What certifications are required when purchasing electric forklifts?
A legitimate electric forklift manufacturer should hold the national Special Equipment Production License, and products must pass type tests by national special equipment inspection authorities. Duolika holds the Special Equipment Production License, and its flagship CPD35 has obtained the Type Test Certificate, ensuring safety and compliance.
What is the standard lifting height of Duolika electric forklifts?
The standard lifting height is 3000mm. Body dimensions, lifting height, and other configurations can be customized according to customer requirements to meet various warehouse height requirements.
Can Duolika electric forklifts be customized?
Yes. Duolika supports customization of body dimensions, lifting height, fork length (e.g., the 1.0T comes with 1220mm forged forks, optional), battery type (lead-acid/lithium), and other configurations, providing one-stop material handling solutions.
2Getting Started For first-time buyers
Why is everyone switching from internal combustion forklifts to new energy (lithium) forklifts?
There are three main reasons:
- Energy savings & lower cost: Electricity is far cheaper than diesel/LPG, and maintenance costs are very low.
- Environmental friendliness: No exhaust emissions, a quieter work environment, and compliance with national environmental policies.
- Operational efficiency: Lithium batteries support fast and "opportunity charging," eliminating the swap rooms and long charge times of traditional lead-acid batteries and greatly improving operational continuity.
Can new energy forklifts really work outdoors like diesel forklifts?
Absolutely. Modern high-performance new energy forklifts (especially large-tonnage models) feature automotive-grade waterproof and dustproof designs (such as IP67 protection rating) with outstanding power performance. As long as conditions are not extreme, new energy forklifts match or even exceed equivalent IC forklifts in power response and gradeability. Duolika CPD25 and above achieve a gradeability of 30 degrees.
3Tech & Maintenance For equipment managers
What are the core advantages of lithium battery forklifts over traditional lead-acid battery forklifts?
Lithium batteries are "maintenance-free"—no water top-ups, no acid cleaning, and no dedicated ventilated charging room required. Their service life is typically more than three times that of lead-acid batteries, with higher energy density and lighter weight, making the overall forklift design more compact with a smaller turning radius. All Duolika models of 1.5 tons and above support optional lithium battery configuration.
What daily maintenance should new energy forklifts receive?
Compared with the complex engine maintenance of IC forklifts, new energy forklift maintenance is simple. Key points:
- Regular inspections: Check tire wear, hydraulic oil level, and whether forks and mast structural parts are deformed.
- Electrical safety: Keep the vehicle dry—although components are moisture-resistant, do not pressure-wash the dashboard and battery connectors directly.
- Operating habits: Follow the "three-point contact" rule when getting on and off; follow the manufacturer's charging guidance to avoid over-discharging or sustained overload in extreme heat.
What is the difference between AC motors and brushless motors in Duolika forklifts?
Duolika's smaller models (e.g., CPD15 to CPD25) use AC motors, which are reliable and cost-effective. The larger CPD30 and CPD40 use brushless motors, which eliminate brush wear, deliver higher efficiency and stronger dynamic response, and are better suited to heavy-duty and high-intensity operations. Both drive types are paired with optimized energy management for high efficiency.
4Investment & ROI For business owners
New energy forklifts cost more upfront—is it really worth it?
Although new energy forklifts have a slightly higher initial purchase cost than traditional IC forklifts, you must calculate the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO):
- Energy cost: Electricity is only 1/3 to 1/4 of fuel.
- Maintenance cost: Eliminates replacement of engine parts, spark plugs, and filters.
- Hidden value: Very high availability, better occupational health (no exhaust), and meeting ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) requirements.
Typically, the premium is recovered through operating savings within 1.5 to 2 years.
What payment methods does Duolika accept?
Duolika accepts T/T (telegraphic transfer), L/C (letter of credit), and cash. Currencies accepted include USD and CNY. For specific payment terms and installment options, please confirm with our sales team when requesting a quote.
5Safety & Emergency Risk prevention
Can new energy forklift batteries catch fire? How should it be prevented?
Any lithium device carries some risk, but under compliant use the risk is very low. Core prevention principles:
- Authorized channels: Never modify circuits privately or use non-manufacturer-approved charging equipment.
- Environment management: Keep flammable and explosive materials out of charging areas and equip them with suitable fire extinguishers (dry powder or lithium-specific).
- Fault warning: Modern new energy forklifts have a BMS (Battery Management System). On abnormal temperature or unstable voltage, the vehicle automatically limits power or shuts down and alarms—stop operation immediately and contact after-sales; never force a restart.
What should I do if the forklift suddenly runs out of power during operation?
New energy forklifts typically have a "power reserve" design: at 10%-15% charge, the dashboard and buzzer issue a warning; at around 5%, the system enters a "low-speed limited mode," giving the operator time to drive to a charging station. Companies should establish a "tiered charging plan"—for example, requiring a swap or charge when battery drops below 20%—to avoid complete power loss and operational interruptions.
6Performance & Limits Professional selection
Does new energy forklift performance drop in cold storage and other extreme conditions?
There is an impact, but it can be solved through technical selection. Lithium battery activity decreases at very low temperatures, reducing runtime. Solution: for cold storage operations, purchase a specialized version with a "battery heating module." These vehicles typically seal the body circuits against condensation and optimize the powertrain for low temperatures, ensuring normal operation at -20°C and below.
Can new energy forklifts really achieve human-machine interaction and digitalization?
Yes—this is one of the biggest generational differences between new energy and traditional forklifts. Mainstream brands support integration with an FMS (Fleet Management System):
- Data monitoring: Managers can view each truck's battery level, location, operating hours, collision records, and even driver behavior in real time via mobile.
- Access control: Only authorized cards or employee IDs can start the forklift, effectively preventing accidents from unauthorized use.
7Buying & Battery Life Decision deep-dive
How long does a new energy forklift battery actually last? How is it handled after retirement?
Service life: High-quality lithium iron phosphate batteries typically support 3000-4000 charge cycles. At one charge per day, service life can reach 8-10 years, usually far exceeding the forklift's own mechanical wear cycle.
Recycling: Mainstream manufacturers now run "battery take-back and trade-in programs." When purchasing, clarify used-battery recycling terms with the supplier—many offer competitive buyback plans that reduce your residual value loss.
Expert tip: When comparing multiple models, don't just look at "rated tonnage"—focus on "gradeability at full load" and "battery fast-charge speed (e.g., whether it supports 1-hour charge to 80%)". These two metrics are often the key to keeping operations running during peak warehouse hours.
How do I select the right model for different working environments (cold storage, narrow aisles, high racks)?
Selection details vary by environment. Cold storage requires dedicated low-temperature protection (battery heating module, anti-condensation circuits); narrow aisles may require tri-directional forklift technology; high-rack scenarios demand attention to lifting height (Duolika standard 3000mm, customizable higher). We recommend describing your working conditions to a Duolika engineer before purchase for professional selection advice.
How do I choose the right electric forklift based on load requirements?
Match the model to load and scenario: 1.0-1.5T (CPD10/CPD15) for small to medium warehouses, retail distribution, and light workshops; 2.0-3.0T (CPD20/CPD25/CPD30) for medium factories, logistics parks, and building material markets; 3.5T flagship CPD35 (national type test certified) for heavy manufacturing and port logistics; 4.0T CPD40 for ultra-heavy loads such as metallurgy and ports.
