Recommendations for moisture-proof storage of electric forklifts

Dec 31, 2024

There are some key recommendations for moisture-proof storage of electric forklifts to ensure that their batteries and other electrical components are not affected by moisture. The following are specific moisture-proof storage recommendations:

1. Choose a dry storage environment: Store the electric forklift in a dry, well-ventilated place to avoid a humid environment. If possible, choose an indoor storage space with a dehumidifier.

2. Use moisture-proof mats: Lay moisture-proof mats or moisture-proof cloth on the ground to prevent moisture from rising from the ground from affecting the forklift.

3. Check the battery status regularly: Even during storage, check the electrolyte water level of the battery regularly to ensure that the battery is fully charged. If the battery is found to be lacking water, distilled water should be added in time.

4. Keep the battery charged: When the electric forklift is not used for a long time, the battery should be fully charged and charged every 1-2 months to prevent damage caused by self-discharge of the battery.

5. Avoid horizontal placement of the battery: The battery should be kept upright when stored and avoid horizontal placement, as horizontal placement may cause electrolyte to flow out and damage the electrode plate.

6. Regular maintenance: Regularly maintain the electric forklift to check whether the electrical connection is firm and whether there is any corrosion. Repair any parts that may have water ingress in a timely manner.

7. Use waterproof covers: When storing in a humid environment, you can use waterproof covers to cover the key components of the electric forklift, such as batteries, motors and electronic control systems.

8. Temperature control: Ensure that the temperature of the storage environment is within the appropriate range to avoid damage to the battery and electrical components caused by excessively high or low temperatures. The ideal battery storage temperature is around 25 degrees.

Through the above measures, the electric forklift can be effectively prevented from getting damp during storage, extending its service life and ensuring safe operation.
