean the bearing inside and lubricate it according to the lubrication table.

4. After the actual operating hours of the forklift reaches 1000 hours, replace the oil, oil filter, diesel filter, air filter, gear oil, transmission oil, transmission filter element and hydraulic oil.

5. After the actual operating hours of the forklift reach 1400 hours, replace the oil, oil filter, diesel filter and air filter.

6. After the actual operating hours of the forklift reaches 1700 hours, replace the oil, oil filter, diesel filter, air filter, gantry, chain, tilt cylinder, gantry tile, steering axle for grease injection, front and rear wheels Clean the bearing inside and lubricate it according to the lubrication table.

7. After the actual operating hours of the forklift reach 2000 hours, replace the oil, oil filter, diesel filter and air filter.

8. After the actual operating hours of the forklift reach 2400 hours, replace the oil, oil filter, diesel filter, air filter, gear oil, transmission oil, transmission filter element and hydraulic oil.

9. After the actual operating hours of the forklift reach 2700 hours, replace the oil, oil filter, diesel filter and air filter.

10. After the actual operating hours of the forklift reaches 3,000 hours, replace the oil, oil filter, diesel filter, air filter, mast, chain, tilt cylinder, mast tile, steering axle, and grease the front and rear wheels. Clean the bearing inside and lubricate it according to the lubrication table.


The cost of purchasing electric forklifts is 30% higher than that of internal combustion forklifts with the same load capacity, but the use and maintenance costs can be directly measured with relevant data. The following is the maintenance cost of electric forklifts .

Electric forklift maintenance costs:

Maintenance cycle, the maintenance cycle of electric forklifts is two to three times longer than that of diesel gasoline forklifts. Usually, the maintenance cycle of diesel gasoline forklifts is up to 500 working hours, and many electric forklifts can already achieve more than 1000 hours of maintenance. cycle.

Maintenance content, the maintenance of electric forklifts is much simpler than the maintenance of internal combustion forklifts. Usually, it is only necessary to lubricate some joint movable parts such as gantry bearings, steering axles, etc., mainly for inspection and cleaning, at most every 2000 or 3000 hours. To change the hydraulic oil, gear oil and hydraulic oil filter once, the other accessories required are very limited. In addition to lubrication, diesel gasoline forklifts need to replace the engine oil and oil filter every 500 hours at the longest, and replace the hydraulic oil, engine oil, transmission oil and these oil filters every 1000 hours. Also replace the belt.

The time required for maintenance, because the maintenance interval of electric forklifts is much longer than that of diesel gasoline forklifts, and the time required for each maintenance is much less than that of diesel gasoline forklifts, which greatly saves the labor cost required for maintenance. , In fact, what is more substantial is that the downtime of the forklift is greatly shortened, so the economic benefits brought by the improved forklift work efficiency are difficult to calculate.

With the continuous improvement of environmental protection requirements, the market demand for diesel forklifts will gradually decrease in the future. On the contrary, the market demand for electric forklifts with environmental protection characteristics will inevitably increase year by year. In the short term, although its price is relatively expensive, because the maintenance cost is lower than that of diesel forklifts, and the maintenance cycle is two to three times that of diesel forklifts, the maintenance time is much less than that of diesel forklifts, which can greatly save maintenance labor costs. The downtime of the forklift is effectively shortened, which is conducive to improving the working efficiency of the forklift and improving the economic benefits. Therefore, in terms of long-term maintenance, the cost of the electric forklift is more economical.
